What Makes Dental Implants So Strong?

A dental implant replaces your missing tooth structure, not just the part you see. The dentist places a titanium post into the jawbone to mimic a natural tooth root. After the bone fuses with the post, we attach a crown, bridge, or denture to complete the restoration.

This secure foundation makes implants the most durable, lifelike option for replacing teeth.

Who Can Get Dental Implants?

Most healthy adults with missing teeth qualify for implants. If your gums stay healthy and your jawbone has enough density, the dentist can proceed with implant placement. Even if bone loss has already occurred, we offer solutions like bone grafting to prepare the area.

The dentist will review your health history and examine your mouth and jaw to confirm your suitability.

Why Choose Implants Over Dentures or Bridges?

Other options replace the tooth’s visible part, but only implants address the root. Implants prevent jawbone shrinkage and maintain your face shape. They also stay fixed in place and never slip or shift.

Our patients often choose implants because:

  • They look and feel like natural teeth
  • They restore full chewing strength
  • They don’t affect the surrounding teeth
  • They support long-term oral health
  • They last for decades with good care

From Start to Finish: How the Process Works

Getting dental implants involves several stages. The dentist guides you through each one with precision and care. Here’s what the full process usually looks like:

  1. We start with a consultation, exam, and digital X-rays or 3D scans
  2. The dentist places the implant post into your jawbone
  3. You heal for several months while the bone integrates with the post
  4. We attach an abutment that connects the post to your restoration
  5. The final crown, bridge, or denture gets placed to complete the look

Let’s Talk Healing Time

Your jaw needs time to bond with the implant post. This process, called osseointegration, usually takes three to six months. During this phase, we check your progress and may provide a temporary restoration so you don’t have to go without teeth.

Healing time depends on your overall health, bone strength, and how many implants you receive.

Implant Crowns, Bridges, and Dentures: Pick Your Perfect Fit

We tailor your implant restoration based on how many teeth you’re missing. Our dentist designs each one for a seamless, comfortable fit.

  • Single implants: Replace one tooth with a crown on top of one post
  • Implant bridges: Fill gaps with multiple crowns connected across two or more posts
  • Implant-supported dentures: Secure full or partial dentures with just a few implants

What if You’ve Been Missing Teeth for a While?

Your jawbone may shrink over time without a tooth root to stimulate it. The dentist checks your bone density with digital scans. If we need to rebuild the area, we offer bone grafting to help you qualify for implants. Grafting strengthens the implant site and improves long-term results.

This extra step helps many people become successful implant candidates even years after tooth loss.

Dental Implants in Little Elm: Why Locals Trust Our Team

Our office takes a personalized, step-by-step approach to implant care. We use digital tools to plan each procedure and reduce healing time accurately. The dentist keeps you informed, comfortable, and involved from your first visit to your final restoration.

We’ve helped patients in all stages of tooth loss reclaim their smiles with strong, beautiful implants.

Caring for Your Dental Implants

Implants don’t get cavities, but will develop bone loss if not cleaned properly everyday, and they still need daily care. We show you how to clean around your implant crown and gumline to prevent plaque buildup. You should brush and floss daily, visit us for regular cleanings, and avoid smoking or biting hard objects.

When you treat implants like real teeth, they reward you with long-term performance.

Common Signs You May Need an Implant

If you struggle with these symptoms, implants may be the right fit:

  • You avoid certain foods because of missing or sensitive teeth
  • Your denture slips, pinches, or feels uncomfortable
  • You have one or more missing teeth affecting your bite
  • You want a permanent, natural-looking solution
  • Your bridge feels bulky or hard to clean

I also want to mention how great their staff are, They also have a mini play area on the front which is so helpful for families with kids! THANK Y’ALL! So grateful to be care for here! 

The staff is so friendly, very easy to schedule, they do beautiful work!  Dr. G is my go-to dentist there. She’s the best!!!!!

Dr G is the best dentist I have found since moving to Dallas. I always feel at ease when I am getting work done and I fully trust her with teeth.

She is great at explaining everything to me and ensures I have the best treatment possible. You can tell she truly cares about her patients and the work that she does.

Excellent experience. Staff and Dr. G were very informative explaining my options and what to expect during the process of my treatment. Excellent Experience. My dentist Dr. G is informative, excellent practitioners and professional in resolving my issue. Hats off to you guys “Issue Resolved”.

My son has special needs and requires more time, patience and attention than a typical person. This practice and Dr. G were amazing with him and we cannot thank them enough. Instead of dreading his next cleaning, I’m looking forward to it.  Thank you guys so much!

Everyone is so friendly and kind.  Miriam and Dr. G are wonderful!  I go here for cleanings, checkups, and they did a beautiful job on my crowns.  If you have dental anxiety like me, go here and ask for Miriam and Dr G.  The rest of the staff is great too and make scheduling or rescheduling appointments easy.  Highly recommend!!!

I am very happy with the work that Dr G and Nicolette has been doing on my teeth. They conduct themselves in a highly professional manner, always smile with a worm greeting that gives me confidence in their work. They make me feel important.

I never thought I would be writing a review about a dentist, but this place is awesome! Dr G has helped me overcome my fear of dentists. She is kind, patient, and makes me laugh.  I am shocked at how relaxed I am in her chair and how effortlessly she works. I have never experienced this with another dentist.

Gadusu (DR. G)was absolutely genuine breaking everything down giving me the best recommendations for my oral care! She even did a follow up next day call after my tooth extraction. The Dental assistant that did my X-rays that was by her side was very helpful and nice as well. I highly recommend for anyone kids – to adults!

“This was my daughter’s first visit with Canyon Creek and she enjoyed it very much. She had a cleaning done and said it’s been her most enjoyable visit. Thank you Dr G!”
