If you have one or more missing teeth, you find it difficult to bite and chew or feel embarrassed to talk, to laugh, and above all socialize. Missing most or all your teeth can result in changes in your facial appearance, a decline in your health, increased discomfort, and self-consciousness. No matter how many teeth you are missing, dental implants are the “gold standard” solution. These permanent teeth, stand the test of time, lasting for decades! Full mouth dental replacements restore your oral health, smile aesthetics, and dental function. Our oral and maxillofacial surgeon at Live Oak Oral Surgery of Texas routinely places dental implants in Wichita Falls, TX, leveraging medical and dental training, advanced surgical technology, and high-quality materials to optimize treatment outcomes. Our expertise can help you achieve a better quality of life with dental implants!
We can help put an end to your painful and discouraging symptoms with full mouth solutions that fit your lifestyle, smile goals, and budget!
Most patients are aware, if they have missing teeth, dental bridges and conventional dentures are the default solution. But bridges require adjacent healthy teeth to be present and permanently modified to act as the foundation. Dentures often become loose and slip when you eat, speak, or even smile and can cause gagging or sores on the gums. Ultimately, both solutions can’t offer the bone stimulation needed to maintain a healthy jawbone or the restored function you need to eat a varied diet. Dental implants are the modern solution designed to meet these needs and more.
Securely fixed to your jawbone, dental implants return over 99% of natural biting and chewing power. They can replace one tooth, a row of teeth, or a complete arch of missing teeth using either single implants and crowns or a combination of dental implants and a custom, natural-looking bridge of teeth. In all cases, dental implants make it possible to eat comfortably with durable teeth, feel confident in a complete smile, improve your oral and physical health, and live an overall better quality of life. For this reason, implants are one of the preferred solutions for replacing any number of missing teeth.
Most of our patients either come to us ready for dental implants or can become candidates after a few initial treatments. Your dental implant treatment plan will be unique to you. We do not take the one-size-fits-all approach. We’ll determine the best path forward by learning your specific smile goals and assessing your dental and medical health as part of your consultation with our oral surgeon in Wichita Falls, TX. During this visit, you’ll also receive an examination, and we’ll review imaging of your treatment site. These are typically taken with a cone beam CT machine for an in-depth look at your jawbone health. We’ll provide a detailed review of your treatment plan and walk you through what to expect along each step of this process. Before you leave, we’ll schedule your next visit for your full mouth dental implant surgery.
On the day of your surgery, you’ll be able to check in to our front desk before being taken to your private suite. We offer sedation dentistry solutions to ensure you feel relaxed throughout your visit; our patients typically report only minor discomfort, if any. Once you’re comfortable we’ll place four or more dental implants into pre-planned locations in your jawbone. We consider it our responsibility to ensure your implant is placed as accurately and successfully as possible to guarantee it lasts as long as possible. Whether you need one arch or a full mouth of new teeth, your entire surgical phase can be completed in just one day. If you qualify, as many of our patients do, we can also immediately place your temporary teeth which function and look just like natural teeth. You’ll never go a single day without a complete smile again!
Receiving dental implants can significantly benefit your daily life as well as your health. But before you commit to treatment, make sure you see an implant surgeon you can trust. Although some general dentists have the experience to place dental implants, they haven’t had the specialized training that oral and maxillofacial surgeon have to treat any case with ease and efficiency. Oral and maxillofacial surgeon have specific training in implant surgery and anesthesia, but they also have medical training. That means our team welcomes even those with pre-existing medical conditions and those in need of complex care that many dentists turn away. We frequently see patients with advanced bone loss, severe dental anxiety, and facial trauma. We welcome you to learn more about our surgical team in Wichita Falls, TX and see how their specialized care can transform your oral health, overall health, and quality of life.
Along with lasting, life-changing advantages, dental implants also come with a higher initial cost than traditional alternatives. But as the closest thing to natural teeth, the higher cost of dental implants is immediately matched by the dramatic improvements to your self-esteem, oral health, and systemic health. This boost in the quality of your life cannot be understated. We recognize these transformative effects which is why we do everything we can to make your dental implant treatment in our Wichita Falls, TX implant practice affordable. We’ll file your insurance claim on your behalf and connect you with leading financing companies that can break your payment down into manageable monthly payments. We’ll make receiving dental implants from an experienced oral surgeon in Wichita Falls, TX affordable! Don’t wait to find out how.
