Request a FREE consultation to receive a full diagnostic work-up worth $500. This includes: Hi-Resolution Photos, Digital X-Rays, 3D CAT Scan and a Complete Clinical Evaluation.

REPLACING MULTIPLE TEETH WITH DENTAL IMPLANTS

Just as with one missing tooth, several missing teeth, bridges or dentures can be easily treated in ONE day with a dental implant solution. Implant supported solutions for multiple teeth vary from “single-unit” implants and crowns for each tooth space, to “all-on” porcelain bridges that are permanently fixed and secured by 2 or more implants.

 

THE DIAGNOSTIC PHASE

At the first visit, hi-resolution photos, digital x-rays, a 3D CAT scan and a thorough clinical evaluation will take place followed by expert explanation of the case diagnosis and treatment options. During this visit, impressions are taken (to make the replacement teeth), and a clear financial overview will be presented.

 

THE SURGICAL PHASE

For most cases, this phase involves the extraction, bone graft (if necessary) and surgical placement of the implants in ONE visit. Patients typically resume a full schedule of activities within 24 to 72 hours. Follow-up visits are 1, 4 and 12 weeks after surgery.

 

THE RESTORATIVE PHASE

When the implants have fully integrated with the jawbone (4 weeks to 4 months later), the “final” teeth are secured. Multi-unit restorative options for multiple missing teeth include: individual implants restored with individual crowns, 3 to 4 unit implant bridges secured with 2 dental implants and various types of prosthetics secured with 2 to 4 implants.

Relax. No really, relax. As a comprehensive dental implant center we offer comprehensive sedation dentistry services including light, moderate and deep IV sedation.

REPLACING A SINGLE TOOTH

One compromised, or missing tooth is easily treated in ONE visit with an “immediate” dental implant. A dental implant designed to replace a single tooth is made of three parts: The Titanium Post, which simulates the root of a pre-existing tooth by anchoring into jawbone; The Abutment, which fits over the portion of the implant that is just above the gum; and The Crown, which is fitted onto the abutment to complete the process.

 

THE DIAGNOSTIC PHASE

At the first visit, hi-resolution photos, digital x-rays, a 3D CAT scan and a thorough clinical evaluation will take place followed by expert explanation of the case diagnosis and treatment options. During this visit, a clear financial overview will be presented.

 

THE SURGICAL PHASE

The extraction, bone graft (if necessary) and placement of the dental implant takes place in ONE visit. Patients typically resume a full schedule of activities within 24 hours. Follow- up visits are 1, 4 and 12 weeks after surgery.

 

THE RESTORATIVE PHASE

When the implant has fully integrated with your jawbone (3 weeks to 3 months later), the “final” implant crown is placed. Dentiq restorations are made with the highest quality materials using a state-of-the art proprietary process until they are virtually unbreakable.

DENTIQ DENTISTRY | DENTAL IMPLANTS | DENTAL IMPLANTS COST | DENTAL IMPLANTS HOUSTON

REPLACING A BRIDGE OR DENTURE WITH DENTAL IMPLANTS

Replacing a traditional bridge or denture with an implant supported bridge or denture ensures fixation so that the denture never slips. Implant supported bridges and dentures can be secured by 2 to 4 implants (or) with mini implants.

 

THE DIAGNOSTIC PHASE

At the first visit, hi-resolution photos, digital x-rays, a 3D CAT scan and a thorough clinical evaluation will take place followed by expert explanation of the case diagnosis and treatment options. During this visit, impressions are taken (to make the replacement teeth), and a clear financial overview will be presented.

 

THE SURGICAL PHASE

A few days to a few weeks later, the surgery takes place. Under non-IV or IV sedation the extractions, bone grafts (if necessary) and implants are administered. Patients can awaken with removable, or implant secured, “initial” teeth to return home with a beautiful smile. Patients resume a full schedule of activities within 24 to 72 hours. Follow-up visits are 1, 4 and 12 weeks after surgery.

 

THE RESTORATIVE PHASE

When the implants have fully integrated with your jawbone (4 weeks to 4 months later), the restorative phase takes place. During this visit the “final” teeth are placed.

A smile changes not only the face, but the person inside, instilling new confidence that affects social and professional arenas unimaginably.” - Barbara Johnson, DDS

MODERATE SEDATION (NON-IV, ORAL CONSCIOUS)

The most common type of sedation that is administered by our doctors for single site dental implants is a type of moderate sedation that is achieved through the use of pharmacological or non-pharmacologic methods (or a combination). This type of sedation is defined as “an induced controlled state of depressed consciousness."

 

In  this state, patients maintain the ability to breathe independently and respond appropriately to physical stimulation and verbal commands. Enteral Conscious Sedation is administered by taking pills that produce feelings of relaxation and drowsiness. Some degree of amnesia is common.

 

LIGHT SEDATION (NON-IV, NO2)

Light sedation is achieved through the use of a gas called nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas. The gas is mixed with oxygen and is inhaled through a small mask placed over the nose. Inhalation Conscious Sedation: “Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen Sedation”, which is also known as “laughing gas”, is the most frequently used sedation method used in dentistry. All bodily functions remain normal and the person is able to breathe on their own. The patient will often fall asleep and may experience some level of amnesia.

 

As a comprehensive dental implant center, we offer comprehensive sedation dentistry services that ranges from light to deep (IV) sedation including general anesthesia when necessary.

DENTIQ DENTISTRY | DENTAL IMPLANTS | DENTAL IMPLANTS COST | DENTAL IMPLANTS HOUSTON

DEEP (IV) SEDATION

The most common type of sedation that is administered by our doctors for full arch & full mouth reconstructions is a type of deep (IV) sedation that is achieved through the use of an IV. This type of sedation is defined as “the inability to respond purposefully to either physical stimulation or to verbal command but the patient retains the ability to independently and continuously maintain an airway”.

 

A sedative is directly administered into the blood stream producing a profound state of relaxation to a point where the patient is completely unaware of the treatment. At our office, Board Certified Anesthesiologists administer this type of sedation. Patients receiving this type of sedation must have an adult drive them to and from their dental appointment.

MODERATE (NON-IV) SEDATION

The most common type of sedation that is administered by our doctors for multiple dental implants, which includes multi-unit bridge and denture implants, is a type of moderate sedation that is achieved through the use of pharmacological or non-pharmacologic methods (or a combination). This type of sedation is defined as “an induced controlled state of depressed consciousness."

 

In this state, patients maintain the ability to breathe independently and respond appropriately to physical stimulation and verbal commands. Enteral Conscious Sedation is administered by taking pills that produce feelings of relaxation and drowsiness as well as provide a mild anesthetic to aid in pain control. Some degree of amnesia is common.

 

DEEP (IV) SEDATION

Many patients who are having multiple dental implants placed in one visit elect deep (IV) sedation which is achieved through the use of an IV. This type of sedation is defined as “the inability to respond purposefully to either physical stimulation or to verbal command but the patient retains the ability to independently and continuously maintain an airway”.

 

A sedative is directly administered into the blood stream producing a profound state of relaxation to a point where the patient is completely unaware of the treatment. At our office, Anesthesiologists administer this type of sedation.

ADVANCED DIAGNOSTICS

Our mission, "take great care of great people" starts with a diagnostically driven approach to exceptional dentistry.

And, because offices claim to provide compassionate, high quality care, yet they fail to ask what compassionate, high quality care means to you. We realize that patients have unique values so we strive to understand that which matters most to you. We believe that this information is just as important as the hi-resolution photos, digital x-rays, the 3D CAT scan and the thorough clinical evaluation that takes place during your first visit.

LEADING TECHNOLOGIES

We have the latest imaging and implant technologies including an on-site implant imaging center where 3D CT technology enables our clinicians to visualize critical structures, like infection sites, bone densities, nerves, roots and the sinus cavities with unparallel clarity. As a result, this type of technology is used to diagnose, plan and perform implant procedures with uncompromising precision. As a comprehensive center, we plan implant procedures for simple single-site implants to full arch "immediate load" reconstructions using Nobel Biocare™, Zimmer™, BioHorizons™ and Struaman's SLActive™. SLActive™ offers us third generation surface technology that can accelerate the osseointegration process, enhance predictability, and reduce healing times from 3 months to 3 weeks. 'Leading technologies' means having the very best tools to diagnose, prevent and treat at a different level. Welcome to the club level.

Just as with one missing tooth, several missing teeth, bridges or dentures can be easily treated in ONE day with a dental implant solution. Implant supported solutions for multiple teeth vary from “single-unit” implants and crowns for each tooth space, to “all-on” porcelain bridges that are permanently fixed and secured by 2 or more implants.

At the first visit, hi-resolution photos, digital x-rays, a 3D CAT scan and a thorough clinical evaluation will take place followed by expert explanation of the case diagnosis and treatment options. During this visit, impressions are taken (to make the replacement teeth before the permanent teeth), and a clear financial overview will be presented.

 

PERMANENT TEETH | THE SURGICAL PHASE

For most cases, this phase involves the extraction, bone graft (if necessary) and surgical placement of the implants in ONE visit. Patients typically resume a full schedule of activities within 24 to 72 hours. Follow-up visits are 1, 4 and 12 weeks after surgery.

 

PERMANENT TEETH | THE RESTORATIVE PHASE

When the implants have fully integrated with the jawbone (4 weeks to 4 months later), the “final” teeth are secured. Multi-unit restorative options for multiple missing teeth include: individual implants restored with individual crowns, 3 to 4 unit implant bridges secured with 2 dental implants and various types of prosthetics secured with 2 to 4 implants.

DENTIQ DENTISTRY | DENTAL IMPLANTS | DENTAL IMPLANTS COST | DENTAL IMPLANTS HOUSTON

PERMANENT IMPLANT DENTURES

Final teeth for the "All On 4" procedure include both fixed prostheses, such as a fixed, non-removable implant bridge with a concealed titanium framework supporting acrylic veneers, or individual crowns cemented to the bridge framework, and removable solutions, such as acrylic over-dentures on a implant bar over-denture.

 

Non-Removable Teeth

  - Implant bridge w/ concealed titanium framework supporting acrylic or porcelain

  - Individual crowns cemented to the bridge framework

 

Removable Teeth

  - Acrylic over-dentures

  - Implant bar over-denture

 

How strong will my new teeth be, and will I be able to eat more easily than I can with dentures?" You will be able to eat just about anything without worrying about slippage or your teeth falling out. The bite force with implants is far greater than with dentures. Your bite force with dental implants is about 250 pounds per square inch, where as with dentures, it's about 6. Your new implant-supported bridge can be cleaned like natural teeth while in your mouth by brushing and flossing. Only your clinician can remove the prosthesis for periodical maintenance, if necessary. You now have a permanent solution to dentures and/or partials and a lifelong guarantee of worry free success.

ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS: ALL ON 4™ (FOUR) DENTAL IMPLANTS

Treatment Alternatives: All On 4 Dental Implants To state the obvious, for various clinical and / or financial reasons, not every patient is a good candidate for the "All On 4" dental implant procedure. The good news is that you have options...   All On 4 Versus Dentures A denture is a removable device that is controlled by the patient and needs to be removed for cleaning and maintenance. It sits on the gum line, or is supported by "prepared natural teeth", normally natural teeth that can no longer function as nature intended. In the case of a partial denture, it is attached using metal hooks to adjacent teeth - further leading to failure as it grinds against natural dentition and the gum line. Patients who are missing most or all of their natural teeth and are wearing dentures know the pain and discomfort brought on by these appliances, and most seek alternative treatment. In addition, dentures do not replace the tooth root, which in turn will cause the jaw bone to melt away due to lack of stimulation, causing even more pain and embarrassment for denture wearers. Now there are viable options to help restore your smile. And one cost effective, proven option is the All-on-4 procedure. This treatment provides new teeth that are affixed to 4 implants per jaw, and look, feel and function like naturally beautiful, healthy teeth. In fact, dental implants are the closest thing we have to natural teeth. And the implants stimulate bone growth, just like your natural tooth roots helping to eliminate that sunken facial collapse which is so prevalent with denture wearers.

THE DIAGNOSTIC PHASE: ALL ON 4™ (FOUR) DENTAL IMPLANTS

Many patients who have compromised teeth or that wear dentures want to know if they are indeed a candidate for the All-on-4 procedure. The good news is that most people do meet the requirements to efficiently, effectively and safely perform the All On 4 procedure — in fact, 96% of our patients are candidates.  In  order to definitively determine who is an appropriate candidate for this  procedure, (or a treatment alternative) we utilize various diagnostic technologies including 3D imaging and pressure mapping.

 

At the first visit, hi-resolution photos, digital  x-rays, a 3D CAT scan, pressure mapping and a thorough clinical evaluation will take place  followed by expert explanation of the case diagnosis and treatment  options inclusive of the "All On 4" and alternative treatments which can range from single-site implants to replace each missing tooth space, implant retained and implant supported dentures, mini implant solutions and non-implant options.

During this visit, impressions are taken for diagnostic modeling and diagnostic design (which will also be used to make the  replacement teeth), and a clear financial overview is presented. The All On 4 procedure ranges from $17,500 to $28,500 per arch (or) $35,000 to $57,000 for both the upper and lower arches (see All On 4 Cost Quotes to know more...).

IV SEDATION OR ORAL CONSCIOUS SEDATION: ALL ON 4™ (FOUR) DENTAL IMPLANTS

IV Sedation: All On 4 Dental Implants Is there any pain or discomfort associated with this procedure? Will I feel anything? As with any surgical procedure, there are varying degrees of discomfort. For the "All On 4" patient, the surgical phase is performed under the complete comfort of IV sedation (administered by a board certified Anesthesiologist).   Postoperatively The majority of our "All On 4" dental implant patients comment on how surprised they were with the minimal discomfort they felt after the procedure. There will be minimal swelling, but it's nothing that cannot be controlled with ice and over the counter pain relievers. Patients typically resume a full schedule of activities within 24 to 72 hours. Specific post operative instructions will vary on a case by case basis. Immediate function cases (when we attach the teeth to the implants the same day), patients should maintain a soft / medium diet to allow for the implants to heal properly.  This diet should be followed for a period of 8 to 12 weeks.  In other words, nuts, hard candy, ice and other hard foods are contraindicated during this time period.

PROBLEMS / CONCERNS: ALL ON 4™ (FOUR) DENTAL IMPLANTS

While there are significant advantages to the All On 4, there are also inherent risks the patient needs to be aware of.  A primary concern with this technique is the risk of failure. In the event of just one implant failure, the entire restoration may fail.  Load distribution over 4 vs. 6 vs. 8 implants is substantial.

 

Another myth about common problem areas associated with the All On 4 is that it is commonplace that the All On 4 patient will endure jaw atrophy that occurs in the posterior region of the jaw that leads to atrophy and eventually fracture susceptibility. This atrophy poses an increased risk of jaw fracture. Since the all on four technique only places implants in the anterior of the jaw, the bone in the posterior is not stimulated to remain and retain its dentistry; consequently, posterior jaw resorption can occur.

OVERVIEW: ALL ON 4™ (FOUR) DENTAL IMPLANT BRIDGE

A full upper and/or lower arch reconstruction can be comfortably performed under IV sedation in ONE surgical visit with the All-On-4 Dental Implant Procedure developed by the Swiss dental implant company Nobel Biocare.  This procedure uses four implants with the back implants tilted to increase the bone-to-implant contact, which enables the "immediate load" and "immediate function" of the replacement teeth. 

 

For qualified patients, our office honors this treatment type for the life of the patient. At our office, only an Implant Specialist (Oral Surgeon or Periodontist), Prosthodontist and/or Restorative Dentist and a board certified Anesthesiologist performs this type of procedure. Our office performs the All On 4, or a comparable full mouth reconstruction procedure, at a frequency of four to five procedures per week.

THE SURGERY PHASE: ALL ON 4™ (FOUR) DENTAL IMPLANTS

For most cases, this phase involves the extractions, bone grafts (if necessary), bone re-contouring (if necessary) and the surgical placement of the 4 dental implants per upper and / or lower arch. The "All On 4" patient receives implant-secured teeth immediately following surgery — ONE-visit! 

 

RECOVERY & FOLLOW-UP VISITS

Patients typically resume a full schedule of activities within 24 to 72 hours. Generally speaking, follow-up visits are 1, 4 and 12 weeks after surgery.  Specific post operative instructions will vary on a case by case basis. A modified diet is required until patients receive the final teeth, which incorporate concealed titanium reinforced framework. In the mean time, patients can eat anything that can be cut with a fork, and does not involve biting or tearing with your front teeth (e.g. hamburgers, salmon, pasta, cooked vegetables, etc). Hard foods and foods that require tearing such as hard breads, pizza, carrots, corn on the cob, steak, and crunchy and sticky snacks treats such as nuts, hard candy and gum should be avoided until otherwise instructed by the principal dentist.

 

Following surgery, the first 3 follow-up visits are simple thirty minute post-op / follow-up visits to ensure that everything looks, feels and heals as indicated.

 

THE "ALL ON 4" TREATMENT PROTOCOL

Generally speaking, our office implores a three-stage "All On 4" treatment protocol categorized by the following phases:

3. The Restorative Phase

 

THE RESTORATIVE PHASE: OVERVIEW: ALL ON 4™ (FOUR) DENTAL IMPLANTS

The restorative phase starts 16 weeks after the initial surgery when the implants have fully integrated with the jawbone. At "The Prep" visit, the implants are prepared for master impressions so that the final teeth can be made. Depending on the smile design and revision requests, this final fabrication process takes 2 to 4 weeks at which point, the “final” teeth are secured. A standard adjustment visit is scheduled 1 to 2 weeks later to ensure that everything looks, feels and functions exactly as it should.

 

Week 16: The Prep (4 to 6 hours)

Week 18: The Finals (2 to 4 hours)

Week 20: Adjustments (1 hour)

THE COST: ALL ON 4™ (FOUR) DENTAL IMPLANTS

The "All On Four" dental implant procedure varies in cost and depends on the number of implants placed, ancillary procedures (extractions, bone augmentation, alveoplasty, et cetera) and the final restoration (teeth) that will permanently secure to the implants. Generally speaking, in our office, the "All On Four" can range in cost from $17,500 per arch to $28,500 per arch (or) $35,000 to $57,000 for both the upper and lower arch.  

 

Non-Removable Teeth

  - Implant bridge with a concealed titanium framework supporting acrylic or porcelain veneers

  - Individual crowns cemented to the bridge framework

 

Removable Teeth

  - Acrylic over-dentures

  - Implant bar over-denture

ALTERNATIVE TREATMENTS TO: THE "ALL ON 4" DENTAL IMPLANT BRIDGE

 

Single-Site Implant Packages ($3,500 to $5,000ea or $44,000 per arch) - Replacing individual teeth with individual implants and crown restorations. This fee includes extraction, bone graft, membrane, guided tissue (if needed), the dental implant, the custom abutment and the final crown restoration. 99.99% of our implants are "single-stage" immediate implants. As a comprehensive dental center, we carry virtually every dental implant that is made with a range of 10 to 25 back-ups per implant.

 

Implant Retained Dentures ($7,700 to $12,500 per arch) - Implant retained dentures are held in place on the implants by clips. These are often referred to as “balls” or “locators”. The denture is much more stable than a conventional denture but they are removable. It does touch the gum and there can be some rocking motion so sore spots are still possible. When using this technique, we wait 3 to 6 months for the implants to fully integrate with the jaw bone before the denture can be held in lace by the clip / ball combination. During this healing period, the patient can still wear a conventional denture and does have the option to immediately secure the denture with additional mini dental implants.

 

Implant Supported Dentures ($17,500 to $21,500 per arch) - Bar overdentures – a fixed metal bar is supported by dental implants. The bar, in turn, supports a removable denture. In this scenario, the denture doesn't actually touch the gums so sore spots are eliminated. This technique requires a 3 to 6 month healing period before the denture can be supported by the bar. Again, during this period, a conventional denture can be worn while the implants integrate with the jaw bone and mini implants can be used as adjunctive therapy to immediately load the denture.

 

Permanent, Fixed, Non-Removable Teeth ($22,000 to $28,500 per arch) - Using the All-On-4 technique, we are able to provide patients with permanent, non removable teeth. This technique achieves the highest aesthetic results and there is usually no waiting for implants to integrate. Patients usually leave with entire arches of permanent teeth on the same day as surgery. The "All On 4" procedure incorporates full arch extractions, avleoplasty (bone re-contouring) bone grafts and the surgical placement of 4 to 6 dental implants that will permanently secure a non-removable bridge comprised of 12 to 14 teeth (per arch). "ALL ON 4" A full upper and/or lower arch reconstruction can be comfortably performed under IV sedation in ONE visit with the All-On-4 Dental Implant Procedure developed by the Swiss Implant maker Nobel Biocare. This procedure uses four to six implants with the back implants tilted to increase the bone-to-implant contact, which enables the "immediate load" and "immediate function" of the replacement teeth. Our office honors this treatment type for the life of the patient. At our office, only an Implant Surgeon, Prosthodontist/ Restorative Specialist & an Anesthesiologist performs this type of procedure. Our office performs the "All On 4" procedure at a frequency of: three to five procedures per week.

 

SLActive Implants (+$500ea) - This implant osseointegrates in just 3 to 4 weeks in contrast to traditional implants which require 3 to 4 months to heal.

 

Our mission, "take great care of great people" means that we take a diagnostically driven approach to exceptional dentistry.

In the event of an accidental injury, or an extraordinary circumstance occurs that compromises the integrity of the treatment, a plan to honor the treatment will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Treatments that we can not provide a lifetime guarantee for include: traditional bridges, dentures, "mini" implants, grafts, orthodontics, composites, fillings and root canal therapy.

 

PAYMENTS: Please understand that we ask for payment at the time of impressions (or) at the time of scheduling (which ever comes first). Depending on the case, we ask for a 5 to 50% deposit, or the full prepayment (b) amount. In the event that you choose not proceed with treatment, and you make an effort in good faith to give adequate notice, the full case prepayment amount (less 5%, and any treatment that has been rendered) will be refunded to you by Dentiq within 30 days.

 

ADJUSTMENTS: 3% adjustment for any amount paid by check (a). 5% adjustment for the full case prepayment (b). Note that prepayment is due at the time of scheduling.

REPLACING ALL YOUR TEETH WITH DENTAL IMPLANTS

Upper and lower arch reconstructions can be comfortably performed under IV sedation in ONE visit. Implant supported solutions for full arch reconstructions vary from “single-unit” implants and crowns for each tooth space, to “all-on” porcelain bridges (with concealed titanium framework) that are permanently fixed and secured by 4 to 8 implants.

 

THE DIAGNOSTIC PHASE

At the first visit, hi-resolution photos, digital x-rays, a 3D CAT scan and a thorough clinical evaluation will take place followed by expert explanation of the case diagnosis and treatment options. During this visit, impressions are taken (to make the replacement teeth), and a clear financial overview will be presented.

 

THE SURGICAL PHASE

A few days to a few weeks later, the surgery takes place. Under non-IV or IV sedation the extractions, bone grafts (if necessary) and implants are administered. Patients can awaken with removable, or implant secured, “initial” teeth to return home with a beautiful smile. Patients resume a full schedule of activities within 24 to 72 hours. Follow-up visits are 1, 4 and 12 weeks after surgery.

 

THE RESTORATIVE PHASE

When the implants have fully integrated with your jawbone (4 weeks to 4 months later), the restorative phase takes place. During this visit the “final” teeth are placed.
