Teach Oral Health for Kids & Maintain a Lifetime of Smiling

Rebuild & Rejuvenate Your Smile with Dental Implants in Denton, TX
Over the past decade, dental implants have rapidly become the preferred method of replacing missing teeth. Whether you are missing a single tooth or require replacement teeth for a full arch, dental implants make it possible to smile with complete comfort and confidence. At Southridge Dental in Denton, TX, Dr. Ted Dunson and our team offer implant dentistry solutions that suit your lifestyle while rebuilding your beautiful smile.
Will Dental Implants Work for Me?
A one-on-one consultation with our team of experienced implant dentistry doctors will aid in determining your candidacy for dental implants. If your oral health is in good shape and your jaw possesses sufficient bone density to support implants, it is likely that you are a good candidate for this procedure. Our team will explain the entire process from start to finish so that you fully understand what to expect; we’re always here to answer any questions you may have.
The dental implants process is relatively simple. A biocompatible titanium post will be placed within your jaw where you missing tooth once stood. Osseointegration – the process by which your jaw bone fuses with the implant – will occur over the course of the next 6 to 8 weeks as the soft tissues of your gums heal as well. When this brief recovery period is complete, Dr. Dunson will complete your restoration with a beautiful, custom-crafted crown that blends seamlessly with the rest of your dentition. The result is a completely transformed smile, a stronger bite, and all of the confidence that comes with being able to eat, speak, and laugh with comfort and freedom.
Enjoy a Brand New Smile with Dental Implants
At Southridge Dental, we believe that every patient deserves to reap the full benefits of a gorgeous, healthy smile. Rediscover beautiful form and lasting function with dental implants from Dr. Dunson and our dedicated staff. From your initial consultation and the first steps of the planning process to the day your new restorations are placed, we are here to help you achieve the radiant, confident smile you’ve always wanted.
