CONFUSED ABOUT ALL THE DENTAL IMPLANT ADVERTISING YOU SEE ON THE INTERNET? YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Call (713) IMP-LANT
Unfortunately, many "non-surgical" dentists begin to surgically place implants after taking an abbreviated (1-3 day) course on implant surgery. These courses do not prepare the participants to predict, diagnose and treat potential complications for their patient. It's your health and it's important that you ask the right questions of your doctor before proceeding with dental implant surgery.
How long have they been placing implants and how many have they placed in the last year?
What training have they received to handle complications should they arise, or do you have to be referred out to a specialist?
How often do they attend continuing education courses about the specialty of implant surgery?

Houston Implant Dentistry
Complete Upper and Lower Tooth Replacement
They are many "super centers" opening their doors who advertise services such as Teeth-in-a-Day®, Graftless Surgery, All-on-Four®, and other specific surgical techniques all under one roof without the need to wait 3 months for your new teeth. While these procedures are available, the actual number of patients for whom this is the best treatment option, is very limited. When it comes to your health, we feel that quality of your care is much more important than the conveniece.
We believe in the team approach and that Doctors do well what they do often. We want you to receive the best surgical and best restorative care possible. We work closely with many restoring dentists and prosthodontists in the Houston area. Again, what is most important to our surgical specialists, is that our patients receive the best care possible while making it as comfortable and convenient as we can.
At Oral Surgoens of Houston / the Southwest Institute of Dental Implantology, patients with missing upper teeth can find renewed function and appearance with implant-supported upper dentures. This can sometimes be done in as little as one surgical appointment, or may take a few months to ensure you a predictable and long-term result. If you need only a few upper teeth replaced, consider individual implants or an implant-supported bridge. At your consultation, our implant surgeon will evaluate your overall oral health, discuss your goals and lifestyle, and then recommend the best dental implant option. Please feel free to ask questions. Our surgeons understand that this is a big decision and want you to be as informed as possible.
