Dental Implants
Permanent Tooth Replacement Right Here in Ennis
Dental implants are the closest thing to a natural tooth that modern dentistry can offer. At Hometown Dental in Ennis, we help patients replace missing teeth with implants that look, feel, and function just like the real thing. A small titanium post is placed into the jawbone and acts as a root, supporting a custom crown on top. The result is a permanent, stable tooth that does not shift, slip, or require removal, giving patients a long-term solution they can rely on.
What to Know About Dental Implants
Cost: Implant costs vary based on how many teeth are being replaced and whether any preparatory work is needed. Contact our office for a personalized estimate and to learn about payment options.
Treatment Duration: The implant process takes place over several months to allow the post to fully integrate with your jawbone. Our team will walk you through every phase of treatment.
Comfort: Implant placement is performed under local anesthesia, and most patients report that recovery is more comfortable than they expected. We will give you clear aftercare instructions and are always available to answer questions.
Implants preserve your jawbone, do not require altering neighboring teeth, and can last a lifetime with proper care.
FAQs
Am I a candidate for dental implants? Most adults with good overall health and sufficient jawbone density are good candidates. Our team will evaluate your bone health and gum condition at your consultation.
How long do implants last? With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. The crown on top may need to be replaced after many years of wear, but the implant post itself is designed to be permanent.
Is the implant procedure painful? The surgery is performed with local anesthesia so you will not feel pain during the procedure. Mild soreness and swelling in the days following is normal and manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.
