What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. At Houston Prosthodontic Specialists, we provide advanced implant dentistry tailored to your individual needs. Implants are small titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots. They support restorations like crowns, bridges, or dentures for a natural look and long-term function.
Patients in Memorial, Houston and surrounding neighborhoods choose implants because they:
- Restore the natural appearance of your smile
- Prevent bone loss caused by missing teeth
- Offer unmatched durability and stability
- Require no special maintenance beyond brushing and flossing
- Improve speaking and chewing ability
We’re proud to offer a wide range of implant options, supported by our in-house lab and cutting-edge dental technology.
Types of Dental Implant Solutions We Offer
Whether you're missing one tooth or need full arch restoration, our team will guide you toward the best implant option based on your goals, health, and budget.
Traditional Dental Implants
Ideal for single or multiple missing teeth. A titanium post is placed and topped with a custom crown for seamless aesthetics.
All-on-Four Dental Implants
A full arch of teeth is secured using just four strategically placed implants. This solution is ideal for patients with extensive tooth loss. Learn more about All-on-4s.
Implant Supported Dentures
Unlike conventional dentures, these snap securely onto implants for enhanced comfort and bite strength. Learn more about Implant Supported Dentures.
Computer-Guided Implants
We use advanced imaging to precisely place implants, increasing the success rate and shortening recovery time.
Dental Implant Restoration
If you already have implants but need replacement crowns or repair, our prosthodontists can restore your smile's function and appearance.
Implant Overdentures
Removable dentures anchored by implants provide a stable fit while remaining easy to clean and maintain.
Mini Dental Implants
These smaller implants are a great choice for patients with less bone density or those looking for a minimally invasive alternative.
