What’s the success rate for dental implants?

My smile is only missing a few teeth. Why should I choose dental implants?
Even one missing tooth compromises dental appearance, comfort, and function. An incomplete smile can cause existing teeth to drift out of position, promote jawbone loss, and contribute to poor oral and overall health. Studies show that if a missing tooth isn’t replaced, up to 20% of neighboring teeth will be lost in the next 4 to 8 years. Dental implants restored by Dallas implant dentist Dr. Hucklebridge create beautiful, youthful-looking smiles. This proven restorative solution delivers unsurpassed longevity and looks and feels completely natural. We encourage you to call today to reserve your consultation with Dr. Hucklebridge and get started on your fantastic new smile!
I’ve heard of replacement teeth in a day. Is this possible?
Using the All-on-Four dental implants procedure, Dr. Hucklebridge and his team perform implant surgery and give patients temporary replacement teeth the same day. After your jawbone heals and the bone fuses with the implant posts, you’ll return to our office to receive permanent replacement teeth. Call today to see if the All-on-Four dental implants procedure from Plano Smile Studio is right for you.
I have loose dentures. Can Dr. Hucklebridge help?
Yes! Loose dentures are embarrassing and can cause you to shy away from friends and family. Eating becomes uncomfortable, and speech indistinct. Over time, jaws with missing teeth lose density, causing dentures, especially the lower one, to lose their secure fit. Dr. Hucklebridge combats this problem with dental implants. Implant-retained dentures hold replacement teeth securely in place, eliminating slippage and restoring a comfortable fit. Call to schedule your implant-retained dentures consultation today.
What types of implants does Dr. Hucklebridge use?
As a leader in implant dentistry, Dr. Hucklebridge works with several leaders in the field of dental implant technology, including Nobel Biocare, Straumann, and Lifecore, to name a few. We want what’s best for our patients, and we’ll select implants from the system that best serves you and your unique needs. Learn more at your Dallas dental implants consultation.

They trust his skill and experience and respect his reputation as a leading Dallas cosmetic and implant dentist. To accommodate our out-of-town clients, we gladly assist with hotel, transportation, and travel arrangements. Call today, and a friendly member of our staff will be happy to help you.
Does Dr. Hucklebridge use CT scanning technology?
Yes. Your Dallas dental implant practitioner utilizes state-of-the-art CT scanning equipment to assess bone size and precisely plan implant placement.

Dr. Hucklebridge relies on leading-edge technology and his advanced training and experience in the field of implant dentistry to personalize treatment for every patient and create strong, beautiful smiles. Call to learn more.
How do I care for my dental implants?
