Dental Implants in Plano, TX
What Are Dental Implants?
Dedicated to Exceptional Prosthodontic & Implant Care in Plano
A natural tooth consists of a root and a crown. If you compare natural teeth to implant-supported replacement teeth, you’ll see they have the same basic parts. Both have a crown (the visible part used to chew food) and a root that holds the tooth securely under the gum, anchored into the jaw. The difference is that the implant is made of titanium — the same time-tested material surgeons use for artificial joints.
When you lose a tooth, you lose both the root and the crown. Before replacing the crown, the root must first be replaced with a small dental implant. This is how patients in Plano achieve secure, natural-looking teeth implants that restore confidence and function.
How Dental Implants Work – From Placement to Your New Smile
Time is allowed for the bone to heal and grow around the dental implant. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth. A support post (abutment) is then placed on the implant, and a new replacement tooth (crown) is secured on top.
In many cases, a temporary replacement tooth can be attached to the dental implant immediately after it’s placed. For patients missing all of their teeth, Dr. Lakhani provides full-mouth dental implant solutions, including All-on-4 implants in Plano, to create a stable, natural-looking smile.

Surgical Advances & Affordable Dental Implants Plano TX
Recent breakthroughs in dental implant technology have made it easier than ever for patients to regain a complete smile. Single-stage implants often eliminate the need for a second uncovering procedure, though they still require about six weeks of healing before the artificial tooth is placed.
There are even cases where the implant can be placed at the same time as tooth extraction, reducing your number of surgical visits and making the process more efficient and affordable. Our team is proud to offer cost-effective dental implants in Plano TX, ensuring you get high-quality results within your budget.
