Restorative Dentistry
Dental Implants in Irving, TX
A replacement tooth root, fused into the jaw, that holds a crown as securely as the tooth it replaces.
Dental Concepts & Orthodontics places everything from a single implant to a full arch. Implants are the only tooth replacement that keeps the jawbone working — which is why, for most patients, they are the option worth the wait.

Restore Your Smile with a Long-Term Solution
Dental implants are prosthetic tooth roots placed surgically into the jawbone to provide a stable foundation for replacement teeth. Made from biocompatible titanium, they fuse with the bone through a process called osseointegration, giving a strong and lasting base for a crown, a bridge or a denture.
Benefits of Dental Implants
- Natural Appearance Custom-designed to match your own teeth, so the result is seamless.
- Comfort and Stability Fixed in place, with no adhesives and nothing that moves when you do not want it to.
- Better Chewing and Speech Eat what you like and speak without thinking about it.
- Jawbone Preservation Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing the bone loss that follows a missing tooth.
- Long-Term Durability With proper care an implant can last a lifetime, which is what makes it cost-effective over time.
- Adjacent Teeth Left Alone Unlike a traditional bridge, an implant does not lean on the healthy teeth either side.
The Types We Place
Which one suits you depends on how many teeth are missing and how much bone there is to work with.
Single Tooth Implant
One missing tooth replaced with a titanium post and a custom-made crown. It restores chewing and speech, looks natural, and leaves the surrounding teeth untouched.
Implant-Supported Bridge
For several missing teeth in a row. Rather than resting on the adjacent teeth — which weakens them over time — the bridge is carried by implants, so the neighboring teeth are unaffected.
All-on-Four® Dental Implants
Four implants supporting a full arch of teeth. It is less invasive and more affordable than placing an individual implant for every missing tooth, and it gives a secure, permanent result for patients missing all their upper or lower teeth.
Implant-Supported Dentures and Full Arch Bridges
For patients missing most or all of their teeth. Implant-supported dentures anchor to implants in the jaw, so they stay put and prevent bone loss. Full arch bridges are permanently fixed to the implants for patients who would rather avoid anything removable at all.
Mini Dental Implants
Smaller implants for patients without the bone density for conventional ones, or who want something quicker. They can often be placed in a single visit without extensive bone grafting, and they are particularly good at stabilizing a denture.
What to Expect
Implant treatment runs over months rather than weeks, because the fusing to the bone cannot be hurried. Here is the shape of it.
- Initial Consultation X-rays and a comprehensive exam establish your bone volume and gum health, and we design the plan around what we find — single implant, full arch or anything between.
- Implant Placement The implant is placed surgically into your jawbone under local anesthesia.
- Osseointegration Over the following months the implant fuses with the bone, forming the foundation the replacement tooth will sit on.
- Abutment and Crown Once healing is complete, an abutment is attached and your custom crown, bridge or denture is fitted, restoring both function and appearance.
Affordability and Payment
Implant treatment is an investment, and the cost depends on how many implants are needed, the type of restoration on top, and whether anything like bone grafting is required first. We give you a clear written estimate before treatment begins and offer flexible payment plans — see how we handle insurance and financing.

Dental Implants FAQ
- What are dental implants, and how do they work?
- They are prosthetic tooth roots made from biocompatible titanium, placed surgically into the jawbone. They fuse with the bone through osseointegration, which gives a stable foundation for a crown, bridge or denture.
- Am I a good candidate for dental implants?
- Most patients with healthy gums and sufficient jawbone density are. A consultation and X-ray will tell us whether you need anything first, such as bone grafting.
- How long do dental implants last?
- With proper care, an implant can last a lifetime. Regular check-ups, good oral hygiene and not smoking all help.
- Does the procedure hurt?
- Most patients report minimal discomfort during placement, as it is done under local anesthesia. Discomfort afterwards is usually mild and manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.
- How long is the recovery?
- Initial recovery takes about 7 to 10 days, with some swelling and discomfort. Full osseointegration — the implant fusing to the bone — usually takes 3 to 6 months.
- Why choose implants over dentures or a bridge?
- Implants are permanent and stable. Unlike dentures they do not slip, and unlike a bridge they do not rely on the healthy teeth either side, which preserves them.
- Can implants replace several teeth at once?
- Yes. An implant-supported bridge or All-on-Four® can replace multiple teeth or a whole arch.
- What do dental implants cost?
- It varies with the number of implants, the restoration on top and any preparatory work such as bone grafting. We give you a clear estimate at your consultation, and we offer payment plans.
