A Natural Look and Feel
An implant-supported tooth looks, feels, and functions like a real one, so most people forget it's even there.
Missing a tooth and tired of working around it? For Galleria and Uptown professionals, a dental implant is the closest thing to getting your natural tooth back. It looks, feels, and works like your own, so you can smile in a meeting or bite into lunch without a second thought. We plan every implant digitally for a result that fits your face and your life.
A dental implant is a small titanium post that replaces the root of a missing tooth. Once placed in the jaw, it fuses with the bone over time, creating a sturdy foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture on top. Because the implant integrates with your bone, it functions like a natural tooth root, holding the replacement tooth firmly in place. Unlike removable options, an implant stays put, looks natural, and helps preserve the jawbone underneath.
An implant-supported tooth looks, feels, and functions like a real one, so most people forget it's even there.
Because it replaces the root, an implant stimulates the bone and helps prevent the bone loss that follows missing teeth.
With good care, implants can last for decades, often making them the most durable tooth-replacement option available.
Firmly anchored in the jaw, an implant won't slip or shift, so you can enjoy any food and speak clearly.
From your first exam to the final result, here's exactly what to expect — calm, clear, and never rushed.
Book a ConsultationDr. Tatari or Dr. Ebrahimi examines the area, reviews detailed imaging, and maps out exactly where your implant will go.
We gently place the titanium post into the jawbone during a comfortable procedure, with numbing and sedation options available throughout.
Over the next few months, the implant fuses with your bone, creating the strong, stable foundation your new tooth needs.
Once healed, we attach a small connector to the implant that will hold your custom crown securely in place.
We attach a custom crown, color-matched to your teeth, and adjust your bite until everything looks and feels natural.
Whether you've lost a single tooth or several, implants can replace them individually or support a bridge or denture.
A tooth too damaged to save can be removed and replaced with an implant for a permanent solution.
If a denture slips or feels bulky, implants can anchor it securely or replace it altogether.
Implants work best with healthy gums and adequate bone, which we'll check at your consultation.
Bridges and dentures both replace missing teeth, but they sit on top of the gums or lean on neighboring teeth for support. Implants are different: they replace the tooth root itself, so they stay put, help preserve the jawbone, and don't rely on the teeth around them. Here's how the three options compare, so you can see why implants are often the most natural-feeling and longest-lasting choice.
| Factor | Dentures | Bridges | Recommended Dental Implants |
|---|---|---|---|
| Replaces the tooth root? | No | No | Yes |
| Stays in place | Removable, can shift | Fixed in place | Fixed in place |
| Neighboring teeth | Rests on the gums | Files down healthy teeth for support | Stands on its own, no impact |
| Protects the jawbone | Does not prevent bone loss | Does not prevent bone loss | Stimulates and preserves bone |
| Look and feel | Can feel bulky | Looks and feels natural | Looks and feels like a natural tooth |
| Longevity | 5 to 10 years | 10 to 15 years | Decades, often a lifetime |
| Daily care | Remove and clean daily | Brush and floss carefully | Brush and floss like natural teeth |

Most implants happen in stages over a few months, since the post needs time to fuse with the bone before the final crown goes on. We map the full timeline at your first visit so there are no surprises, and we keep the appointments quick and convenient for a busy Uptown schedule.
For many patients, yes. An implant replaces the root as well as the tooth, so it protects the bone and does not rely on grinding down the healthy teeth next door. We will walk you through both options honestly and help you choose what fits your smile and budget.
It starts with a consultation, and most new patients can be seen within the same week. From there, we plan a timeline that fits your needs. Book online to begin.
With good care, implants often last decades, and many last a lifetime. Dr. Ebrahimi or Dr. Tatari will check yours at your routine visits.
One of the best things about implants is how easy they are to care for. You brush and floss around them just like natural teeth and keep up with your regular cleanings and checkups. With that simple routine, an implant can last for decades. We'll show you exactly how to care for your new tooth and keep an eye on it at every visit, so it stays healthy for the long run.
Most patients are surprised by how comfortable it is. The area is fully numbed, sedation is available, and any soreness afterward is usually mild and short-lived.
Cost depends on how many implants you need and the restoration on top. Many plans cover part of it, and we offer financing through CareCredit, Sunbit, and Affirm.
Because the implant needs time to fuse with the bone, the full process often takes a few months. We'll give you a clear timeline at your consultation.
