Bellaire Modern Dental helps patients explore options for replacing missing teeth. Options may include a single implant, an implant-supported restoration, or full-arch treatment after an individual evaluation.
Dr. L.T. Johnson places dental implants and performs All-on-4 surgery at Bellaire Modern Dental. For a single implant, Dr. Isatu Munu or Dr. Ernesto Escobar plans the restorative position and provides the final crown. Dr. Munu leads the prosthodontic work for full-arch treatment.
At a consultation, the team reviews your teeth and gums, bone height and width, soft tissue, oral hygiene, and the space available for a restoration. CT imaging helps guide implant planning. The team discusses treatment options, risks, and timing before recommending a plan.
Can I receive an implant right after an extraction? Sometimes. Dr. Johnson checks the available bone and the condition of the extraction site. If immediate placement is not appropriate, a graft and a later implant may be recommended. Healing time varies by patient and site.
How does full-arch treatment work here? Dr. Johnson performs the surgery and places the implants. Dr. Munu and the prosthodontic team plan and place the teeth. Temporary teeth may be attached on the day of surgery when implant stability allows. The final restoration is planned after healing and an evaluation of the smile and soft tissues, commonly several months later.
What if I am not a candidate? A bridge, denture, or another treatment may be a better fit. The team will explain the available choices after an examination.
