Houston Dental Implants

Dental implants are the ideal solution if you are missing teeth. Whether you are missing only one or several teeth, dental implants are becoming the standard of care. Dental implants look and feel just like your natural teeth, and they will also provide the same level of functionality as your natural teeth.

Why Coleman Dental?

At Coleman Dental, our Houston-based office is a one-stop shop for all things dental implants. We can perform the whole procedure from diagnosis to placing the implants to placing the crown, bridge, or denture right in our office. At your dental implant appointment, we will use our cone beam CT scanner to understand your teeth and determine the best placement of the implants. Dr. Coleman has also created a surgical guide so the actual placement of each implant in his patient’s jaw is precisely where it needs to be and at the correct angle. Further, if a patient requires a bone graft or sinus lift, Dr. Coleman can perform this procedure in-house for comfort and convenience.

Dr. Coleman goes above and beyond to ensure his patients have the best coleman dental experience possible. With almost 40 years of dental experience, accreditations, and research, Dr. Coleman’s coleman dental expertise results in beautiful and functional restorations.

What is a Dental Implant?

Dental implants are innovative tooth replacement solutions that provide a natural-looking and durable alternative to missing teeth. They involve the surgical placement of a titanium post into the jawbone, which acts as a strong foundation for various restoration options.

Implants can replace a single tooth by attaching a customized crown to the implant, mimicking the appearance and function of a natural tooth. This single-tooth replacement ensures a seamless and aesthetic result.

In cases where multiple adjacent teeth are missing, dental implants can support an implant-secured bridge. This involves placing implants at strategic locations and attaching a bridge to these implants, effectively filling the gap left by the missing teeth. Implant-supported bridges provide stability, comfort, and improved chewing function.

For individuals missing an entire arch of teeth, implant dentures offer a reliable and long-lasting solution. Dental implants are strategically placed in the jawbone, and a full arch of prosthetic teeth is securely attached to these implants. Implant dentures provide exceptional stability and eliminate the need for adhesives or worries about dentures slipping or shifting.

Whether replacing a single tooth, multiple teeth, or an entire arch, dental implants offer versatility and customizable options to suit individual needs. They provide patients with functional, aesthetically pleasing, and reliable solutions for restoring their smiles and oral health.

How Does a Dental Implant Function?

The titanium post fuses to the jaw bone in a process called osseointegration. In order to defy the stresses of tooth function, the implant needs to integrate solidly with the bone. If osseointegration is incomplete and pressure is placed on the unsteady implant, it could become loose and fail. One advantage of receiving an implant is the prevention of bone resorption. When the implant is in place, it sends a signal to the bone that prevents resorption that would otherwise take place if the tooth was missing.

Dr. Coleman has expertise in both the surgical and restorative phases. This is an added bonus for the patient because it is common for miscommunication to occur when multiple dentists, surgeons, or specialists are involved. Dr. Coleman takes care of it all!

Dr. Coleman is also committed to staying at the forefront of implant technology. He has 3-D CT scanning capabilities in the office, which give him a complete picture of the location of nerves, blood vessels, sinus cavities, and jaw bone density. This state-of-the-art technology further reduces the risk of complications in surgical placement. The best part is that it can all be done in the comfort of the coleman Dental office!

Experience Matters When it Comes to Dental Implants

Most patients need to realize that implant dentistry is not a recognized specialty area within dentistry. This means that any dentist can legally perform dental implants without additional training beyond dental school. However, performing these procedures correctly requires extensive post-graduate study. Review the dentist’s credentials, training, and track record when selecting an implant dentist.

Dr. Coleman's Extensive Qualifications

Dr. Coleman has extensive training and experience with both parts of the dental implant procedure, from the surgical placement of the implant to restoring the crown. Dr. Coleman earned Fellowship status with the International Congress of Oral Implantologists. Fellowship in the ICOI requires completing over 75 hours of implant dentistry post-graduate training, at least 20 case reviews of dental implant patients, and letters of recommendation from other experts in the implant dentistry field.

What are the Advantages of Dental Implants?

There are many benefits to choosing dental implants, including:

  • Durability
  • Permanent solution for missing teeth
  • Functionality
  • Natural appearance
  • Work well with dentures
  • May replace the need for crowns 
  • Prevents bone loss

Disadvantages of Dental Implants

  • The procedure may take up to six months because healing must transpire before the crown is implemented.
  • Dental implants are less cost-effective than other tooth replacement options. However, we will present your options and work together to develop the right treatment plan for your unique situation.
  • If you are missing a single tooth, and the teeth on either side need crowns anyway, doing a bridge may make more sense than placing an implant.

How much does a tooth implant cost?

Dental implants have long-term costs, including oral hygiene maintenance and potential complications. However, they offer advantages like preserving adjacent teeth, longevity, improved oral health, and better aesthetics. Compared to doing nothing, implants prevent oral health deterioration, functional limitations, and psychological effects. They are an investment in long-term oral health, quality of life, and potential monetary savings due to their durability.

I can’t emphasize enough how wonderful Dr. Coleman and his staff are. I have been a patient for many decades, and sometimes it’s easy to become accustomed to great service and forget just how great the experience truly is. I was out of the city for about 9 years, so I do have experience with other dentists. I can say without reservation that Dr. Coleman is passionate about his work, extremely knowledgeable and up to date with the latest in dentistry, and has a great, caring bedside manor. He clearly puts his patients first, and has always been there for me - even after hours. This past year, I needed some major reconstructive cosmetic dental work, and Dr. Coleman truly delivered. He put in the extra time and effort to meet my needs for detail. My smile looks better than it ever has, and the health of my teeth and gums is the best it has been. A doctor is only as good as his assistants, and Lisa and Laurie are always so pleasant, attentive, and caring. The office is clean and comfortable. For all of these reasons, I will continue going to Dr. Coleman for as long as possible and will continue to recommend him to my family, friends, and those in need of a great dentist!

Dr. Coleman has the reputation of being the best dentist in Houston… He lives up to his reputation and exceeds expectations every visit. On top of being the very best, he is calming, non-judgmental, and overall one of the nicest people. Lisa is absolutely wonderful - she is the BEST at what she does and one of the nicest people on the planet. I smile just seeing Lisa. Catherine & Laurie are great too! Catherine does an excellent job of cleaning your teeth and is very gentle. I cannot say enough great things about Coleman Dental. It’s the only place I feel comfortable going to and I’ve tried other places. Don’t walk, run to Coleman Dental for your pearly whites!

I am pleased to offer this referral for Dr. Scott Coleman and his staff. I have been a satisfied patient of Dr. Scott Coleman since 1990. During that time I’ve become a huge fan of everyone at Coleman Dental. From the office manager Laurie to Catherine the superstar hygienist who make my smile pretty and Lisa who assure that Scott does his job properly while I’m in the chair 😂 Truly the dental group with a heart!! Thanks for taking such good care of me and my family throughout the years!!
