Built From The Root Up, To Last
The Difference Starts Beneath The Surface
Missing teeth changes more than your smile. Eating becomes harder. Speaking can feel different. You may even start avoiding certain foods or situations. With dental implants, Dr. Cornelius, Dr. Geurkink, and Dr. Bustos give you a way to get back to what feels normal. A stable, long-term solution that replaces both the tooth and the root so your smile works the way it should again.
A Solution That Works
When a tooth is missing, the problem does not stay in one place. The surrounding teeth begin to shift. The jawbone starts to shrink. Over time, things feel less stable. Dental implants address the full picture, not just the gap. They are designed to:
- Replace missing teeth from the root up
- Keep your bite stable and balanced
- Help maintain your jawbone over time
- Let you eat and speak without second-guessing
This is why many patients in Keller choose dental implants when they want something that feels reliable day to day.
The Steps Behind A Successful Implant
We keep the process clear so you always know what to expect. Each step is planned around long-term success, not just a quick fix.
- Consultation and planning: We assess your oral health, take imaging, and determine if implants are the right fit for you.
- Implant placement: A small titanium post is placed in the jawbone where the tooth is missing.
- Healing period: Over the next few months, the implant integrates with your bone to create a stable base.
- Final restoration: A custom crown, bridge, or denture is attached, restoring function and appearance.
Different Situations. Different Solutions.
Depending on your needs, we offer you different options:
- Single Tooth Implants: Replace one missing tooth without affecting the surrounding teeth.
- Implant-Supported Bridges: Replace multiple teeth with fewer implants while keeping everything stable.
- Full Arch Implants: Restore a full set of teeth using a small number of implants for support.
- Same-Day Implants: In some cases, a temporary tooth can be placed the same day as your implant.
- Bone Grafting: If the jawbone needs more support, we can rebuild the area to prepare for implants.
