Missing one tooth or several? Dental implants at Brawley Dental Clinic in La Grange, TX replace missing teeth with a strong, natural-looking result that lets you eat, speak and smile with confidence. We'll walk you through every step and help you decide whether implants are right for you.

More About Dental Implants

Dental implants are small rods that serve as replacement tooth roots. They look a bit like screws and work much the same way. When you lose teeth over time, either due to dental trauma, an oral issue, or simply age, a dental implant can be surgically attached and fused to your jawbone.

The dentist then covers the implant with a dental crown, its shape and color custom made to replicate your natural teeth. After you have time to heal from the procedure, you’ll be able to chew easier, speak more clearly, and brush your teeth more effectively.

Dental implants function the same as your normal teeth, and as long as you keep up with a great routine for dental hygiene, your implants will last for several years!

Benefits of Dental Implants

There are many benefits when it comes to dental implants, including:

  • No food limitations
  • Smile with confidence
  • Prevent bone deterioration
  • Improve oral health
  • Convenient and long-lasting

Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?

Most healthy adults who are missing one or more teeth can be good candidates. Ideal candidates have healthy gums and enough jawbone to support the implant. If you've lost bone after a missing tooth or extraction, a bone graft may be an option. Dr. Brawley will review your health history and X-rays at your consultation and talk through every option with you, including bridges and dentures.

What to Expect: The Implant Process

  1. Consultation: we examine your mouth, take X-rays and build a treatment plan.
  2. Implant placement: we coordinate placement with a trusted specialist, then restore your implant here in our office.
  3. Healing: over the next few months, the implant bonds with your jawbone.
  4. Your new tooth: we attach a custom crown, bridge or denture matched to your natural teeth.

Dental Implant Cost & Insurance

The cost of dental implants depends on how many teeth you're replacing, whether you need an extraction or bone graft first, and the type of restoration. We'll give you a clear estimate before treatment begins and help you understand your insurance benefits. Visit our insurance page or call 979-968-5813 to learn more.

Dental Implant FAQs

How long do dental implants last?

With good brushing, flossing and regular checkups, the implant itself can last for decades. The crown on top may eventually need replacing due to normal wear.

Does getting a dental implant hurt?

The area is fully numbed during the procedure, and sedation is available. Most patients manage any soreness afterward with over-the-counter pain relief.

Can implants replace several missing teeth?

Yes. A few implants can support a bridge or anchor a denture so it stays secure.

Do you offer dental implants near Schulenburg and Flatonia?

Yes. Our La Grange office is a short drive for patients in Schulenburg, Flatonia and across Fayette County.
