What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is a small, biocompatible titanium post that's placed in your jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Once it heals, it's topped with a custom crown, bridge, or denture, creating a strong, stable, natural-looking replacement. Unlike other options, implants replace the entire tooth, root and all, which helps preserve your jawbone and keeps neighboring teeth intact. At Lava Dental, we offer everything from single-tooth implants to full-arch solutions, all planned with precision and care.

When Do You Need Dental Implants in Highland Heights, TX?

Notice any of these? Schedule a visit. Early care is easier care.

Missing Tooth

A single missing tooth can be replaced with an implant that looks and works just like the one you lost.

Several Gaps

Multiple missing teeth can be restored with implant-supported bridges for a stable, natural result.

Loose Dentures

If your dentures slip or feel uncomfortable, implants can anchor them securely for a confident, stable fit.

Failing Tooth

A tooth too damaged to save can be replaced with an implant, often in coordination with a gentle extraction.

I had an amazing experience at Lava Dental! From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming. They took the time to answer all of my questions and never made me feel rushed. I brought all of my children, and two of my children have special needs, so it means a lot to me when a dental office takes the time to understand their individual needs and makes them feel comfortable. Lava Dental did exactly that! They were patient, gentle, caring, and very detailed with each of my children. They treated every child with kindness and made sure they understood what was happening. I truly appreciate the time, patience, and compassion the entire team showed my family. They made what can sometimes be a stressful experience feel comfortable and positive. Thank you, Lava Dental, for taking such great care of my children and making us feel welcomed and valued. We truly appreciate you! ❤️🦷

I had a terrible tooth pain that was unbearable. I called many places and found Lava Dental on my browser. It was late in the day and they fit me in for a same day appointment. The staff were super friendly and listened to my concerns. I was seen immediately and explained in detail on what I had and the solutions. Dr. Ebrahimi was super gentle and fast. She's a true master of her profession. I was in and out quickly. I had a wisdom tooth removed; it was quick and, most importantly, painless. I want to thank Sylvia, Orlando, and Dr. Ebrahimi for their prompt assistance and warm hospitality. They were able to quickly provide a painless resolution to my problem. I would highly recommend this dental office.

Dr. Milad Balaei is truly one of the best dentists I've ever experienced. From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed and comfortable. He is incredibly professional, patient, and detail-oriented, making sure everything is done perfectly and pain-free. He takes the time to explain every step, which builds so much trust and confidence. The results are always amazing, and you can tell he genuinely cares about his patients. If you're looking for a skilled, honest, and caring dentist, I highly recommend Dr. Balaei

So far, my experience with Lava Dental has been great. I arrived feeling nervous and anxious about my teeth, but the staff was incredibly welcoming and friendly, which immediately put me at ease. I had an extraction done, and the process was quick and far less unpleasant than I expected.

Dental Implant FAQ

Does getting a dental implant hurt?
Most patients say placement was easier than the extraction that came before it. The area is fully numbed, sedation is available if you are nervous, and soreness afterward usually fades within a few days.
I've been missing a tooth for years. Is it too late for an implant?
Usually not. Even long-standing gaps can often be restored, sometimes with a little bone support first. Come in and we will give you an honest answer about your options.
How long does getting dental implants take?
The full implant process usually spans a few months, since the implant needs time to fuse with your jawbone before the final tooth is placed. We can begin your dental implants in Highland Heights, TX, with a consultation this week.
How much do dental implants cost?
The cost depends on how many implants you need and whether any preparatory work, like bone grafting, is required, and we offer financing to help. Our team will review the full price and your options with you before treatment begins.
Does Lava Dental take my insurance?
Many dental plans now cover part of implant treatment, though coverage varies. We accept most major PPO plans and Medicaid, offer financing, and our team is glad to verify your benefits and explain your options first.
Do dental implants hurt?
Implant placement is done under anesthesia and is comfortable for most patients, with sedation available if you'd like. Any soreness afterward is usually mild and managed easily with over-the-counter pain relief.
How long do dental implants last?
With good oral hygiene and regular checkups, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them one of the most durable tooth-replacement options. Dr. Tatari will share simple care tips to protect your investment.
Is Lava Dental actually in Highland Heights?
Yes, we're on Antoine Drive near Pinemont, inside the 77091 zip. Most neighbors are about five minutes from our front door, and plenty just walk over.
Do you see kids and whole families?
All ages, every day, from first baby teeth to dentures. Booking the whole family back-to-back is a neighborhood favorite.
What if I haven't seen a dentist in years?
You'll get zero judgment here. We'll take it one step at a time: a gentle exam, clear photos of what we see, and an honest conversation about what actually needs attention (and what doesn't).
