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.

Dental Implant FAQ
- How many visits does a dental implant take at your Northwest Houston office?
- Typically three to four visits spread over a few months: planning, placement, and the final crown. Healing time between visits does most of the work. We schedule around your routine so each stop is quick.
- Can I get an implant consultation and 3D scan on the same day?
- Yes. Your consultation includes a 3D scan, an honest assessment of whether an implant is right for you, and clear pricing before anything is decided.
- 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 Northwest Houston, 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.
