What Are Dental Implants?
Restoring missing teeth is essential for maintaining both your oral health and the appearance of your smile. To help Benbrook, TX patients replace lost or extracted teeth, our team at Hollywood Dental and Orthodontics offers natural-looking dental implants as a durable solution. A dental implant consists of a titanium post that serves as a replacement for the tooth root while a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is attached to restore the visible part of the tooth (or multiple teeth). If you're dealing with missing teeth or need a tooth extraction, schedule a consultation with Hollywood Dental and Orthodontics to explore your implant options.
How Are Dental Implant Treatments Performed?
Dental implant treatments at Hollywood Dental and Orthodontics are typically done in two stages. The first stage involves placing a titanium post into the jawbone, which acts as the tooth's root. If you've experienced jawbone loss due to gum disease or atrophy, we may first need to perform a bone graft to provide support for your jaw. This procedure adds bone material to areas where the jaw has weakened, creating a strong foundation for the implant. Patients with insufficient bone can still qualify for implants after the grafting process is complete.
Once the implant is placed, the bone heals around the post in a process called osseointegration, which can take several months. Mild discomfort is expected during recovery, but most patients find the procedure to be less painful than anticipated. Once the healing period is complete, you'll return to our dental office in Benbrook, TX so we can attach the custom crown, bridge, or denture, restoring both the appearance and function of the missing tooth.
What Are the Benefits of Dental Implants?
Dental implants offer many benefits for patients in Benbrook, TX looking to replace lost or extracted teeth, including:
- Doesn't depend on neighboring teeth for support
- Provides a durable and long-term replacement for missing teeth
- Promotes jawbone health by fusing with the bone
- Offers a natural look and feel, blending seamlessly with your existing teeth
- Improves confidence when speaking and smiling
- Enhances stability and chewing power
- Gives patients the ability to enjoy a varied, balanced diet with comfort
If you need dental implants for medical reasons — such as replacing a tooth lost in an accident — it may be partially covered by your insurance plan. We invite you to contact our friendly team at Hollywood Dental and Orthodontics to discuss the potential cost of your dental implant treatment and the details of your insurance policy.

I have been going to this office for over a year. The new staff Dr.El, Synthia & Edgar are a breath of fresh air. Synthia is bright, welcoming and friendly! She is efficient and responds to questions quickly. Making appointments with her is a breeze. She also assisted me with finding a more affordable appointment for my oral surgery. Dr. El is super knowledgeable, friendly and encourages the best oral health for her patients. I recently had all 4 wisdom teeth taken out and although she did not do the procedure she gave me ease of mind with post and pre op instructions. Edgar is friendly and makes X-rays and set up for cleanings go smoothly! I will continue going here and wish the best success for the team and future patients.
