Dental Implants

Dental implants are artificial roots placed in the jaw to secure replacement teeth. They are made of surgical grade titanium, are shaped like the root of your tooth, and are placed in the jaws to support one or more replacement. This modern dental solution is ideal for patients who have good oral health and want a strong, complete, worry-free smile. Dr. Ragnell is a highly trained implant dentist with a wealth of experience in placing and restoring dental implants. Because Dr. Ragnell is highly trained in both the placement and restoration of dental implants, he can perform your entire smile transformation in our Plano office. No need to recruit multiple dental teams for your procedure--we provide the entire implant process in house for your convenience, comfort, and care.

Dental implants are an attractive alternative to other prosthetics and provide a completely natural look and feel. With proper care, they may last a lifetime. Dr. Ragnell places dental implants to restore one or many missing teeth. Due to his advanced training, he can replace as many as 12 to 14 teeth in the upper or lower jaw using as few as 4 implants, also referred to as the "All on Four" technique. If you want to renew your incomplete smile or secure an upper or lower denture, dental implants may the right solution for you.

Advantages of Dental Implants

Because the quality of adjacent teeth isn’t sacrificed with dental implants, more of your natural tooth structure remains untouched, which benefits overall oral health. In addition, dental implants look and feel like real teeth. They also deter bone loss. The success rate for implants are as high as 98%.

Dental Implant Options

Using advanced implant technology, Dr. Ragnell can:

  • Replace a missing tooth with one implant topped with an implant crown
  • Insert as few as five implants to replace several missing teeth and support up to a dozen or more replacement teeth
  • Support bridges that replace all of your teeth (implant-retained dentures)
  • Raise the sinus floor and augment with bone grafting to increase jawbone mass and prepare mouths to receive implants
  • Eliminate deformities in the upper and lower jaw that deter implant placement

Implant-Retained Dentures

Dentures secured with dental implants provide innumerable benefits. You won’t need adhesive to keep your teeth in place, and you’ll never experience slippage. Eat what you want, laugh out loud, and smile with confidence – your smile will remain strong and secure. Dental implants stop the jawbone atrophy that occurs when teeth are missing to maintain a healthy jaw that provides structure for facial skin and muscles, resulting in a more youthful appearance.

The Implant Process

Dr. Ragnell will assess your oral health and examine your mouth to assess your candidacy for implants. If dental implants are right for you, the doctor will perform any necessary grafting or augmentation procedures, then surgically place your dental implants in the sockets left by missing teeth. He utilizes leading-edge i-CAT cone beam scanning technology and surgical guide fabrication to ensure precise placement. After your jawbone fuses with the posts, Dr. Ragnell will affix your custom replacement teeth to beautifully renew your smile.
