Dental Implants
Permanent Tooth Replacement with
Dental Implants
Missing teeth can affect how you eat, speak, and feel about your smile. When considering dental implants, it is important to choose a provider who takes the time to evaluate your overall oral health before recommending treatment.
At Comeaux & Stonestreet Dental Group, implant care focuses on careful diagnosis, long-term health, and the preservation of natural teeth whenever possible. Our philosophy is conservative and ethical. We recommend treatment only after a complete evaluation and open discussion.
We are known for being comprehensive. A new patient visit typically lasts about 90 minutes. Necessary digital imaging and a complete exam allow us to evaluate your entire mouth. We do not focus on just one missing tooth. We look at your bite, bone levels, gum health, and overall condition before planning a tooth implant procedure . High-quality dental care requires time, careful diagnosis, and clear communication.

Why Careful
Planning Matters
Tooth loss affects more than appearance. When a tooth is missing, the surrounding teeth may shift, and the jawbone in that area can change over time. Replacing a missing tooth with a stable solution can help maintain balance in the mouth. Treatments such as dental implants and advanced planning with the iTero digital scanner help support long-term oral function and stability. Factors that may increase the need for dental implant treatment include:
Untreated cavities
Gum disease
Injury or trauma
Fractured teeth
Older restorations that have failed
Older restorations that have failed

Frequently
Asked Questions
What is involved in a tooth implant procedure?
A tooth implant procedure includes diagnostic imaging, surgical placement of the implant, a healing period, and final restoration. Each step is carefully planned to support proper healing and long-term stability.
Are dental implants considered permanent tooth replacement?
Dental implants are often described as a permanent tooth replacement because they are fixed in the jawbone. Their longevity depends on oral hygiene, routine dental visits, and overall health.
What are implant-supported crowns?
Implant-supported crowns are custom-made restorations that attach to a dental implant. They are designed to blend with surrounding teeth in shape and color.
When are full mouth dental implants considered?
Full-mouth dental implants may be considered when most or all teeth are missing or severely compromised. A detailed exam and imaging are required to determine whether this option is appropriate.
