What Happens to Your Jaw After a Tooth Is Lost
A tooth root stimulates the jawbone that holds it. When you lose a tooth, that part of the jaw can begin to deteriorate, and the teeth on either side can drift into the gap.
Bridges and dentures, the other two options we offer for replacing missing teeth, restore only the visible part of a tooth. An implant also replaces the root with a titanium post that anchors the new tooth and gives the jawbone the stimulation it needs.
Dental Implants in Plano, TX: Planned and Placed in One Office
Dr. Hardin is a Fellow in Implant Dentistry through Implant Pathway's Dental Implant Continuum, so we plan and place implant cases at our family dental clinic in Plano, TX, rather than referring them out. The practice is rated 4.9 stars across 400+ Google reviews, and implant cases use the following dental technology and comfort options:
CT/cone beam scan.
The scanner captures hundreds of images and combines them into a 3D model of your bone, nerve pathways, and soft tissue for treatment planning.
Medit i700 digital impressions.
A quick scan of your teeth and gums replaces impression putty and is used to design your custom restoration.
Intraoral camera.
Photos of your teeth and gums appear on a chairside monitor, so you can see what Dr. Hardin sees as he explains your options.
Sedation options.
Nitrous oxide or oral conscious sedation is available if you feel anxious about treatment.
What Our Patients Say
Reviews From Plano Families
Your Implant Visits, From Consultation to Restoration
01
1. Consultation and planning.
Dr. Hardin examines your mouth, evaluates your oral health, and uses your CT/cone beam scan to plan placement. If your gums or jawbone need treatment first, a bone graft or other preliminary procedure is completed before surgery is scheduled.
02
2. Placement.
After a local anesthetic numbs the area, Dr. Hardin places each post in the jawbone in its planned position. The gums are then closed, and a protective cap covers each post while it heals.
03
3. Healing.
Over about three to six months, the post fuses with the jawbone. This process, called osseointegration, is a major reason implants have a high success rate.
04
4. Abutment and restoration.
A connector called an abutment is attached to each post, and digital impressions are taken for your custom crown, bridge, or denture. When it is ready, the restoration is attached to the abutments.

One Tooth, Several Teeth, or All Your Teeth
Implants can be a good fit for adults who are healthy enough for minor surgery, have no ongoing gum disease, and can keep up good oral hygiene at home. The number of posts depends on how many teeth are missing.
| Situation | Typical implant option | Result |
|---|---|---|
| One missing tooth | One post and a custom crown | The crown can be made to match the color and light-reflecting qualities of your enamel |
| Three or more missing teeth in a row | Two posts supporting an implant bridge | No enamel is removed from the neighboring teeth |
| All of your teeth | Dentures supported by a strategic number of posts, usually four to eight | The posts help keep the denture from slipping |
If a damaged tooth needs to come out first, our team handles tooth extractions in the same office.
Paying for Implants With or Without Insurance
At your consultation, you receive an estimate based on how many teeth need to be replaced and whether a bone graft or other preliminary procedure is needed.
We accept a wide range of PPO plans, verify your benefits, and file claims for you. New patients also get a written breakdown of what insurance covers before any treatment is scheduled. About 35% of our patients do not have dental insurance. Insured or not, you can spread treatment costs over time with CareCredit, Cherry, Sunbit, or our interest-free in-house financing.
After treatment, implants still need regular checkups. For patients without insurance, our In-House Membership Plan costs $40 per month per person and covers two exams, two professional cleanings, and two sets of X-rays a year. Visits every six months help catch small problems before they threaten your implants.

Dental Implant FAQs for Plano Patients
Do I need an oral surgeon, or can a general dentist in Plano place my implants?
A general dentist with implant training can place implants. Dr. Hardin, a Fellow in Implant Dentistry, places and restores implants in our Coit Rd office, so you do not need a referral to an outside specialist. Your consultation will show whether you are ready for implant surgery or need a bone graft first.
How long does treatment take, and do you offer evening or Saturday appointments?
Treatment follows four stages: consultation and planning, implant placement, healing, and the final restoration. Healing alone takes about three to six months. We see patients until 6:00 pm on Thursdays and every other Saturday morning, which can make appointments easier to fit around work.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, implants often last several decades. The two most common causes of failure are peri-implantitis, an infection around the implant, and failed osseointegration. Brushing twice a day, flossing daily, avoiding tobacco, keeping six-month checkups, and wearing a nightguard if you grind all help protect your implants.
Am I too old for implants, and can I get them if I smoke?
There is no upper age limit. Candidacy depends on your jawbone density, your gum health, and your habits at home. Smokers have a higher failure rate, and tobacco use may rule implants out. If you go ahead with implants, you will need to stop smoking for at least two weeks before surgery and two months after.
Will I need time off work after implant surgery?
You will likely need some time off. The number of days depends on how many implants are placed and how physically demanding your job is. Dr. Hardin can discuss what to expect at your consultation, so you can plan time away from work before surgery is scheduled.
