Dental Implant

Plaque is a sticky bacteria that forms on our teeth. This bacteria attaches to surfaces in the mouth and forms a film on the teeth. In order to keep your teeth and mouth heathy this plaque should be removed regularly. If plaque is not removed the bacteria can accumulate from saliva. The plaque then forms a hard substance that can be white or yellow, and this is called tartar. Plaque and tartar bacteria can damage tooth enamel and lead to cavities.

Tartar builds up along the gum line or in between teeth. Brushing and flossing regularly can help to remove plaque and tartar, but visiting our office for your regular cleaning can ensure all of the buildup is completely removed. If tartar is not removed, over time this could lead to gum disease.

How Can I Prevent Tartar Buildup?

Practicing good oral hygiene habits at home can help prevent plaque and tartar from forming. Gum disease can be prevented by brushing and flossing. We also recommend an antiseptic mouthwash, and regular cleanings in our office to ensure your teeth and mouth are tartar free.

If tartar is not removed it can collect between the gum and teeth and cause periodontitis. This can damage the tissue and bone that holds your teeth in place. Gum disease can cause other more serious health problems if not addressed such as heart disease.

How Can I Manage Plaque and Tartar?

Plaque forms every night and the bacteria feeds on carbs and sugars. The acids can damage your enamel. If you practice good oral hygiene and limit foods and drinks with sugar you can stay on top of plaque and tartar. Visiting our office twice a year for your exam and cleaning can help remove any buildup, and keep your teeth and mouth looking and feeling great.

Are you Interested in Scheduling Your Next Dental Cleaning?

We encourage all patients to visit our office twice a year for their dental exam and cleaning. Our highly skilled staff clean and remove the plaque and tartar buildup on your teeth. We care about your health and ensure you receive the highest level of care. Keeping your teeth and mouth healthy is important, and practicing good oral hygiene habits at home can help prevent tooth decay.

remove coffee stains

Coffee is a popular beverage, and many enjoy that cup or two in the morning each day. The downside to coffee is that it can cause staining on your teeth. There are treatments patients can do at home, or in our office to remove those annoying coffee stains. At Mesquite Dental, we offer many cosmetic dental services, and one of our most popular is teeth whitening treatment.

If you are tired of looking at yellow or stained teeth from coffee, then Mesquite Dental is here to help. Our team provides a detailed consultation process to evaluate your teeth and mouth, and create a customized treatment that will work for you. We will discuss all of your teeth whitening options, and give you tips and tricks on how to keep your teeth white at home.

Why Does Coffee Stain Our Teeth?

Coffee contains tannins, and this helps give coffee that deep flavor and brown color. Our teeth are filled with many little pores, and the tannins tend to stick to our teeth when we drink coffee. Plaque attracts the tannins and those can easily be cleaned away. Stains on the enamel of your teeth will need to be treated with a tooth whitening procedure.

How Can Teeth Whitening Help?

Teeth whitening procedures can be done in our office or in the comfort of your own home. Our treatments use a high-quality gel to whiten your teeth safely, and remove coffee stains. The peroxides in the gel are able to reach through the enamel and bleach the stain away. Teeth whitening can restore your smile, and give you bright white teeth in just a few treatments. Let our team help you transform your teeth and restore your confidence. To find out more about our in-office or at-home whitening services, we encourage you to schedule a cosmetic consultation.

What Can I Do at Home To Prevent Coffee Stains?

  • Drink your coffee through a straw to avoid direct contact with your teeth.
  • Use a whitening toothpaste or mouthwash.
  • Rinse your mouth out or brush your teeth after drinking coffee.
  • Avoid charcoal toothpaste as this can damage your enamel.

Full Mouth Dental Implants In Mesquite

Full mouth dental implants are a very effective way to replace missing teeth while improving your smile and overall oral health. Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone and act as anchors for replacement teeth.

Dental implants can help to preserve the bone in the jaw and prevent deterioration. This is because when you lose a tooth, the surrounding bone begins to shrink. Dental implants can help to stop this process and keep your jawbone healthy.

How Much Do Full Mouth Dental Implants Cost?

The cost of full mouth dental implants can vary on a number of factors.

  • The number of dental implants placed
  • The type of dental prosthesis you want
  • If the final prosthesis is going to be a fixed (all on 4 dental implants ) or removable implant (snap-on-dentures)
  • If you will be needing additional surgical procedures like bone augmentation or sinus lift.
  • If you need more advanced procedures like Zygoma implants.

The cost of full mouth dental implants can vary depending on the prosthesis. For example, snap on dentures range from approximately $10,000 per arch (top or bottom) while a fixed dental prosthesis (all on 4 dental implants) can cost up to $50,000-$60,000. Like any advanced surgical procedure, if additional procedures are needed in order to complete a full mouth reconstruction, then prices will naturally rise accordingly.

All-On-4 Dental Implants Vs. Snap on Dentures

Snap on dentures are supported by 2-4 implants. The number of upper and lower Implants vary depending upon the individual needs for stability, quality of life improvement as well as cost-effectiveness. consideration when selecting which type is best suited towards your personal situation

All on four dental implants use a minimum of 4 dental implants on the upper and lower arch of your mouth, probably more if Dr. George decides you may benefit from having additional implants done for the long term success of your treatment. The best way to review your options is to schedule a consultation. From there, our Mesquite, TX implant dentist, Dr. George, will review your options with you.

Dental implant costs can vary depending on several factors

  • Geographic location
  • Who is placing the implant
  • What kind of dental implant is needed
  • Additional procedures needed for a dental implant

Geographic locations for dental implants

While this may be a small factor in determining how much a dental implant will cost, it is a factor nonetheless. Te cost of getting a dental implant placed in New York, NY will be higher than having one placed in Mexico or Costa Rica. Often times, having dental implants placed in another country will initially have a smaller cost. However, it must be noted that it may be risky to have dental implants placed in another country due to the fact that there may be steps missed in the dental implant process in order to avoid additional trips or appointments. Additionally, they often lack the proper equipment to create same-day dental crowns that are placed on top of the implant. You may end up paying more for additional trips to your appointments or to have the dental implant work redone correctly.

What kind of dental implant is needed

Dental implant costs can also vary depending on which type of dental implant may be needed. You need a single dental implant, multiple dental implants, or you may need full mouth dental implants (full arch implant-supported dentures). Obviously, full mouth dental implants cost more than having one single tooth implant placed. There are a wide variety of scenarios when it comes to determining which tooth replacement options are best for you. If you are only missing one tooth, a dental bridge might be an easy solution to your dental problems. You may discover other options to replace missing teeth, such as traditional dentures. Scheduling an appointment for a consultation with a dentist is the only way you will truly know what options will be best for you. Scheduling an appointment with a dentist will allow you the opportunity to find out important financing information such as additional costs, third-party financing options, in-house payment plans, etc.

Additional procedures like bone grafting or sinus elevation.

During your consultation, you may discover additional procedures that may be needed in order to complete the dental implant procedure. Bone grafts are used when a patient doesn’t have sufficient healthy, natural bones in their mouth that are capable of supporting the dental implant. Bone grafts are used to grow bone around a dental implant device to help stabilize the implant.

 

Sinus elevation, also known as a sinus lift or sinus augmentation, may be needed to add bone tissue to the upper jaw in order to avoid disrupting the sinus cavity with dental implants. This is often done when there’s not enough room to place an implant due to small jaw size.
For example, at Mesquite Dental and Implant Center, the average cost for a single dental implant is approximately $3,100. The cost may be different for a complete full mouth replacement since it depends upon how many dental implants you want to stabilize the dentures. Like on the bottom denture, you can go with a minimum of 2 to 4 or more implants. For that reason, it is very challenging to tell you over the phone what the cost of dental implants will be because we have not seen you yet. Unless we see you and listen to your story & understand what you want, there’s no way to provide an accurate cost.

The real questions you should be asking are...

  • What kind of support will you get when the treatment is completed?
  • Are you going to see the same dentist every time you come to the office?
  • How long has this dentist been placing dental implants, and how long will he/she be there?
  • Is this a private office or a corporate office where you will never be guaranteed to see your favorite dentist after some time?

Final thoughts

Unfortunately, there is no black and white answer when it comes to the total cost of dental implants for healthy teeth. It all depends on your desire on the level of outcome you want and what will be needed to complete the dental implant process.
Dr. George has been a dentist located in Mesquite, TX for over 20 years and founded Mesquite Dental and Implant Center 10 years ago.

right dentist for dental implants

When you decide to invest in dental implants to restore your smile, you want to make sure you find the perfect dentist. Quality dentistry you can count on is important to ensure your implant procedure is successful.


There are many things to look out for when choosing a dentist in your area. Dentists should have proper training and years of experience in implant dentistry. It is important that the dentist you choose is heavily involved in continuing education. This ensures they are staying on top of the latest trends and techniques available in the dental industry. If you need a source or list of dentists in your area, you can visit the American Academy of Implant Dentistry website to locate an implant expert.

What Are Tips To Consider When Choosing My Dentist?

  • Complete research on your own and find out what services your dentist offers, and how many years they have been treating patients.
  • Check on their continuing education experience to ensure your dentist is providing the highest level of care and technology to all patients.
  • Research or ask questions about the dentist’s experience and background on implant dentistry, and how many patients they have treated successfully.
  • Ask friends or neighbors that have had implant surgery, and have them provide feedback on the procedure and recovery process.
  • Look for a full-service practice that can handle the entire process from start to finish. You don’t want to have to visit multiple offices when you are going through an extensive process like dental implant surgery.
  • Talk to your dentist about sedation options and what may work best for you. It is important to feel comfortable about the dental implant process, and your dentist should want to help choose the best option for sedation that works for you.

If you have been recommended for dental implants, you may wonder if they will ever have to be replaced. Implants are a permanent restorative solution for patients seeking that perfect smile. Dental implants look and feel natural in the mouth, and last upwards of 25 years if they are cared for properly.


At Mesquite Dental & Implant Center are one of the most common restorative options done in our dental offices! Many patients are leaning towards this permanent option to give them a durable smile that will last for years. Dental implants can last your entire life, and they are one of the most reliable tooth restoration options available to patients.


However, some patients have asked us if having their teeth cleaned regularly can damage the enamel on our teeth. We hope that this article can help address this common concern.

How Successful Are Dental Implants?

Implants have a 95% success rate, and we encourage patients to use good oral hygiene habits to keep the implants clean and free of plaque. This helps the implants to last, and prevents infection which can make them unstable in the mouth. Implants moving or needing replacement is rare. If an implant shifts out of place this could indicate the bone tissue is not providing enough support, and you should contact our dental office immediately.

TIPS TO ENSURE YOUR DENTAL IMPLANTS LAST A LIFETIME​

Here are some helpful tips that you can start using to get the most out of your dental implants:

  • Floss daily using an implant specific floss or wax free floss to help keep the area clean and free of plaque. A Waterpik Water Flosser can be used to assist in removing plaque around the implants.
  • Use a low abrasive tooth brush such as a soft type brush on your implants.
  • Avoid any products, foods, or drinks containing any ingredients that may stain your teeth.
  • Anti-microbial rinses can be used to help reduce inflammation and prevent infection.
  • Avoid products that contain stannous fluoride, sodium fluoride, or baking soda. These ingredients can make the implants prone to corrosion.

Never hesitate to call the dentist if you have an issue with your tooth. In many cases our team can save your tooth with a restoration before the tooth damage progresses. It is always important to address any issues with your teeth promptly, or more serious complications may develop.

What Are Dental Restorations?

Dental restorations are various ways your dentist can help restore your teeth. If you are missing parts of your tooth, have an injury, or decay, restorations can help restore your tooth and prevent further damage.

During your regular visits our doctor will check for cavities, and make sure we don’t see any serious issues.

What Are the Different Types of Dental Restorations?

There are many filling types from tooth colored composite fillings, to silver amalgam, and composite fillings. Depending on the size of the cavity and location, will determine what type of filling material is used.
  • Crowns: Crowns are a cap that is placed over a tooth. Crowns restore the shape and size of a tooth, and are matched to blend in with your natural teeth. Crown are used with dental implants, or after a root canal to restore the functionality of a tooth.
  • Bridges: Bridges are false teeth and help to bridge the gap for missing teeth. Bridges are used along side crowns, and cement is used to permanently secure the bridge into place.
  • Dental Implants: Dental Implants are similar to a screw that is placed into the jaw. Implants are posts that are made of titanium and attached to a connector or abutment. The implant is then covered with a crown. Implants are permanent and are highly durable, lasting upwards of 15 years.
  • Dentures: Dentures are made of acrylic resin combined with metal and are a removable replacement for missing teeth. If you still have some of your natural teeth, partial dentures can be used to help bridge the gap and give a natural look.

implants time to heal

If you are looking at dental implants and want the process to be quick, then All-On-4 dental implants may be right for you. All-on-4 implants are also known as Teeth in a Day, and can be placed in a single appointment. All-on-4 implants are a fixed denture that is implant supported typically by 4 dental implants.

How Do All-on-4 Dental Implants Work?

All-on-4 dental implants can provide patients with dental implants in just one visit to our office. The implants are strategically placed in the top and bottom of the mouth. The benefit of this type of implant is that an implant is not needed for every tooth, making the process easier compared to traditional implants. All-on-4 dental implants are reliable and can last for years. During the healing process the implants fuse to the bone and this creates a stable base.

How Does the Healing Process Work?

Many patients wonder how the healing process works with All-on-4 implants compared to other options. The good news is the healing time is quicker with All-on-4 compared to traditional implants. Patients should still plan for a few months of healing as the implants fuse to the jawbone. Patients can experience the benefits of implants, and restore their smile in one day.

 

Once the implants are placed, we do recommend a liquid diet as the area heals. Patients can slowly incorporate soft foods into their diet, and be careful while chewing. Gradually patients can add normal foods back into their diet as your mouth heals. Patients are required to return for follow up visits to our office. This ensures the implants are healing properly, and allows our doctors to spot any potential issues. We also want to make sure the implants feel comfortable in the mouth, and listen to feedback our patients have about their new smile.

Interested in Finding Out More About All-On-4 Dental Implants?

If you are ready to take that next step towards a beautiful smile, contact Mesquite Dental & Implant Center.

If you have been using dentures for years and are ready for a change, dental implants may be the perfect solution. You may be wondering if you can switch from dentures to implants, and the good news is that this is an option. Many patients get frustrated with dentures, but in the beginning they were the easier choice. Dentures are easier to get and do not require the recovery time that implants require. Cost is much lower and this attracts patients to dentures.

 

Patients tend to get frustrated with dentures over time, and do not like the slipping or clicking that comes with them. Dentures have to be taken out and cleaned, adding another item to your oral hygiene routine. Over time our faces tend to sag, and dentures do not provide the support that implants do.

Why Should I Switch to Dental Implants?

Dental implants can improve your dental health, and can give you a better quality of life. Implants are permanent and last for years restoring your smile. Patients do not have to worry about slipping or clicking, and can eat the foods they love without worrying their device will fall out. Implants are comfortable and feel like natural teeth. You don’t have to worry about sore spots or raw gums, and patients can feel confident around others.

 

 

Taking care of dental implants is similar to caring for your natural teeth. Following a good oral hygiene routine at home can ensure your dental implants always look and feel great. You will feel like you have your natural teeth again with dental implants.

Is Bone Grafting Needed?

In some cases when patients switch from dentures to implants, they may need a bone graft. Over time your jawbone shrinks, and you may not have enough bone to support the implants. As part of the evaluation, we will check to see if you have sufficient bone in the jaw. If needed bone grafting can be done to provide the support needed prior to you starting the implant process. The recovery period for a bone graft is a few months, and this can vary between patients.

Ready to Find Out More About Switching to Dental Implants?

The majority of patients are great candidates for dental implants, and our team at Mesquite Dental & Implant Center, strives to help patients achieve a smile they love. You don’t have to suffer with dentures, and implants can give you a permanent solution that lasts for years.

 

Our doctors have years of experience in implant dentistry, and we love to help patients achieve the smile of their dreams. Let our team at Mesquite Dental & Implant Center help you start the implant process today!
