Sleep Apnea, A Worry of The Past. Learn more!
Dental implants are a popular and effective solution for those who are missing one or more teeth. They are designed to look and function just like natural teeth and are a more permanent and secure option than traditional dentures or bridges. At Artaza Dental, Dr. Hugo Artaza expertly uses robotics to place dental implants with precision and for better results for the patient.
Dental implants are a fantastic option for anyone who is missing one or more teeth. Here’s how they work: first, a small anchor, also known as a post, is placed into your jawbone to serve as the replacement root. Once the anchor is securely in place, a connecting piece called an abutment is attached, and then an artificial tooth is put on top. Voila! You’ve got yourself a prosthetic tooth that looks and functions just like the real thing.
If you’re interested in implants now or in the near future, one of the most exciting advancements in dental technology in the 21st century is robotic dental implant placement.
At our Katy, TX dental implant office, Dr. Artaza applies robotic technology, which combines the precision of advanced computer software with the gentle touch of an experienced dentist to ensure a flawless result.
With robotic dental implant placement, a digital image of your mouth is taken and analyzed to create a 3D map of your teeth. The computer system then guides a robotic arm to place the implant in the exact location needed for optimal function and aesthetics. Not only does this technology increase the accuracy of the procedure, but it also decreases the amount of time needed for the process and minimizes the risk of human error. Remarkably, patients can expect little to no discomfort after robotic-assisted dental implant surgery, allowing them to return to work the same or next day.
Dental Implants can be easily removed for cleaning and maintenance and improve speech, chewing ability, and overall quality of life for those who have lost their teeth.
At some point in your dental implant journey, you might face implant fracture, loosening, or infection, which would warrant dental implant repair. Dental implant repair refers to the process of fixing or restoring a dental implant that has been damaged or is not functioning properly. This can include repairing or replacing the implant itself, as well as any surrounding structures such as the abutment or crown.
Depending on the extent of the damage, repair may involve simple adjustments or more complex procedures such as bone grafting or implant replacement. It is essential to seek prompt, professional attention if you suspect that your dental implant needs repair, as untreated issues can lead to further damage and complications.

Yes, dental implants are designed to be a permanent solution—after all, the titanium post fuses with your jawbone during osseointegration. While you may need to replace the restoration on top of the implant at some point, with proper care and regular dental checkups, your new smile can last a lifetime.
Just like natural teeth! That’s the beauty of this tooth replacement option. Brush and floss every day, come to Artaza Dental for your regular checkups, and do your best to avoid damaging habits, like tobacco use or overconsumption of sugar.
Dental implants are suitable for most people. As long as you’re in good oral health and have enough jawbone density, you can restore your smile this way.
We can also work to rehabilitate your health to help you become a candidate, such as with procedures like bone grafting. During your consultation, we’ll assess your situation with the latest imaging technology to determine if implants are the right solution for you.
What your dental implants cost will depend on how many you get, what treatments you need in preparation (like bone grafting), and what insurance coverage you have. We understand that affordable dental implants are everyone’s goal. At our office, we offer a variety of ways to pay, from PPO insurance and Medicare to CareCredit® and our membership plan.
