Common questions

How much does a dental implant cost in Stephenville?+

A single dental implant in central Texas typically ranges from $3,000 to $6,000, including the implant post, abutment, and crown. Full-arch options like All-on-4 range from $20,000 to $35,000 per arch. We provide an itemized treatment plan after a free 3D CBCT scan in our Stephenville office.

Do dental implants hurt?+

Implant placement is performed under local anesthetic and IV sedation if requested. Most patients describe the procedure as easier than a tooth extraction. Soreness for a few days is normal and managed with over-the-counter pain medication.

How long does the implant process take?+

Most cases take three to six months from start to finish. The titanium implant post is placed first, then heals into the bone over three to four months before the final crown is attached. Same-day temporary teeth are often possible.

Will my dental insurance cover the implant?+

Most PPO plans cover at least part of an implant when a tooth has been lost. Annual maximums of $1,500 to $2,500 typically cover the crown portion. We accept Delta Dental, Cigna, Aetna, and most major PPOs and verify benefits before treatment.

Am I a candidate for dental implants?+

Most healthy adults with adequate jawbone are candidates. Our 3D CBCT scan tells us in minutes whether you have enough bone or need a graft. Heavy smokers and uncontrolled diabetics have lower success rates and are evaluated case-by-case.

What is the success rate?+

Long-term implant success rates exceed 95% at 10-year follow-up in healthy patients (Clinical Oral Implants Research). Success depends on bone quality, hygiene, and not smoking. We document each case and offer a transparent warranty.

Why choose Dental Excellence over an oral surgeon?+

Our practice both places and restores implants under one roof, you don't coordinate between a surgeon and a separate restorative dentist. Dr. LaDuque is also a member of the American Academy for Oral Systemic Health, which means we evaluate airway and bite alongside the implant plan.
