Why Dental Implants Are the Gold Standard
Lifetime Solution
Unlike bridges or dentures that need replacement every 5–15 years, dental implants can last a lifetime with proper care. When you calculate cost per year, implants are the most economical option long-term.
Prevents Bone Loss
Implants stimulate your jawbone like natural tooth roots, preventing the bone deterioration that occurs with missing teeth — preserving your facial structure for decades.
Restore Full Function
Dental implants restore 85–95% of natural chewing power, compared to just 25% with dentures. Eat anything you want — steak, apples, corn on the cob — without restrictions.
Natural Appearance
Custom crowns are designed to match your natural teeth perfectly. Implants emerge from the gums like real teeth — no visible metal or plastic, no one will know they're not natural.
Permanently Fixed
Unlike dentures that slip or require adhesives, implants are permanently anchored. Speak, laugh, and eat with complete confidence — no dietary restrictions, no embarrassing moments.
Protects Adjacent Teeth
Bridges require grinding down healthy adjacent teeth. Implants are standalone restorations that preserve your natural tooth structure and don't compromise neighboring teeth.
Dental Implant Cost for Houston Patients
Dental implant costs in the Greater Houston area typically run higher inside Loop 610 or the Energy Corridor due to overhead costs. Best Dental in Richmond offers the same quality — premium implant brands, advanced imaging, experienced surgeons — at more competitive pricing.
Typical pricing ranges: single tooth implants run $3,000–$6,000 total, multiple implants $6,000–$30,000 depending on the case, and full-arch All-on-4 restorations $15,000–$30,000 per arch. For a detailed breakdown, ask our team during your consultation and we'll walk you through full pricing transparency.

The Dental Implant Process
1
Consultation & 3D Imaging
Dr. Naderi evaluates your bone density with a CT scan, reviews your health history, and creates a customized treatment plan with transparent, upfront pricing. You'll know exactly what to expect before committing.
2
Preparatory Procedures (If Needed)
Some patients require bone grafting or sinus lifts. Dr. Naderi performs these in-house with a 3–6 month healing period before implant placement. Only recommended when truly necessary.
3
Implant Placement Surgery
Under local anesthesia or sedation, Dr. Naderi places the titanium post into your jawbone. Most patients return to normal activities within 2–3 days with minimal discomfort.
4
Osseointegration (3–6 Months)
Your jawbone fuses with the implant post, creating a permanent foundation. Temporary teeth are provided during healing so you're never without a full smile.
5
Custom Crown Placement
Dr. Jasmine Naderi designs your final crown to match your natural teeth perfectly in color, shape, and size. The crown is secured and your restoration is complete.
Who Qualifies for Dental Implants?
Most adults missing one or more teeth are candidates for dental implants. Key requirements include good general health, sufficient bone volume (or willingness to undergo bone grafting), healthy gums, and a commitment to oral hygiene. There is no upper age limit — patients in their 70s and 80s successfully receive implants at Best Dental.
Ideal Implant Candidates
- Missing one or more teeth (single, multiple, or full arch)
- Adequate jawbone density or willing to undergo bone grafting
- Healthy gums free from active periodontal disease
- Good general health, able to undergo a minor surgical procedure
- Non-smoker or committed to quitting (smoking reduces success rates)
- Committed to regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups
Patients with controlled diabetes, osteoporosis, or most cardiovascular conditions are generally still candidates. During your consultation, Dr. Naderi evaluates your individual circumstances and coordinates with your physician when needed to ensure safety.
Implants vs. Bridges vs. Dentures
When comparing tooth replacement options, the long-term picture matters. Dentures cost $1,500–$4,000 upfront but require replacement every 5–10 years, adding up to $9,000+ over 30 years plus adhesives and adjustments. Bridges run $2,500–$5,000 but typically last 10–15 years and require grinding down healthy adjacent teeth — often $10,500+ over a lifetime. A single implant at $4,000 may only require one crown replacement in 30 years, making it the most cost-effective permanent solution.
Beyond cost, implants are the only option that prevents bone loss, restores full chewing power (85–95%), and doesn't compromise surrounding teeth — making them the clear long-term winner.
Frequently Asked Questions — Houston Patients
Is the drive from Houston worth it?
Most patients say absolutely yes. The combination of Dr. Naderi's experience (1,000+ implants), in-house surgery and crown restoration, competitive pricing, and the ease of free parking and accessible scheduling makes the 20–30 minute drive from Southwest Houston well worth it. Many of our Houston-area patients come back for all their dental care after their implant experience.
Do you accept Houston-area insurance plans?
Yes. Best Dental works with most major dental insurance providers. Many plans cover partial implant costs ($1,000–$1,500 per implant). Our team will verify your specific benefits and maximize your coverage before treatment begins.
How long does the full implant process take?
Most cases take 3–6 months from implant placement to final crown. If bone grafting is required, add 3–6 months for healing before placement. Dr. Naderi provides temporary teeth throughout so you'll always have a complete smile during treatment.
Are dental implants painful?
Most patients report far less discomfort than expected. You'll be numb during surgery, and post-op discomfort is typically mild — comparable to a tooth extraction — and managed with over-the-counter pain medication. Sedation options are also available for anxious patients.
What's Dr. Naderi's implant success rate?
Dr. Naderi maintains a 95%+ implant success rate in line with the national average for experienced implant surgeons. He uses advanced 3D imaging and surgical guides to ensure precise placement every time.
