Permanent Tooth Replacement That Feels Natural
Missing teeth don’t just affect your smile—they affect how you eat, speak, and show up in the world. At Bentley Dental in Fort Worth, we offer advanced dental implant solutions that restore more than just teeth. They restore freedom, confidence, and quality of life.
Because the best version of you shouldn’t have to hold back.
Dental implants are the closest thing to getting your natural teeth back. Built from a titanium post that integrates with your jawbone, implants serve as a permanent, stable foundation for beautiful, lifelike restorations.
No adhesives, slipping, or second-guessing your bite.

Why Choose Dental Implants?
If you’re missing one or more teeth, have good general health, and adequate bone density, dental implants may be the right choice. We also offer bone grafting and sinus lift options for patients who need additional support.
Our Dental Implant Process
At Bentley Dental, we provide a seamless experience from start to finish.
1. Consultation & Imaging
We evaluate your oral health, review your goals, and use 3D digital imaging to plan your implant with precision.
2. Implant Placement
A small titanium post is surgically placed into your jawbone. Over the next few months, it fuses with the bone in a process called osseointegration.
3. Abutment & Crown
Once healed, we attach a natural-looking crown (or bridge/denture) for a final result that feels just like your own teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dental implants are designed as long‑term replacements: a titanium post fuses with your jawbone (osseointegration) and supports a custom crown. With good home care and regular checkups, many last for decades.
Healthy gums, adequate bone, and good overall health are key. If bone is thin or soft, grafting can prepare the site for a stable result—your exam and 3D imaging confirm this.
Simple cases (single tooth, good bone) may finish in a few months; others take longer to allow healing or grafting. Some patients can receive an implant and provisional tooth in one visit; your plan is personalized.
You’ll be numb (and can opt for sedation). Most people report mild, short‑term soreness that’s manageable with over‑the‑counter pain relief and careful aftercare.
Costs vary by tooth, materials, and whether grafting or a sinus lift is needed. As a ballpark, one implant with an abutment and crown can run ~$3,000–$6,000+ nationally; we’ll provide a written estimate and financing options at your consult.
The abutment is the connector that links the implant to your custom crown. Some offices list it separately; our estimates spell out whether the abutment and crown are included so there are no surprises.
Implants replace tooth roots and transfer chewing forces to the bone, which helps maintain bone volume compared to removable dentures or a tooth‑supported bridge—though normal bone remodeling still occurs.
A single implant replaces one tooth. An implant bridge spans a gap using two or more implants. Implant‑supported dentures anchor a full arch to strategically placed implants for far better stability than removable plates.
It depends on bone quality, anatomy, and your restoration design. We confirm this with CBCT‑guided planning and review options (fixed vs. removable) during your consult.
CBCT gives a precise 3D view of bone and vital structures to plan position, size, and angle—and to fabricate surgical guides for accuracy. It’s quick, noninvasive, and aids safety.
It’s the natural process where bone grows onto the implant surface, locking it in place. Integration time varies (often several months) before the final crown or bridge is attached.
Select cases can receive same‑day implants with temporary teeth. We’ll use your exam and imaging to determine if immediate loading is appropriate.
Problems are uncommon but can include infection, delayed healing, nerve or sinus issues, or implant loosening. Careful planning, skilled surgery, and excellent home care help minimize risk.
If bone volume is insufficient, we may recommend a graft to strengthen the site. In the upper back jaw, a sinus lift can create space and support for implants; healing times vary.
Expect mild swelling/tenderness for a few days; stick to soft foods and follow your post‑op instructions. Grafts heal initially in about a week, but full maturation can take months.
Yes—your crown is color‑matched and shaped to blend with nearby teeth and your bite for a seamless smile.
Anchoring a denture to implants greatly improves stability for eating and speaking versus a removable plate alone.
Yes—age isn’t a contraindication. Overall health, gum condition, and bone quality matter more than age itself.
Brush and floss daily (water flossers help around bridges/dentures), keep regular cleanings, and protect your implants with a nightguard if you grind.
Coverage varies widely (many plans cover part, others exclude implants). We’ll check your benefits and discuss financing options at your visit.
Stick with soft, cool foods at first. Avoid very hard, sticky, or spicy foods until your provider clears you.
A crown restores a damaged tooth you still have. An implant replaces a missing tooth root and supports a crown on top.
