Stop Living Around a Missing Tooth. There Is a Permanent Answer.
People across Grand Prairie and the DFW area are living with missing teeth, failing restorations, or loose dentures that affect how they eat, speak, and feel every day. Grand Prairie Family Dental, located in Grand Prairie TX, offers dental implants and permanent tooth replacement under Dr. Behrooz Khademazad, DDS, who has practiced at this location since August 28, 1988, with continuing education that specifically includes implant dentistry.
If you have been putting this off because of cost or fear of the procedure, you are not alone. Patients from Lake Parks, Dalworth Park, and Nottingham Estates come to Dr. Khademazad after months or years of avoiding this conversation. Most patients who complete implant treatment say the same thing: they only wish they had done it sooner. Before anything is scheduled, Dr. Khademazad evaluates your bone density, gum health, and full dental history so you leave knowing exactly what your case involves.
What Is a Dental Implant
A dental implant is a small titanium post placed into your jawbone that acts as an artificial tooth root, fusing with surrounding bone through osseointegration to create a stable, permanent foundation. The American Dental Association considers implants the gold standard for tooth replacement because of their stability, longevity, and ability to preserve jawbone density.
A complete implant has three components: the titanium post, the abutment connecting it to the crown, and the custom porcelain crown matched to your surrounding teeth. Unlike bridges or dentures, implants become part of your jaw, which is what makes them feel and function like nothing else available.
What Problems Can Dental Implants Solve
Dental implants address a wider range of tooth loss situations than most patients realize. Here is what they can solve for you:
- A single missing tooth replaced without touching neighboring teeth
- Multiple missing teeth with individual implants or implant-supported bridges
- Full arch tooth loss with All-on-X reconstruction
- Loose or unstable dentures replaced with implant-supported alternatives
- Jawbone resorption slowed by restoring root stimulation
When a tooth is lost, the jawbone beneath it begins to resorb within months because it no longer receives stimulation. Patients from Lake Parks and Dalworth Park who come in years after an extraction sometimes need a bone graft first for this reason, which is why addressing a missing tooth sooner makes the process more straightforward.
What to Expect During the Dental Implant Process
Your first appointment covers a full examination, X-rays or 3D imaging, and a bone density assessment to confirm you are a candidate. Dr. Khademazad walks through the complete timeline at the consultation so you know exactly what each stage involves before anything is scheduled.
The implant post is placed under local anesthetic, followed by a healing period of three to six months for osseointegration. The abutment and custom crown are fitted once the implant is fully integrated. Most cases at Grand Prairie Family Dental are completed in four to eight months from first appointment to final crown.
How Much Do Dental Implants Cost in Grand Prairie TX
A single dental implant in Grand Prairie TX, including the post, abutment, and crown, typically ranges from $3,000 to $6,000 depending on the complexity of the case and whether any preparatory treatment is needed. Multiple implants and full-arch cases run significantly higher. Most dental insurance plans offer limited implant coverage, though some PPO plans apply benefits toward the crown portion. Financing options are available to spread the cost over time, and a complete written cost breakdown is provided before any treatment is scheduled.
One thing worth considering honestly: the cost of a missing tooth over time is rarely zero. Bone resorption, shifting teeth, and bite changes that develop after years with an untreated gap often lead to more complex and expensive treatment. Patients who address a missing tooth early with an implant typically spend less overall than those who wait years and require additional preparatory procedures before placement can begin.
Dental Implants vs. Bridges vs. Dentures
Understanding how implants compare to other tooth replacement options helps you make a confident decision at your consultation. Each option has a different profile for longevity, function, and impact on surrounding teeth and bone.
| Option | Feels Natural | Preserves Bone | Lifespan | Removable | Cost Range |
| Dental Implant | Yes | Yes | 20+ years with care | No | $3,000-$6,000 per tooth |
| Dental Bridge | Mostly | No | 10-15 years | No | $2,500-$6,000 |
| Traditional Dentures | No | No | 5-10 years | Yes | $1,500-$4,000 |
| Implant-Supported Dentures | Yes | Partially | 15-20+ years | Removable or fixed | $15,000-$35,000 |
The right option depends on how many teeth are missing, jawbone density, overall health, and your goals. Dr. Khademazad evaluates all of these factors before recommending anything. No treatment is scheduled until you have a complete picture of your options, the timeline, and the full cost.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Dental Implants
Implants are one of the most predictable procedures in modern dentistry when the right candidate is selected. The evaluation at Grand Prairie Family Dental screens for all of the factors that determine whether implant placement is appropriate for your specific situation. Strong candidates include:
- Adults with one or more missing teeth
- Patients with adequate jawbone density for implant placement
- Patients with healthy gums free of active periodontal disease
- Non-smokers or patients committed to quitting before and during healing
- Patients with controlled systemic conditions such as diabetes
- Adults who want a permanent, non-removable tooth replacement
- Patients who have completed any needed restorative or periodontal work first
Patients with significant bone loss may need a bone graft before implant placement, which adds time to the overall treatment plan. Dr. Khademazad uses imaging to assess bone density at the consultation and explains grafting requirements and the adjusted timeline if applicable.

Dental Implants FAQ’s
How much do dental implants cost in Grand Prairie TX?
Investment varies based on your specific needs, typically ranging from $1,500 to $6,000 per implant plus the crown. We provide detailed cost estimates during your consultation and work with most insurance plans to maximize your benefits.
The total cost depends on the number of teeth replaced, materials used, and whether you need bone grafting or other prep work. Insurance may cover part of the cost, but most treat implants as partly elective.
What People Should Be Asking Instead: For my specific case, what is the complete price from start to finish, and what portion will insurance really cover?
- Get a written treatment plan that includes imaging, surgery, and final restoration for a clear total estimate.
- Ask your dental team to verify coverage with your insurer before starting.
- Discuss financing or phased treatment options if you want to spread costs over time.

Can dental implants fail?
Implant failure is uncommon. Clinical data consistently shows success rates above 95 percent in healthy patients. Failure can occur due to infection during healing, inadequate bone integration, smoking, or poorly controlled systemic conditions such as diabetes. Dr. Khademazad evaluates all known risk factors before placement and provides detailed aftercare instructions to protect the integration process. Patients who follow post-operative guidance and maintain regular cleanings have the best long-term outcomes.

Does dental implant surgery hurt?
The implant placement procedure is performed under local anesthetic, so patients feel pressure but minimal pain during the surgery. Post-operative soreness is manageable for most patients with over-the-counter pain relief for the first few days after placement. Most patients report the discomfort is less than they expected and significantly less uncomfortable than a tooth extraction. Dr. Khademazad provides specific post-operative instructions to support healing and minimize discomfort during osseointegration.

How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, dental implants can last 20 years or more and many last a lifetime. The porcelain crown on top may need replacement after 15 to 20 years due to normal wear. Maintaining regular professional cleanings every six months, avoiding habits that stress the crown such as chewing ice or hard candy, and not smoking all significantly extend implant lifespan. The titanium post itself rarely fails once osseointegration is complete.

Can I eat normally with dental implants?
Function is just as important as appearance, and patients want to know if they can chew comfortably again.
What People Should Be Asking Instead: Once healed, how do implants compare to natural teeth for chewing?
- After full healing and restoration, implants allow most people to eat a wide variety of foods, often with chewing power similar to natural teeth.
- You will start with softer foods during healing, then gradually return to a normal diet as your dentist advises.
- Avoiding habits like chewing ice or very hard objects helps protect the implant crown from damage.
Is a bone graft always required before a dental implant?
No. Bone grafting is only needed when the jawbone lacks sufficient density or volume to support an implant securely. Patients who have had a missing tooth for an extended period are more likely to need a graft because the jawbone resorbs over time without a tooth root to stimulate it. Dr. Khademazad uses imaging to assess bone density at the consultation and discusses grafting requirements, the added timeline, and the associated costs clearly before any decisions are made.
