A tooth that stands on its own
A dental implant replaces the whole tooth. A small post sits in the jawbone where the root used to be, and a crown on top gives you the part you see and chew with. Your neighboring teeth stay untouched.
Arlington dental implants at Enamyl Dentistry start with a 3D CBCT scan, so Dr. Yousif Al Najafi can see your bone, nerves, and sinuses before he plans anything.
Why should you get an implant?
- It looks and works like the rest of your teeth
- Nothing to take out at night or soak in a glass
- No need to file down healthy teeth for support
- It helps keep the jawbone from shrinking where the tooth was lost
- With good care, it can last for decades
How your implant comes together
Consultation
We take x-rays, a CBCT scan, and an iTero scan, then talk through your options and the cost.
Bone grafting if you need it
If the area has lost bone, a graft rebuilds it first so the implant has a solid base.
Guided placement
A surgical guide made from your scans sets the angle and depth of the implant before treatment day.
Healing
Over the next few months, the bone grows around the post and holds it in place.
Your crown
A porcelain crown, shaded to match your other teeth, completes the tooth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most adults with healthy gums and enough jawbone are. Smoking and uncontrolled health conditions can slow healing, so we review your history at the consultation. The CBCT scan tells us whether you need a bone graft before your Arlington dental implants.
An implant stands on its own, while a bridge relies on the teeth next to the gap for support. If those teeth are healthy, an implant spares them. We'll compare both options with you.
Plan on a few months from placement to final crown, and longer if you need a bone graft first. Your Arlington dental implants plan includes a timeline before you start.
We numb the area first, so you feel pressure rather than pain. Most people manage the soreness afterward with over-the-counter pain relief for a few days.
