Your best choice for dental implants

Experienced implant dentist

Dr. LaDuque has extensive training and experience in both placing and restoring dental implants, every step of the case sits with one provider.

3D guided surgery

CBCT scans and guided surgical techniques mean safer, more precise implant placement, and fewer surprises during surgery.

Looks and feels natural

Implants fuse with your jawbone, providing unmatched stability and a completely natural appearance. Most patients forget which tooth was replaced.

Lasting investment

With proper care, dental implants routinely last for decades, a lower long-term cost than a bridge or denture once replacements are factored in.

Solutions for every need

Whether you're missing one tooth or many, we offer tailored implant solutions to fully restore your smile's function and aesthetics.

Single Tooth Implants

The ideal replacement for a single missing tooth, preserves adjacent healthy teeth and prevents bone loss in the gap.

Implant-Supported Bridges

Replace several missing teeth in a row without altering adjacent natural teeth. Fewer implants, full function.

Full Arch Restoration

Securely replace a full upper or lower arch with implant-retained dentures or All-on-4 fixed bridges. See our full-arch page for cost and timeline detail.

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?
Dental implants are one of the most predictable procedures in dentistry, and in healthy patients the large majority succeed over the long term. 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.
