Normal Function and Excellent Aesthetics

Today’s dental implants look and feel like natural teeth.

Replacing a missing tooth with a dental implant restores normal function and quality of life day-to-day.

What Are the Benefits of Dental Implants?

At Rockwall Oral Surgery in Rockwall TX, we understand that losing teeth can have a devastating effect on your quality of life, and seriously impact your confidence. With dental implants, however, restoring the health and beauty of your mouth is possible. Dental implants involve a surgical procedure in which small titanium rods are inserted into your jawbone. After you have healed, the implants then act as a support system, holding your replacement crowns. There are many benefits to dental implants.

Dental Implants Directly Improve Lives.

From better speech to jaw health, the choice of dental implants adds quality to life.

Improved Eating

Your teeth are essential for the beginning stages of digestion. Sufficiently chewing your food helps to break it down, making the nutrients more easily accessible for the body to absorb. When you are missing teeth, this process is interrupted. Your body cannot absorb as many nutrients, and your overall health can suffer.

Implants help to provide a strong, stable support system for your replacement teeth. With your new crowns, you can once again thoroughly chew your food, allowing the nutrients within to become more easily accessed. Your replacement teeth also help to fill the gaps left behind by missing teeth, preventing food from becoming lodged.

Better Speech

Teeth play a couple of roles in speech. First, they control airflow. Second, certain sounds rely on the ability of your tongue to touch the back of your teeth. Missing teeth can lead to a lisp and can make it difficult for others to understand you when you speak. Unlike dentures, which can take some time to adjust to (or cause a whistle if they are not fit properly), dental implants work just like your natural teeth. Your speech is restored, without the need for an adjustment period.

More Comfort

A common complaint about traditional dentures is that they are uncomfortable. If they become loose or do not fit properly, they can rub against your gums, leading to painful sores. Dentures also rely on your gums for support, and can significantly restrict blood flow.

Implants provide you with much more comfort. Rather than sitting directly on your gums, your replacement teeth are supported by the titanium rods. Pressure is taken off of the tissue. Moreover, because they are fixed in place, you never have to worry about them slipping out of place and rubbing against your gums.

Permanent Solution

Traditional dentures are removable, and cleaning them every night can be rather time-consuming. Implants, however, are not removable. They can be cared for every day just like your natural teeth, with regular brushing and flossing. In fact, except avoiding chewing on hard objects like ice, popcorn kernels, and writing instruments, no other special care is required.

Maintaining Your Jaw Health

When you lose your teeth, your jawbone begins to weaken, and bone mass deteriorates. While dentures replace your teeth, they cannot stop this deterioration from occurring. Over time, your jawbone changes shape, and your face begins to age. Implants, because they are inserted into the jaw, mimic the roots of natural teeth. The rods stimulate the bone and help to maintain the integrity, and shape of your jawbone. Dental implants offer you a permanent solution to your tooth loss, restoring the health and function of your mouth, and the beauty of your smile.

Excellent Results and Strong Relationships

We walk with patients through every step of their oral surgery experience

I Am Grateful

"I had a root canal done in Dallas and unfortunately there was a persistent infection so I chose to have the tooth extracted. Thankfully, I had the procedure done by Dr. Kevin Pollock in Rockwall. He and his staff were able to make this procedure a pleasant one. I am grateful for the amazing work he did. My family will be choosing Dr. Pollock for all of our future procedures! His staff is also very conscientious and kind. I appreciate Dr. Pollock, Annalise, Stephanie and Cheryl! Thank you for helping through this with ease!"

– Beth O.

I Had The BEST Experience!

"I had the BEST experience at Rockwall Oral Surgery! Today, I had two baby teeth extracted, and since my adult impacted canine wouldn’t move, Dr. Pollock placed an implant at the same time as the extraction. I couldn’t be happier with the results!

From the moment I walked in, the staff was warm, professional, and reassuring. I opted for IV sedation, and I didn’t feel a thing—truly the easiest dental procedure I’ve ever had.

Dr. Pollock explained everything clearly, made me feel completely comfortable, and the whole team went above and beyond to make the process smooth.

If you’re looking for skilled oral surgeons who genuinely care about their patients, I can’t recommend Rockwall Oral Surgery enough!"

A High Level of Care

"I’ve used Dr. Pollock multiple times—for both of my older kids, my niece and nephews, and even myself—and each experience has been excellent. He provides a high level of care, is extremely knowledgeable, and takes the time to ensure everything is clearly explained.

Following his post-op instructions led to smooth and quick healing every time. What really stands out is his thoughtful aftercare—he’s responsive, follows up when needed, and genuinely makes you feel like you’re in good hands. I highly recommend him to anyone needing an oral surgeon."
