Dental Implants in Mineral Wells, TX
Permanent tooth replacement with complete in-house care — CBCT 3D-guided surgery right here in Palo Pinto County. No referral to Fort Worth or Dallas needed.
What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a small titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as an artificial tooth root. Once the implant integrates with the bone — a process called osseointegration — a custom-crafted ceramic crown is attached to restore full chewing function and a natural appearance.
Implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth because they look, feel, and function like your own. Unlike bridges or dentures, dental implants preserve the surrounding bone structure and do not require altering adjacent healthy teeth. With proper care, a dental implant can last a lifetime.
Dr. Lewis provides the entire implant procedure in-house — from the initial 3D scan and treatment plan to surgical placement and final crown restoration — so you receive consistent, coordinated care without traveling to multiple offices.

The Dental Implant Process
Consultation & 3D Imaging
A comprehensive exam including CBCT imaging to evaluate bone density, map nerve pathways, and determine your candidacy for implants.
Treatment Planning
Dr. Lewis creates a computer-guided surgical plan that pinpoints the optimal placement for your implant based on the 3D scan data.
Implant Placement
The titanium implant post is placed into the jawbone using guided surgery. Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure.
Healing & Osseointegration
Over the next three to six months, the implant fuses with the bone to create a stable foundation. A temporary restoration may be placed during this period.
Crown Restoration
Once fully integrated, a custom porcelain crown is designed to match the shade, shape, and contour of your natural teeth and attached to the implant.

Dental Implant FAQs
How much do dental implants cost in Mineral Wells, Texas?
A single dental implant in Mineral Wells typically costs between $3,000 and $6,000, including the implant post, abutment, and crown. The final cost depends on factors such as bone density, whether bone grafting is needed, and your insurance coverage. We offer Cherry, CareCredit financing, and an in-house membership plan to make treatment accessible.
How painful is getting a dental implant?
Most patients report that the procedure itself is painless thanks to local anesthesia. Post-operative discomfort is typically mild and manageable with over-the-counter pain medication for a few days. Dr. Lewis uses CBCT 3D-guided surgical planning to minimize tissue disruption, which often results in faster healing.
What is cheaper than a dental implant?
Dental bridges and removable partial dentures are less expensive alternatives upfront. However, implants are typically the most cost-effective option long-term because they can last a lifetime with proper care, they preserve the surrounding bone, and they do not require altering adjacent healthy teeth.
Can I get dental implants if I cannot afford them?
Yes. We offer multiple financing options including Cherry, CareCredit, and an in-house membership plan. Many dental insurance plans cover a portion of implant treatment. During your consultation, we will provide a detailed cost estimate and walk through every payment option.
Does Brazos River Dental do the entire implant procedure in-office?
Yes. Dr. Lewis is one of the only providers in Palo Pinto County offering complete in-house implant care — from the initial 3D CBCT scan and surgical placement to the final crown restoration. You will not need a referral to a separate oral surgeon.
