Many patients hear they lack the bone needed for dental implants. That is not the end of the road. At Texas Center for Oral Surgery & Dental Implants, board-certified surgeons use advanced planning, minimally invasive techniques, and an in-house digital lab to restore smiles safely and predictably. Our All-In-One Smile solution adapts the proven all on 4 dental implant concept to deliver fixed teeth the same day, even for many with bone loss. Call to schedule a consultation.
Why Bone Shrinks After Tooth Loss
Tooth roots stimulate the jaw. When teeth are missing, the body reabsorbs unused bone. This resorption changes facial shape and reduces support for traditional implants. Long gaps without teeth, poorly fitting dentures, and individual biology can speed up bone loss.
Modern Imaging And Planning Change Candidacy
We use 3D cone beam CT, digital impressions, facial scanning, and guided surgery. This lets us map the densest areas of bone and avoid critical structures. Many patients once told no are now candidates with the right plan.
Targeted Bone Grafting When It Adds Value
Bone grafting remains an essential tool when the jaw needs reinforcement before or during implant placement. At Texas Center for Oral Surgery & Dental Implants, our surgeons perform precise, minimally invasive grafting procedures to restore the volume and strength of the jawbone where it has thinned or resorbed.
Bone grafting works by stimulating new bone growth. Small amounts of grafting material—either from your own bone, a donor source, or a biocompatible synthetic—are added to deficient areas. Over several months, your natural bone integrates with the graft, rebuilding a solid foundation for long-term implant stability.
Common grafting types include:
- Socket preservation: Bone is added immediately after tooth extraction to maintain ridge height and width for future implants.
- Sinus lift: The sinus membrane is gently raised and bone placed beneath it to create support for upper back implants.
- Ridge augmentation: Bone grafts restore width or height to the jaw ridge where significant resorption has occurred.
- Guided bone regeneration (GBR): A membrane protects the graft site to encourage natural bone regrowth while preventing soft tissue invasion.
Our surgeons determine whether grafting is beneficial based on digital scans, implant position, and your long-term restorative goals. In many cases, modern full arch solutions—like our All-In-One Smile™ treatment—can eliminate or reduce the need for major bone grafting by strategically placing implants into naturally denser bone.
When grafting is recommended, we use high-quality materials and precise surgical techniques to achieve predictable, lasting results that strengthen your foundation for life-long dental implant success.
All-In-One Smile: Our All on 4 Full-Arch Solution
Our All-In-One Smile™ solution is Texas Center’s evolution of the proven All on 4 concept—engineered to deliver permanent, natural-looking teeth in one day. This treatment combines surgical precision, digital design, and advanced materials to replace an entire arch of failing or missing teeth with a fully fixed, long-lasting smile.
Unlike traditional dentures or multi-step implant procedures, the All-In-One Smile approach is completed in a single coordinated process at our in-house surgical and digital design facility. Using 3D imaging and guided surgery, our surgeons strategically place four to six implants into areas of naturally stronger bone, providing exceptional stability while avoiding the need for extensive grafting or sinus lifts.
Within hours, you’ll receive a set of custom, fixed provisional teeth designed and 3D printed in our own lab. These are not converted dentures—they’re specifically engineered for comfort, function, and aesthetics while your implants heal. Months later, we finalize your treatment with a precision-milled zirconia bridge that looks and feels like natural teeth.
Key advantages of the All-In-One Smile™ solution include:
- Permanent fixed teeth in one day: Leave surgery with a fully functional, confident smile.
- Streamlined process: No outside labs or multiple offices—everything happens under one roof.
- Minimally invasive and efficient: Fewer surgeries, faster recovery, and reduced discomfort.
- Strong and natural materials: Final prosthetics are milled from high-quality zirconia for durability and lifelike appearance.
- Ideal for patients with bone loss: Angled implants in dense bone zones often eliminate the need for bone grafting.
- Predictable outcomes: Fully guided implant placement using digital planning ensures accuracy and long-term success.
With decades of combined surgical expertise and a private, fully digital lab, our team delivers unmatched precision and personalization. The All-In-One Smile treatment is more than a restoration—it’s a complete transformation of health, confidence, and quality of life.
Severe Bone Loss Options: Zygomatic and Pterygoid Implants
For patients with extreme upper jaw bone loss, traditional implants may not have enough support to hold fixed teeth securely. At Texas Center for Oral Surgery & Dental Implants, our board-certified surgeons offer advanced alternatives such as zygomatic and pterygoid implants in Dallas, TX—specialized techniques designed to restore smiles even when bone grafting alone is not enough.
Zygomatic implants are longer implant posts anchored directly into the cheekbone (zygoma), one of the strongest bones in the body. This approach bypasses the need for bone grafting or sinus lifts, making it ideal for patients who have worn dentures for years or lost significant bone volume in the upper jaw. These implants provide a stable foundation for full-arch restorations like our All-In-One Smile™ solution, allowing many patients to receive fixed teeth the same day as surgery.
Pterygoid implants are placed at the back of the upper jaw, near the pterygoid bone, to provide additional anchorage when traditional implant sites are not available. By combining zygomatic and pterygoid placement, our surgeons can restore even the most complex cases to full function and esthetics without the lengthy healing periods associated with major bone grafts.
Benefits of zygomatic and pterygoid implants include:
- Immediate, fixed teeth even in severe bone loss cases
- Reduced treatment time by avoiding sinus lifts and grafting
- Exceptional stability and long-term success rates
- Restored ability to chew, speak, and smile confidently
Using 3D-guided technology and our fully digital lab, the Texas Center team custom-designs your treatment for precision and comfort. These advanced implant techniques—performed by highly trained surgeons—are part of what makes our All-In-One Smile™ system a life-changing option for patients once told they weren’t candidates for dental implants.
If you’ve been denied for implants elsewhere due to bone loss, schedule a consultation to explore how zygomatic or pterygoid implants can give you back a complete, functional smile—often in just one visit.
Anesthesia And Comfort
Our surgeons are trained in IV sedation and general anesthesia. Most full-arch procedures are completed while you sleep. Minimally invasive techniques and careful post-op protocols support a smooth recovery.
Who Is A Candidate
You may qualify if you have failing teeth, loose or painful dentures, or have been told you do not have enough bone. With guided surgery and angled implants, many patients previously turned away can receive fixed teeth with the All-In-One Smile approach.
