Dental Implants in Sherman, Texas
Permanent tooth replacement that looks, feels, and works like natural teeth
Missing a tooth, or several? Dental implants are the closest thing to natural teeth: a permanent tooth replacement that lets you eat, speak, smile, and laugh with confidence again. At Pecan Grove Dental, Dr. Loretta Anekwe uses dental implants to replace missing teeth, restore your bite, and protect the jawbone that shrinks after tooth loss.
A dental implant is a small titanium post placed in your jawbone that fuses with the bone to create a strong, permanent foundation. Topped with a custom crown, bridge, or denture, it looks and feels like the tooth you lost, with no slipping and no adhesives.
Our dental implants in Sherman, Texas can replace:
- A single missing tooth with a single-tooth implant and a natural-looking crown
- Several missing teeth with an implant-supported bridge
- A full arch with implant-retained dentures or full-mouth reconstruction
Serving Sherman, Denison, Pottsboro, Van Alstyne, Grayson County, and the Texoma area. Rated 4.9 stars across 208 Google reviews. Ready to replace a missing tooth for good? Call (903) 868-8506 or book a dental implant consultation with Dr. Anekwe.
Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?
Most healthy adults with one or more missing teeth are good candidates for dental implants. The best way to know for sure is a dental implant consultation at our Sherman, Texas office, which includes a dental and X-ray exam and a review of your health history. If you’ve had bone loss or gum disease, Dr. Anekwe will explain whether any preparation, such as a bone graft, is needed first. For more complex cases, we work alongside a trusted oral and maxillofacial surgeon to give your treatment the best chance of success.
Worried about cost? A dental implant is an investment in a permanent solution, and we offer flexible payment plans to keep it affordable. Your exact quote comes after your consultation, since it depends on how many teeth you’re replacing.
The Dental Implant Procedure: What to Expect
For most patients, getting dental implants happens in stages over about six to eight months, with little disruption to everyday life:
- Consultation and planning: Dr. Anekwe examines your mouth, takes X-rays, and maps out your treatment, including the final crown, bridge, or denture.
- Implant placement: The titanium implant is placed in your jawbone. Over the next three to six months, it fuses with the bone (a process called osseointegration) to form a permanent anchor. You can wear a temporary denture and eat a soft diet while you heal.
- Your new teeth: Once the implant has bonded, a small healing collar and abutment are attached, an impression is taken, and your custom replacement tooth or teeth are secured in place.
With good oral hygiene and regular checkups, dental implants can last for decades, often a lifetime, and you care for them just like natural teeth. Unlike a bridge or removable denture, an implant stands on its own and helps preserve the jawbone, so your face keeps its natural shape.

Dental Implant FAQs: Cost, Candidacy & What to Expect in Sherman, Texas
Answers about dental implant cost, candidacy, pain, and how long implants last
How much do dental implants cost in Sherman, TX?
The cost of dental implants depends on how many teeth you’re replacing and whether you need preparation like a bone graft, so an exact quote comes after your consultation. Implants cost more upfront than a bridge or denture, but they’re a permanent, one-time solution. Pecan Grove Dental offers flexible payment plans to keep them affordable. Call (903) 868-8506.
Am I a candidate for dental implants?
Most healthy adults with one or more missing teeth are candidates for dental implants. You generally need enough healthy jawbone to support the implant, though a bone graft can help if you’ve lost bone. The only way to know for sure is a consultation with Dr. Anekwe at our Sherman, Texas office. Call (903) 868-8506 to schedule yours.
Are dental implants painful?
Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the process is. The implant is placed under local anesthesia, so you shouldn’t feel pain during the procedure, and any soreness afterward is usually mild and eased with over-the-counter pain relievers. Dr. Anekwe and our team focus on keeping you comfortable at every step.
How long do dental implants last?
With good care, dental implants can last decades, and often a lifetime. The titanium implant itself is built to be permanent, while the crown on top may need replacing after 10 to 15 years of normal wear. Daily brushing and flossing plus regular checkups give your implant the best chance to last.
Are dental implants better than dentures or a bridge?
It depends on your situation, but dental implants offer benefits dentures and bridges can’t. Implants are fixed, feel like natural teeth, don’t rely on neighboring teeth, and help preserve your jawbone. Dentures and bridges can be more affordable or faster to place. Dr. Anekwe will walk you through the options at your consultation. Call (903) 868-8506.
