How Can Dental Implants Help?
When you lose or can’t use a tooth, it can become difficult to chew and speak clearly. If tooth loss is left untreated, it could result in problems like tooth shifts, jawbone deterioration, facial structure, and bite imbalances. These issues usually develop over time when there is no root system to maintain bone health and alignment.
Dental implants are essentially artificial teeth that permanently replace lost, damaged, or decaying natural teeth.
The Dental Implant Process
In-House Implants from Start to Finish
At Pearl Shine Dental, we can complete every step of the implant procedure in our Houston office. With our state-of-the-art in-house 3D printing technology, we’re able to manufacture your implant, cutting out expensive lab costs and long waiting times. This technology goes a long way to providing you with a cheaper, quicker dental implant. Here is a step-by-step guide on what you can expect, from consultation to aftercare:
1. Initial Consultation
- Evaluation: Oral health assessment, including x-rays.
- Discussion: Treatment options, timelines, and costs.
2. Design and Print
- Digital Impressions: Using intraoral scanners to create a 3D model of the mouth.
- Implant Design: Custom design of the implant components using software.
- 3D Printing: In-house printing of the crown and possibly other components.
3. Surgical Procedure
- Implant Placement: Surgically inserting the titanium post under local anesthesia.
- Healing Period: Allowing time for osseointegration where the jawbone integrates with the implant.
4. Abutment Placement
- Procedure: Placing the abutment on the healed implant post to support the crown.
5. Crown Attachment
- Final Fitting: Attach the custom-printed crown to the abutment and make necessary adjustments.
6. Follow-Up Care
- Check-ups: Ensuring proper healing and function through follow-up visits.
- Maintenance: Regular dental check-ups and proper hygiene practices.

After not having dental insurance for 3 years and being terrified of facing the dentist, I faced my fears and chose this clinic. I was extremely satisfied with Dr. Sahegin-Charolia service and the lovely dental hygienist Smiley. I expressed my concerns for my teeth and my embarrassment. I was reassured that they would provide quality care to ensure not only my comfort but to keep my teeth healthy. I needed a deep cleaning and Smiley did an excellent job educating me on the deep cleaning process and the importance of maintenance outside of the clinic. The admin staff up front is amazing as well and so caring. 10/10 would recommend.

I have been coming to this dentist for 7-8 years, and have never wanted to go anywhere else! They are so convenient. There is not many dentist offices by me. My daughter is 9, and this is the only dentist she has had since she was 2. So they handle adult and pediatric dentistry. They have televisions above you, while you are getting work done. Everyone is nice from on the phone, front desk, dental assistants, hygienists, and the dentist. The dentist is very personable, great bedside manner. They always greet YOU, and know who you are. They even humor me by letting me get a toy at the end of my visit! I sent a friend here (he had a toothache), and they saw him that day, so if they are not busy, they may take urgent appointments. There office is CLEAN, and newly renovated. Lastly, they remind me of all my maintenance appointments that are needed for the year, so I dont have to keep up with them. If you are on this side of town, this is the neighborhood dentist for you. If you are close, they are worth the drive!

Great experience for my cleaning. My husband and I joined the membership plan which gets you a great discount if you don’t have dental insurance. Front staff was super friendly and helpful, and the dental assistant did a great job. Doc and hygienist were thorough too and explained everything well. Top of the line tech too.

I was greeted with a friendly smile and my questions were answered professionally and politely. I’m also amazed with how fast I was seen and Dr. Charolia’s attentive involvement with my concerns. He did not rush his conversation or push his suggestions on me. I felt he cared and allowed me time to process what my treatment was about and I asked as many questions deemed necessary.
