The Most Natural Way To Replace Missing Teeth
Missing teeth can affect your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. At the dental practice of Dr. Mark G. Rangel, DDS, we offer state-of-the-art dental implants to replace missing teeth and restore your smile. Whether you've lost a single tooth or multiple teeth, our implant solutions provide a durable, natural-looking alternative that can last a lifetime.
We provide comprehensive dental implant services to meet your specific needs, including:
-
Single Tooth Implants: Replace a single missing tooth with a natural-looking implant that blends seamlessly with your existing teeth.
-
Implant-Supported Bridges: Replace multiple missing teeth with a secure and durable implant-supported bridge.
-
Full Arch Implants: Get a complete smile makeover with full arch implants (All-on-4 or All-onX) that provide stability and functionality.
-
Implant-Retained Dentures: Secure loose dentures with implants (overdentures) for improved comfort and confidence.
-
Bone Grafting: Prepare for implants with bone grafting procedures that strengthen and rebuild your jawbone.
With our implant solutions, you can regain the full function and appearance of your teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence once again. Plus, by preventing further bone loss in your jaw, you help maintain a natural, youthful facial profile—avoiding the sunken look that can occur when bone is lost.
Delaying treatment can lead to more complicated, expensive, and less predictable outcomes. Addressing dental issues promptly ensures a quicker and more effective resolution, saving you time, discomfort, and money in the long run.

What Our Patients Are Saying
I was really impressed with Dr Rangel and his entire staff.I took my son who has Asperger's and is not easily comfortable with dentists and change. They put him at ease and he is looking forward to his next visit. The Dr and his staff were very patient and understanding about my son's disability. I would highly recommend Dr Rangel to anyone.

This place is amazing, very gentle, and professional. Actually listen to what you want as a patient, and respectful of what you want. Will answer all of your questions with out being condescending, because let's admit, we aren't all doctors, yet give you detailed information about all options. The staff is extremely friendly and personable, yet retaining a level of trusted professionalism. Would highly recommend to anyone, even more so of those nervous of going to the dentist, like myself. I can truly say I made the right choice in my selection of dentistry professionals.

What are dental implants, and how do they work?Dental implants are a durable, long-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth. They consist of a titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone, which acts as a replacement root. Once the post integrates with the bone, a crown, bridge, or denture is attached to restore the appearance and function of the missing tooth.
-
Can dental implants help with a loose denture?Yes, dental implants can significantly improve the stability of a loose denture. Implant-supported dentures are securely anchored to implants placed in your jawbone, providing a firm foundation that prevents slipping and discomfort. This option not only enhances your ability to eat and speak confidently but also helps maintain your jawbone health. Dr. Rangel can assess your situation and determine if implant-supported dentures are the right solution for you and if you are a candidate.
-
Am I a candidate for dental implants?Most people who are in good general health and have sufficient jawbone density are candidates for dental implants. Dr. Rangel will perform a thorough evaluation, including CT Scan and a consultation, to determine if implants are the right option for you.
-
What is the recovery time after getting dental implants?Recovery time varies depending on individual factors, but most patients can expect: Initial healing from the implant placement surgery within a few days to a week. Complete osseointegration (bone fusing with the implant) in 3-6 months, after which the final restoration is placed. Dr. Rangel will provide specific aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
