Missing teeth affect far more than just the way your smile looks. Chewing certain foods can become difficult, speaking clearly may feel awkward, and over time, empty spaces in your mouth can cause nearby teeth to shift out of place. Even more concerning, untreated tooth loss often leads to bone loss in your jaw, which can weaken your entire bite and create additional dental problems down the road. On top of all that, many people find that missing teeth make them feel self-conscious in everyday conversations or social settings.
At Dental Depot in Mustang, we offer advanced dental implant solutions designed to restore both your oral health and your confidence. Unlike dentures or dental bridges that only replace the visible portion of a tooth, dental implants replace the entire tooth structure — including the root — helping preserve your jawbone and keep your facial structure intact. With the help of advanced technology, experienced dental professionals, and flexible financing options, we make it easy to get a stable, natural-looking solution that allows you to eat, speak, and smile with complete confidence.
At Dental Depot in Mustang, we know that losing teeth affects far more than just how your smile looks. Tooth loss can make eating your favorite foods difficult, cause speech issues, and leave you feeling self-conscious in everyday situations. Beyond appearance, untreated gaps can lead to jawbone deterioration, shifting teeth, and a higher risk of future dental complications. That’s why choosing the right tooth replacement solution in Mustang is so important for protecting your long-term oral health.
For many patients, dental implants offer the most complete and lasting solution. Unlike bridges or removable dentures that only replace the visible portion of a tooth, our dental implants in Mustang replace the full tooth structure—root and crown. The implant integrates with your jawbone, helping maintain bone health and prevent the bone loss that often comes with missing teeth. This allows you to maintain the natural shape of your face and enjoy a stronger, more stable bite.

While dentures and bridges have long been used to replace missing teeth, they often come with limitations. Dentures can shift, feel uncomfortable, or require adhesives to stay in place, while bridges rely on neighboring teeth for support, which can weaken otherwise healthy teeth over time. Neither option addresses one of the biggest long-term concerns with tooth loss — jawbone deterioration.
Dental implants offer a more advanced, permanent solution. By placing the implant directly into the jawbone, we replicate the role of a natural tooth root, helping to stimulate the bone and prevent bone loss. This not only preserves the strength and structure of your jaw but also provides unmatched stability for your replacement teeth, so they feel secure and function like your natural teeth.
Unlike traditional dentures or bridges that may need to be replaced after a few years, dental implants are designed for longevity — often lasting decades with proper care. Each implant consists of a small titanium post that fuses naturally with your jawbone, topped with a custom-designed crown crafted to blend seamlessly with the rest of your smile.
At Dental Depot in Mustang, we use state-of-the-art tools like 3D cone beam imaging and computer-guided implant placement to ensure precision and comfort throughout the entire process. From your first consultation to your final crown placement, we make the entire dental implant experience in Mustang personalized, efficient, and focused on long-term success — so you can smile confidently for years to come.

You don’t have to go on living with missing teeth. Implant dentistry makes it possible to surgically replace missing teeth with new prosthetic teeth that look, feel and perform like natural teeth.
Tooth replacement options such as fixed bridges and dentures offer only limited relief from the side effects of tooth loss. They also can have side effects of their own, such as the need to replace bridges in order to avoid bone loss, or an uncomfortable fit with dentures.
Dental implants are different. Dental implants do more than simply replace missing teeth above the gum line. They also act as an anchor below the gum line and stimulate the bone just like natural teeth would. Plus, dental implants are durable, lasting 10 to 15 years longer than other prosthetic options.
A dental implant replaces the lost roots of teeth. Overlooked by other prosthetics (which only replace the visible crowns of teeth), the roots of teeth are very important for maintaining healthy bone mass. Once a tooth is lost, bone is left unstimulated. Because dental implants are made from a strong and bio-compatible titanium, the bone surrounding the implant will generate new tissue and integrate to the implant. As the implant stabilizes, a permanent prosthetic such as a dental crown or series of dental crowns (a bridge) can be attached to an abutment that slightly protrudes through the gums.
Once the prosthetic is secured to the implant, a patient’s smile is beautifully restored with a very natural looking and functioning tooth replacement. The entire process from implant to placement of the crown typically takes six months to complete, although this can vary based on individual treatment needs.
Dental implants offer unique advantages when compared to other tooth replacement options. First, stabilized implants are very durable and long lasting. Unlike dentures, a dental implant can hold prosthetics firmly for decades, if not the rest of a person’s life. This durability is important for restoring oral function, too, because implants allow patients to eat a full diet of even difficult to chew foods. Dentures tend to become ill fitting over time, while dental implants won’t.
Dental implants also are low maintenance. Unlike dentures, which require removal for cleaning, or bridges that might need water irrigation underneath their crowns, dental implants are cleaned by brushing and flossing, just like your natural teeth.

Dental implants are one of the most durable tooth replacement options, primarily because they are anchored below the gumline and fuse with the bone in the jaw. They tend to last 10 to 15 years longer than alternative options and rarely, if ever, require replacement.
An implant refers to a tiny titanium screw that is placed in the jaw below the gumline; it acts as an artificial tooth root. The implant is then covered by an abutment and a crown, with the crown serving as the artificial tooth.
While a dental implant cannot get a cavity or tooth decay, you should still care for them as you would your natural teeth and for several reasons. First, you are still susceptible to gingivitis, gum disease, and infection, even with implants, and secondly, you still need to protect any remaining natural teeth you may have.
Even with dental implants, good dental hygiene practices are essential for long term oral health and overall well being. Daily brushing and flossing are essential to caring for both your implants and your natural teeth, as are bi-annual visits to the dentist, which can also serve as an opportunity to detect early signs of peri-implantitis, a form of gum disease specific to the bone and tissue around dental implants.
Bone grafting, a surgical procedure in which healthy bone is transplanted to rebuild or repair damaged or diseased bone, is not always necessary for patients undergoing dental implant surgery, but it is fairly common. Bone grafting is most often necessary when a patient doesn’t have enough natural bone in their jaw to support dental implants. It can take anywhere from four to six months to even eight months to a year for bone grafts to heal.
If you require bone grafting before dental implant surgery, your specialist will walk you through the various types of grafts and make a recommendation on which graft is most appropriate for you, then schedule your implant surgery based on the timeline for your bone graft procedure and healing. Once the bone graft has healed, you can proceed with your dental implant surgery procedure.
Dental implants have a nearly 98% success rate for most patients and with proper care, can last a lifetime without needing replacement.
Dental Depot Oklahoma is one of only a few offices that uses CBCT technology to increase positive outcomes for dental implant surgery. CBCT technology allows the dentist to take a 3D image of your mouth, which offers important information about the implant site or sites, including precise bone measurements, insights on the quality of the bone, placement of blood vessels and nerves, and the existence of any abnormalities which might impact the procedure. By gathering all of this specific data before even starting the procedure, our dental implant surgeries are even more reliable and accurate.
