Who is a Candidate for Hybridge Dental Implants?
A consultation with Dr. Walker is necessary to determine if you are a suitable candidate for Hybridge dental implants. Generally, an ideal candidate is a healthy adult who has lost teeth due to periodontal disease, decay, or trauma. Our dental team will take a detailed medical history and images of your teeth and jaw to evaluate if implant placement is feasible. Certain medical conditions may influence the success rate for dental implants, so it is important to disclose any medications or health issues beforehand. We can discuss all available options during an appointment and explain how Hybridge dental implants can provide a secure solution for missing teeth.
How Do Hybridge Dental Implants Work?
Dr. Carolyn Walker is a Hybridge implant-certified specialist and is equipped with the skills and technologies to transform your quality of life for years to come. Implants are usually made of titanium and resemble the shape and size of your natural tooth root. Titanium is chosen because it is strong, durable, and able to fuse to the bone over time. Dental implants are ideal for people who have lost teeth due to periodontal disease, decay, injury, and other issues. Dr. Walker will take a CT scan of your jaw and teeth to determine the exact dimensions of your existing bone and identify where the nerves and sinuses are before placing your custom-made implant. If there is not enough existing bone available, a bone grafting material may be needed. During your procedure at Pipe Creek Dental Center, the implants are inserted into your numbed jaw. Healing from implant surgery can range from a few weeks to several months, depending on the complexity of your case. After you have healed, you will enjoy a healthy, functioning implant that can last for up to ten years as long as you practice a good dental hygiene routine and get regular dental exams with Dr. Walker.
Pipe Creek Dental Center Reviews
I cannot say enough nice things about this practice. They are responsive, knowledgeable, and most of all, KIND. I used to be afraid of and avoided the dentist, resulting in me needing some extensive work done. They were not judgmental, and just set about getting me fixed up. Both dentists are awesome (hope I never get asked to pick a favorite!), Kaylee is so gentle yet thorough with her cleaning, and Tori is a ray of sunshine every time I’m there. Elise was with me for my afternoon-long procedure and she made it more bearable with her kindness and attention. Save yourself a drive to a big-city dentist and get to know this local gem of a practice!
Very pleased with my first visit, everyone was so friendly and accommodating.
My visits to Pipe Creek Dental Center have always been welcoming, friendly, and professional. Tori always greets me with a pleasant smile and we talk about my flock of chickens until Kaylee calls me back for my cleaning. While Kaylee performs my cleaning, she clearly communicates with me her process to get my pearly whites looking great. Afterwards, she offers helpful tips and patiently answers all of my questions before heading back to the lobby to wrap up my visit with Tori. I cannot recommend Pipe Creek Dental Center enough. From the front desk, the hygienist, and dentists, it's always a wonderful experience!
I have suffered with dental issues for a good portion of my adult life. I've been to many dentist in my lifetime. I've been to ones that are nothing more than insurance and Medicaid mills that are scamming as much money as they can. And I've been to ones that do work that does not last. And then I found pipe Creek dental! Dr Williamson is the absolute best! Her expertise along with her bedside manner is top notch. She listens and talks with you like you're a person and not just another number in the bank account. And then to top it off her staff, like Tori, are absolutely amazing! They communicate with you and will even send you text reminding you that you have your appointment. Which I found very helpful on days that I was forgetting that I had an appointment. I cannot recommend this dental office enough. Thank you to everybody at Pipe Creek dental for the most amazing dental experience I've ever had. Nothing but love for these amazing people!
This place has been amazing!! They take great care of their patients. The staff and Dr are so friendly!! Very very grateful for such a wonderful dentist so close to home. Highly recommend checking this place out next time you need a dentist.

What to Expect After Hybridge Dental Implants
Recovery time from the procedure is typically minimal as most of our patients are able to return to their typical daily lives within a matter of days. In some cases, some light bruising could cause discomfort, but this is not unexpected and will subside naturally. Once the mouth heals, patients will also be free to resume eating the foods they love. However, while Hybridge dental implants are designed with this in mind and are much stronger than other alternatives, there can be some limitations. In general, we do not recommend patients eat foods that require "crushing." This could be hard nuts, ice, bones, hard candies, or popcorn kernels. Eating these types of foods could cause the new teeth to fracture or break and will require a replacement.

Hybridge Dental Implants FAQs
How long will my implants last?
If properly maintained, we are happy to say that your hybridge dental implants should last for life. In order to care for your implants, we strongly recommend sticking to your dental visits and maintaining proper dental hygiene at home. Studies show that individuals with hybridge implants demonstrate a very high success rate in the longevity of their implants.
What exactly are Hybridge dental implants?
Hybridge dental implants merge the benefits of dentures with the permanency of implants. These implants are ideal for replacing an entire row, or a grouping, of missing or damaged teeth. These prosthetics are a permanent solution to mouths that have some teeth missing but do not need full dentures.
Why choose Hybridge implants over traditional implants?
Individuals who are interested in hybridge implants should ensure that they have a sufficient amount of jaw bone for this procedure. However, hybridge implants require less jaw bone than traditional implants. Discuss the various nuances of implant options with your practitioner at Pipe Creek Dental Center in your consultation appointment.
How long after the implant surgery must I wait until I can go back to work?
For many patients, jumping back into their usual activities takes just a few days. While discomfort tends to be low for the majority, it's important to remember that everyone's recovery experience differs. Patients might notice some bruising, which could influence how quickly you feel comfortable returning to work or social activities. Generally, taking a short break of 3 - 5 days is often sufficient to confidently resume a full schedule.
Will I ever have to go without teeth during the process?
In many situations, you'll have the option to wear a temporary denture while undergoing treatment. This choice can provide a pleasing appearance, but it's worth noting that your eating and functional abilities might be somewhat restricted with the denture(s) in place.
I grind my teeth, will I grind my new Hybridge teeth?
Correcting a bad bite often leads to decreased teeth grinding, yet changing long-standing habits can be challenging. Individuals with a history of bruxing (teeth grinding) may find that their Hybridge teeth require more maintenance over time due to wear. However, the advantage of Hybridge teeth is that they can typically be restored within a week, often at a lower cost than the price of a single crown.
