Nothing is as strong as a natural tooth. But when one is lost, a dental implant is the next best thing: a titanium root placed in the jaw, topped with a porcelain crown that looks, feels and works like the tooth it replaces. Gone are the days of loose dentures and bridges that grind down healthy teeth.
What makes our Frisco office different is who does the work. Dr. Natalia Ovcharenko, a board-certified periodontist, places the implant. Dr. Victoria Ortiz-Parsons, a prosthodontist, designs and fits the tooth. Two specialists, one plan, one office.
From one tooth to a whole smile, there is an implant solution for every situation.
An implant with a porcelain crown replaces the tooth and its root, without touching the neighbouring teeth.
Two implants can support a bridge that replaces three or four teeth in a row, or anchor a partial denture.
Implants lock a denture in place so it never slips, or replace it with a fixed bridge you never take out.
All-on-4 replaces every tooth in the upper or lower jaw with a fixed bridge on four implants, fitted the same day.
Learn moreDr. Ovcharenko checks your health and gums and takes X-rays and a 3D CBCT scan of the site. Dr. Ortiz-Parsons examines your bite and plans the new tooth. You tell us how you want your smile to look; everything is planned around that end result.
Under local anesthesia and sedation if you choose, Dr. Ovcharenko places the titanium implant. Recovery is usually easier than after a tooth extraction. You get a temporary tooth while the bone heals around the implant over three to four months.
Dr. Ortiz-Parsons takes a digital impression and our trusted lab crafts the crown. For front teeth, a temporary crown first shapes the gum so the final tooth looks like it grows from it. Three to four weeks later, your porcelain crown is fitted.
Cleanings every three to six months keep the implant and the gum around it healthy. Looked after, implants last for decades.
It is a process, and we plan it carefully. We want your new teeth to last as long as possible.
Surgery and restoration are two specialties. You get both, side by side.
Natalia Ovcharenko, DDS, MSD
Board-certified periodontist and implant surgeon
Known to patients as Dr. O. She treats gum disease and recession, places dental implants and performs extractions and bone grafting, with LANAP laser therapy and sedation for comfort.
Victoria E. Ortiz-Parsons, DDS, MS
Prosthodontist and cosmetic specialist
The specialist who designs and restores smiles: veneers, crowns, implant teeth, dentures and full-mouth rehabilitation, planned around your face and bite.
Every case below was completed in our office. Photos are of actual patients.
Porcelain or zirconia crowns on implants are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth.
Research shows a 10-year success rate above 97 percent. With good care, implants serve for decades.
Dentures press on the bone and shrink it over time. Implants stimulate the bone and keep it, and your face, from changing shape.
No dietary restrictions. Implant teeth chew almost as efficiently as natural teeth.
Nothing slips or clicks. Implant-supported teeth stay firmly in place.
Unlike a bridge, an implant needs no support from the teeth beside it, so they stay untouched.
Implants are excellent, but your own teeth are still better. Brush, floss and keep your checkups so we can help you keep the teeth you have.
“My experience with Dr O and her team was outstanding. The entire team was welcoming, resourceful, and genuinely caring.”
“Dr. O made my initial visit and probing very tolerable, and I was so impressed with how comfortable I was talking with her.”
“After putting off gum grafting for years I was incredibly lucky to find Dr. O and her amazing staff. From the initial discussion she was thorough and professional, taking time to answer all of my questions.”
Typically four to six months from placement to final crown, most of it healing time while the bone bonds to the implant. If a tooth must be removed or bone grafted first, add a few months. You are never without a tooth: we provide a temporary while you heal.
The placement is done under local anesthesia, and nitrous oxide, oral or IV sedation is available. Most patients say recovery is easier than a tooth extraction, with mild soreness for a few days.
Often, yes. Gum disease is treated first so the implant has a healthy foundation, and Dr. Ovcharenko performs bone grafting and sinus lifts when more bone is needed. A CBCT scan shows exactly what is possible.
The cost depends on how many teeth you are replacing, whether grafting is needed and the type of restoration. You receive a written estimate after your consultation. Many PPO plans cover part of the treatment, and CareCredit and Lending Club financing is available.
The surgeon who places the implant and the prosthodontist who designs the tooth plan your case together, from the start. Nothing is lost between offices, the implant is positioned for the tooth it will carry, and you are not sent across town for each step.
Brush and floss it like a natural tooth and keep your professional cleanings, every three to six months depending on your gum health. Implants cannot decay, but the gum around them can become inflamed if plaque builds up.
Most PPO plans accepted. Discounts for patients without insurance, and monthly payment plans through CareCredit and Lending Club.
