Osseointegration
Traditional crowns and removable dentures only address part of the problem. Without your tooth's natural roots to stimulate your jawbone tissue, the area will deteriorate. Dental implants directly solve that issue.
Implants are small titanium or ceramic screws that act as artificial tooth roots. For the ultimate security, they fuse to your bone during a process called osseointegration.
As a result, your restorations won't budge a millimeter, giving you renewed functionality. Plus, implants typically last a lifetime, making them an excellent long-term investment in your oral health.
Restoration Options
Patients may need a single tooth replaced for a multitude of reasons, like advanced tooth decay, a severe root canal infection, or dental trauma. We offer high-quality same-day crowns, so that you don't have to wait as long to complete your smile.
Implant-supported bridges are often a superior option to traditional bridges. That's because they're secured by dental implants, as opposed to being attached to crowns placed over the adjacent natural teeth. This helps us preserve dental tissue.
Implant-supported dentures aren't the slipping, sliding dentures of the past. Unlike traditional dentures, dentures supported by titanium implants are secured in place. They give our Waco and Hewitt patients greater freedom, functionality, and confidence.

Advanced Technology
for Predictable Results
At Central Texas Dental Care, we believe that technology is only as valuable as the results it helps us achieve for our patients. That's why our Waco team has invested in advanced tools that allow us to plan and place dental implants with the highest level of precision.
Our Hewitt office features cone beam 3D CT imaging, which gives us a complete view of your jawbone. With this information, Dr. Sager and our implant team can design your treatment down to the finest detail. We also use computer-guided surgery and 3D-printed surgical guides to ensure that every implant is positioned for maximum stability and long-term comfort.
In addition to planning, we have technology that streamlines the process. Though not every patient qualifies for immediate placement, we may use our in-house CEREC® system to create a durable, natural-looking crown on the same day as your procedure. We exclusively place BioHorizons implants, a trusted brand known for its strong, biocompatible titanium implants and innovative designs that encourage healthy bone integration.
From start to finish, our focus on technology is about giving you reliable outcomes and a smoother, more comfortable experience.
Nervous About Treatment?
Explore Sedation Options for Comfortable Treatment
We understand that dental implant surgery can feel intimidating. That's why our office serving Waco and Hewitt provides a full range of sedation options to help you feel at ease.
For patients with mild anxiety, we offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas), which helps you relax while still being awake and responsive. If you need deeper relaxation, oral conscious sedation allows you to take a prescribed medication before your procedure so you can enter a calm, twilight state. For patients who want the deepest level of comfort, our team is also trained to provide IV sedation, which delivers medication directly into the bloodstream for a faster, more controlled effect.
With these options, you can choose the level of support that feels right for you. Many of our patients report little to no memory of their procedure and are surprised by how smooth the process feels. When combined with Dr. Sager’s extensive training and gentle approach, sedation makes the dental implant procedure a stress-free step toward restoring your smile.
Common Preparatory Treatments We Conduct Before Implant Placement
Are you considering dental implants in Waco, but concerned you may not be a candidate? Our dentists may be able to restore your oral health and improve your implant candidacy status with supplementary treatments. Popular options at our Waco office include:
All-on-4 Implants An Advanced Solution for Denture Wearers
If you are missing all of your teeth in the upper or lower jaw, we offer All-on-4®, a streamlined alternative to traditional dental implants that can support an entire denture with just four implants. For the right candidates, All-on-4 offers some distinct advantages:
Avoid bone grafting: If you have experienced some jaw atrophy, you may be able to receive All-on-4 without a bone graft. That's because the two posterior implants are placed at angles to maximize contact with existing bone tissue, often eliminating the need for a bone graft.
Less invasive treatment: A full-arch denture can require six to eight traditional implants in the upper and lower jaw. With All-on-4, you only need four implants per dental arch to support a denture.
Get your implant-supported denture immediately: Traditional implants will need time to integrate with your jaw before they can support your denture. All-on-4 can support your denture right away. However, you will need to wait for your jaw to heal before you can experience the full benefits of treatment (such as being able to eat rare steaks or bite into apples).
FAQ About Dental Implants in Waco, TX
If you're looking for dental implants in Waco, we invite you to explore these fast answers to common questions to help you prepare for your consultation. Our Hewitt team will take all the time needed to answer your questions and help you make an informed decision.
How long do implants last?
Quality implants placed by a board-certified implantologist can last 40 years or longer. Choosing a qualified provider who uses advanced technology during the planning stages can help you get the most out of your treatment. At CTDC, we take every measure to give you long-lasting results. While your crown, bridge, or dentures may need to be replaced about every 10 years, the implants could last the rest of your life.
Does dental insurance cover dental implants?
Some plans cover implants, but many do not. Most plans will cover some parts of treatment, such as your crown, bridge, or dentures. You can rely on our staff to help you get maximum coverage for your treatment. Any remaining costs can be covered using our in-house payment plans or financing through CareCredit, a third-party lender offering low-interest and interest-free plans.
Do dental implants hurt?
We provide local anesthesia and optional sedation to help you remain absolutely comfortable throughout implant placement surgery. You can expect some swelling and mild discomfort during recovery that can be easily managed with over-the-counter pain meds.
How do I maintain my implants?
Caring for implant-supported restorations is just like caring for your natural teeth. Brush twice a day, floss at least once daily, and visit your dentist every six months for a checkup. It's easy!
