I started my dental implants treatment at a seemingly "qualified" dental implant office off of highway 6 (close to my house). Twenty days after the first surgery, one of the implants just came out. Now, the oral surgeon tells me that it is "my" fault and that "I" will now need more treatment to correct and it will cost "me" more money. I just had a bad feeling in my stomach so I asked around, and did extensive researched, to find a true comprehensive dental implant center. I was absolutely astonished at how many professional referrals pointed to one place - Dentiq's Dental Implants In Houston. When I made my first appointment, they recommended that I bring my conebeam 3d scan with me and any additional diagnostic information such as x-rays, stents and the implant guided surgery plan??? I asked them to clarify what they were asking for as they took the time to explain... the diagnostic conebeam 3d image enables the implant specialist to precisely plan, predict and implement the implant process. I called my other dentist to ask them if they had any of this on record. They simply told me "no," and that those things are only done inside the medical center. I demanded to talk to my dentist their as he informed me that all that extra stuff is unnecessary. When I came to learn what all of this extra stuff provides, I was floored that there are dental offices out there that DO offer dental and denture implants but DO NOT require, nor have, the technology to offer this standard of care.

I arrived at my first appointment at Dentiq, I met with the dental implant surgeon (Dr. Hanna), the cosmetic restorative dentist (Dr. Johnson), the iv / oral sedation dentist (I forgot his name) and the treatment plan coordinator (Brian). They walked me next door to take a 3d scan. We learned that I had an abscess over the tooth where the dental implant came out. Additionally, I had another abscess over another implant that the "other" office had placed which was sure to fail in due time. When you can actually see the 3d scan, you can see all the information it provides and you will not believe that "other" offices do not demand this critical piece of information before doing the surgery. Dentiq took the time, and they had the complete skill set, and they had the technology to accurately plan, predict and treat me like a true implant center should. Yes, it did cost me more than I had expected (approximately ten percent more) but in return, I got peace of mind and I got exactly what I had paid for. It has been eight months since Dentiq finished my treatment and I have had no problems. In fact, I am all smiles and now I am huge advocate for doing extensive research before making any significant treatment decision. If you live in Katy, Sugar Land, The Woodlands or in a surrounding area of Houston, I highly recommend looking into a true treatment center for implant, restorative and cosmetic dentistry where the complete treatment team can, and will, take accountability to take great care of you. My treatment was extensive and I was presented with the sedation option to receive oral conscious sedation or IV (general anesthesia) sedation. I opted for IV sedation as they completed the majority of my treatment while I was totally sleeping. While I remain disappointed with my "other" dental office, I wanted to be sure to share this experience and hopefully influence and inspires those seeking specialized dental services, such as implants, do the due diligence to find yourself in good hands. Forever grateful,
