Restore Your Smile in Houston

Why Replacing Missing Teeth Matters

When even one tooth is missing, your bite can shift, your chewing ability can decline, and remaining teeth may be overworked—leading to premature wear, fractures, or even further tooth loss. You may also begin to experience jaw pain, headaches, or even changes in your facial appearance due to bone loss.

  • Within the first year after tooth loss, patients can lose up to 25% of jawbone structure.
  • Bone loss continues progressively if left untreated.
  • Tooth replacement helps preserve both function and facial aesthetics.

Your Tooth Replacement Options to Restore Your Smile in Houston

At Elite Dental Specialists, we offer a range of tooth replacement options to help you restore your smile in Houston, TX—from temporary solutions to permanent restorations. Dr. Obeidi will help you choose the most suitable option based on your goals, oral health, and budget.

Dental Implants – The Gold Standard

  • Permanently replaces one, several, or all missing teeth

  • Preserves jawbone and facial structure

  • No impact on adjacent teeth

  • Functions like natural teeth

  • Can last a lifetime with proper care

Ideal for: Most patients missing teeth. X-rays and exams help determine eligibility.

Fixed Dental Bridge

  • Attaches artificial teeth to neighboring natural teeth (abutments)

  • Cemented in place – not removable

  • Requires grinding down adjacent teeth

Ideal for: Patients missing one or a few teeth with healthy support teeth nearby.

Removable Partial Denture

  • Metal and plastic prosthesis held in place by clips or clasps

  • Less stable than fixed options

  • Removable for cleaning and comfort

Ideal for: Patients missing multiple teeth who need a more affordable solution.

Flipper (Temporary Denture)

  • Inexpensive, plastic tooth held by a retainer

  • Temporary and fragile

  • Often used during healing after extraction or implant placement

Ideal for: Short-term cosmetic replacement while waiting for permanent solutions.

Full Dentures

  • Replace all missing teeth in the upper or lower jaw

  • Can be conventional or implant-supported

  • May require adhesives for retention

Ideal for: Patients missing all teeth or seeking affordable full-mouth restoration.

Why Dental Implants Are Preferred

Unlike bridges or dentures, dental implants are placed into the jawbone and function like natural tooth roots. This prevents bone loss, maintains your facial structure, and gives you unmatched comfort, stability, and function.

  • No adhesives
  • No damage to nearby teeth
  • Longest-lasting solution
  • Easy maintenance

Dr. Ali was amazing!!! I had been needing a canine exposure for a couple of months now, and my orthodontist had repeatedly stated that the success rate of pulling down one of my canines was 20%. When I met Dr. Ali, he was concerned, but determined. The surgery was difficult and lengthy, but he managed to do it! He was very considerate of how I was feeling before, during, and after the procedure. In addition, he also stayed in touch with me afterwards, just in case issue arose at home, and encouraged me to call him whenever needed. When I returned to my orthodontist two weeks after the surgery, she remarked that my wounds looked as if they had been healing for months! That truly showed me how exceptional Dr. Ali’s work was. I feel incredibly honored and blessed.

In this fast-paced world where everyone is moving at rocket speed, it's hard to find service providers who make you feel like you're their only customer. Such has been my experience with Elite Dental Specialists. The customer service at Elite Dental was so personalized that I often felt like, "I must be their only patient." From the moment I walked through the door for my first appointment until now, Elite Dental—from Dr. Obeidi to every member of his team—has been deeply attentive to my needs, concerns, and questions. The team has always returned my calls, responded to my text message questions, and kept me fully informed on all matters relevant to my situation. Best wishes to Elite Dental Specialists!

I saw Elite Dental Specialists on the Deborah Ducan show. I called and scheduled an appointment. The staff greeted with warth and compassion. I was full of shame, embarrassment and dentist anxiety of what someone may think of me. When Dr. Obeidi walked inn and ask me what can we do for you?; I burst into tears he spoke to me in a comforting tone to ease my stressful teary fears and I am going to give you a beautiful smile. Robert the financial assistant help me with finding the right plan that I could work with which gave confidence that I was doing the right rhing for my health The staff was very attentive to my needs. They continuously check on me throughout the entire consultation. I left there with the confidence to improve my health. Thank you Elite Dental Specialists.❣💖😍 They deserve 20 star review, Elite Dental is change lives.
