Implants
What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a permanent solution for patients seeking that perfect white smile. Implants are a great choice for patients that have broken, damaged, or missing teeth. Implants act similar to an artificial tooth that is placed in the jawbone. They are extremely durable, and are built to last upwards of 25 years.


Dental implants function like our natural teeth, and allow patients to speak and eat normally. They are comfortable in the mouth, and do not cause gum or mouth irritation like with other restorative solutions. Implants provide long lasting results, and if cared for properly they can last a lifetime.

What Are the Benefits of Dental Implants?
  • Preserve the natural bone in the mouth, and help to stimulate new bone growth.
  • Implants are durable, and provide long term value financially compared to other restorative solutions.
  • Dental implants are permanent, and do not slip or click like other solutions.
  • Implants are comfortable, and look and feel natural in the mouth.
  • Implants can last upwards of 25 years, or a lifetime if they are cared for properly.
  • Dental Implants restore full chewing power, and are as strong as natural teeth.

What to Expect During the Dental Implant Process?

The dental implants process requires multiple appointments in our office. We require a consultation with each patient to discuss any goals, and to determine the best treatment plan. Once we are ready to begin the implant process, the first step involves placing the implant into the jawbone. After this step is complete there is a healing process that must occur.


The healing period allows the implant time to fuse to the jawbone through a process called osseointegration. This allows the implant to function like a natural tooth root in the mouth. In order for the implant to remain sturdy, and provide the required support, the patient must have enough bone present in the jaw. If necessary, bone grafts can be done to provide the additional support that is needed.


Once the healing process is complete, the patient returns to our office to complete the implant process. An abutment or connector is placed on top of the implant, and this holds the crown securely in place. Custom crowns are made to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth. Temporary crowns may be necessary until patients return to have the permanent crown installed.

Dr. Travis Campbell

I was born a Texan and love it! I decided to become a dentist at the age of 3, always my goal, and still my passion.


I graduated from Baylor College of Dentistry here in the Dallas area. Before graduating, I built a vision and business plan for 380 Family Dentistry.


Prosper was still early in its growth phase, and at the time there were cows living across highway 380 from our first office! As Prosper has flourished, grown and gained a great reputation, so have we. At 380 Family Dentistry, we have patients referred not only from Frisco and McKinney, but from surrounding cities all over Collin County!

Hi, I’m Dr. Maryam Fazal, and I’m excited to be part of the 380 Family Dentistry Team!

I’m definitely a Texan, raised for the most part in the Dallas area. I earned my DDS degree from the University of Pittsburg, then returned to Texas to complete a hospital-based residency at UT Health Science Center in Houston and begin practicing dentistry back in my hometown! I’ve worked at several dental practices in the greater Dallas area over the past 5 years, providing me the opportunity to treat all age groups and types of dental situations. I’m happy to be near family and enjoying life with my husband and new baby daughter, Zara.

Above all, I’ve learned that what’s most important to me is to make you, the patient, feel welcome and not afraid of being in the dental chair. Coming to a dental office can be daunting for some, and I’m proud of anyone who can overcome their fear and take the positive steps to receive oral care. I promise that I will be here to guide you through every step of the process, answering all questions you may have along the way.

I am proud to be part of a family-oriented practice like 380 Family Dentistry and I can’t wait to get to know you!

What Are Implant Secured Dentures?

If you’re having a lot of trouble with an ill-fitting denture, you might benefit from an implant-secured denture. These dentures, which are sometimes referred to as overdentures, clip onto implants that are placed into the jawbone. These implants fuse naturally with the jawbone and can last for decades. A smaller denture is made specifically for you to fit over the dentures, preventing the need for adhesives, creams and gels.

Why Are Implant Secured Dentures Needed?

Implant-secured dentures are a great way to prevent your appliance from slipping or falling out. There is probably nothing more embarrassing to a denture patient than for their prosthesis to slip while they’re talking or eating. For other patients, they may find that their denture simply doesn’t sit right and is uncomfortable throughout the day. In either case, an overdenture can be made to clip onto implants that are strategically placed around an entire arch within the mouth.

Who is a Candidate for Implant Secured Dentures?

In order for the implants to heal correctly, you need enough solid and healthy bone in the area they’re going to be placed. If you are lacking bone in these areas, a bone graft can be beneficial in filling in the areas and preventing the implants from failing. Most patients who want an overdenture are good candidates for the actual procedure. Your new implants can last for decades, but the denture itself will need to be replaced in about 10 years.

What Happens During the Procedure for Implant Secured Dentures?

The procedure begins by placing the actual implants. This is done by creating an incision through the soft tissue and then creating a tunnel into the bone. The titanium implant is placed and the process is repeated for the next implant. Most often, four or more implants are needed per arch to keep a full denture in place. You will then have a new denture made for you after taking impressions. The denture is fitted onto the implants and can be removed to clean at your own discretion.
