A Life-Changing Solution Within Reach

We believe that a life-changing smile should be accessible. To help you take this incredible step, we are proud to offer a comprehensive special for our full-arch implant patients.

Your Entire Journey, All in One Place

Being referred between different specialists means handing off your care from one doctor to the other and back again. At Desoto Family Dentistry, we’ve removed that stress.

With over 15 years of advanced implant training, Dr. Varkey personally handles your entire journey right here in our office. From your first consultation and 3D-guided planning to your final, permanent smile, you will be cared for by the same familiar, trusted team. There are no hand-offs and no outside referrals, just one team dedicated to your care from start to finish.

Your Three-Step Path to a Forever Smile

A lot goes into creating your new smile, and while you dream of that final reveal, we’ll be doing a lot in the background to make your next smile its best one yet. At a glance, we can break it into 3 steps, shown below.

• Step 1: Your Consultation & Treatment Planning Our process begins with expert planning. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your oral health and use 3D imaging to map out the healthiest, strongest bone in your mouth. This allows us to create a personalized treatment plan and ensure every detail is carefully prepared before your procedure.
  
  
• Step 2: Your New Smile (Procedure Day) Upon returning for your procedure, you will be comfortably placed under sedation to create a relaxed and stress-free experience throughout your treatment. Your remaining extractions will be completed with precision and care, followed by the placement of four strategically positioned dental implants. These implants will immediately support a beautifully crafted, functional, and natural-looking hybrid prosthesis designed to restore both aesthetics and confidence.
  
  You will leave our office the same day with a complete smile—allowing you to enjoy renewed comfort, function, and the appearance of natural teeth.
  
  
• Step 3: Your Forever Smile (The Final Restoration) After your implants have fully integrated and healed (known as osseointegration), you’ll return for your final upgrade: a custom-milled zirconia arch. This final restoration is the gold standard. It’s metal-free, incredibly durable, and has a luster and feel that is the closest you can get to natural teeth. It’s a stronger, more aesthetically superior smile designed to last a lifetime.

Have You Been Told “No” in the Past?

Many patients who need full-arch implants have been told they have too much bone loss or aren’t good candidates. This isn’t the end of your smile’s journey. There’s hope.

Dr. Varkey specializes in finding solutions for complex cases. We can customize your healing process, and procedures like bone grafting can often create the foundation needed for a successful outcome. Your journey starts with a conversation, where we will listen, evaluate your unique situation, and build a customized plan together.

Let’s Talk About Your Options

We understand that this is a significant emotional and financial investment. We also know that cost factors and financing questions can be a major source of anxiety.

Our team is here to be your partner. We will sit down with you to explain all your options, help you understand your insurance benefits, and walk you through available financing plans. Our job is to help you find a comfortable and clear path forward so you can get the care you deserve.

Ready to Take the First Step?

You’ve lived with dental discomfort and frustration for long enough. Your journey to a confident, healthy, and permanent smile starts with a simple, no-pressure conversation.

Give us a call today at 972-223-8844 to schedule your consultation. We can’t wait to show you what’s possible and help you get back to smiling with confidence.

Your Reliable Fix for a Missing Tooth

A missing tooth puts more pressure on the teeth around it than most people realise. Over time, neighbouring teeth shift, your bite changes, and what started as one problem becomes several. 

A dental bridge closes that gap before it gets to that point. It’s a fixed, reliable solution that restores your bite and your smile without surgery or a lengthy process. If you’re missing one tooth or a few in a row, it’s worth a conversation.

When a Missing Tooth Starts Affecting More Than Your Smile

Most people wait longer than they meant to. Not because they do not care, but because they are unsure what is actually necessary. It’s not just about how things look. A missing tooth can slowly change how your mouth functions day to day. This could look like:

1. Food gets harder to chew
2. Your bite can start to feel off
3. Nearby teeth begin to shift
4. Small gaps turn into bigger problems over time

A Simple Way to Fill the Space

A dental bridge does exactly what it sounds like. It fills the gap left by a missing tooth.

It is made up of:

1. A replacement tooth that sits in the space
2. Support on either side to hold it in place

Once it is in, it stays there. You do not take it out. You do not have to rethink your routine. It just becomes part of your smile again.

Why Many People Choose a Bridge

There are a few reasons bridges make sense for a lot of patients:

1. You want something fixed and stable
2. You are missing one or a few teeth
3. You prefer a simpler option than surgery
4. You want to restore function without a long process

Most importantly, it is a solution that feels practical. It solves the problem without adding unnecessary complexity.

Care You Can Take At Face Value

Dr. Varkey believes that good care starts with a good conversation. If you need treatment, we will explain why. If you have options, we will walk you through each one. And if something is not necessary, we will be upfront about that too.

Every patient is different, and the right solution for one person may not be the right solution for another. We take the time to understand your situation, explain what we find, and help you feel confident in whatever direction you choose.

Done Adjusting Around A Missing Tooth?

Most people adjust to missing teeth without realizing how much it is affecting them. Eating differently. Smiling less. Avoiding certain situations. You do not have to keep doing that.

If you are ready to fix the gap in a way that feels simple and makes sense, our team would love to help you take that next step.

Frequently Asked Questions

When a tooth is missing, it often feels like you have to plan your life around it. You might skip your favorite crunchy foods or find yourself hesitating to speak up in a conversation. It becomes a persistent distraction that keeps you from being yourself.

Choosing DeSoto Family Dentistry means you gain a reliable solution that stays in place and functions like your own. Dr. Varkey works closely with you from the start to ensure your experience is smooth and predictable. We want to help you reach a place where you no longer have to think twice about your teeth.

The Step-by-Step Path to Your New Smile

Understanding the timeline helps make your experience feel predictable and manageable. Each phase is handled gently to ensure you remain comfortable throughout the journey.

• Initial Evaluation: Digital scans and a thorough exam help determine the most straightforward path for your care. Every detail is explained without complex jargon so you know exactly what to expect.
• Building the Foundation: A small, sturdy post is carefully placed to serve as a new root for your tooth. Your comfort is the primary focus during this visit, and the team works at a pace that helps you feel relaxed.
• Natural Bonding: Time is allowed for the post to bond naturally with your jawbone. This phase is what creates the dependable strength and stability you need for a permanent result.
• Completing Your Smile: A custom-made crown is attached once the foundation is fully secure. This final step restores the natural look of your teeth and gives you back full chewing power.

A Commitment to Doing Right by You

Your well-being is the focus of every decision made in our office. Dr. Varkey is a graduate of the New York University College of Dentistry and has dedicated years to advanced training in restorative, aesthetic, and implant care to ensure your results are both natural-looking and lasting. 

Take the Next Step Toward a Healthy Smile

You do not have to settle for the limitations of missing teeth. Whether you need to replace a single tooth or are looking for a more secure alternative to dentures, we are here to help.

Reach out to our team today to learn how we can support your dental goals.

What are Dentures?

Dentures are custom-made replacements for missing teeth that are designed to look, feel, and function like your natural teeth. They can help:

• Restore your beautiful smile
• Improve your ability to chew and speak
• Support your facial structure and prevent a “sunken in” appearance
• Boost your confidence and self-esteem

Types of Dentures to Suit Your Needs

We offer a range of denture options to meet your individual needs and preferences.

Partial Dentures

If you’re missing only a few teeth, partial dentures can be a great solution to restoring your smile to a full and complete aesthetic. They are designed to fit snugly around your remaining teeth and “anchor” in place, filling in the gaps and restoring your smile.

Complete Dentures

When all of your teeth are missing, complete dentures can replace an entire arch (upper or lower) of teeth to give you back the ability to chew your favorite foods and smile with confidence. They provide a natural-looking and comfortable solution for full tooth loss.

Implant-Supported Dentures

For the most secure and stable fit, implant-supported dentures are an excellent choice. These dentures attach to small dental implants, providing a strong foundation for your new teeth and preventing any slippage or movement.

Why Choose DeSoto Family Dentistry for Your Dentures?

At DeSoto Family Dentistry, we’re passionate about reinventing and improving not only smiles, but the quality of life for all our patients. We’ll proudly provide you with personalized care and high-quality dentures that fit comfortably and look just like the real thing!

We’ll work closely with you to understand your needs and goals, discuss any concerns you may have upfront, and guide you through every step of the denture process.

When Is a Dental Crown the Answer?

A custom dental crown can be the perfect way to get your smile back to feeling healthy and looking great, solving issues with both the function and appearance of a tooth. Our team might recommend one for you in several common situations, especially if your tooth:

• Is significantly worn down, cracked, or broken.
• Has a large, old filling and needs extra support.
• Is weakened after a root canal procedure.
• Is severely discolored and won’t respond to whitening.
• Needs to anchor a dental bridge in place.
• Is the final step in completing a dental implant.

Your Journey to a Restored Smile

Creating a high-quality, custom crown that fits perfectly is a process we handle with great care. Your journey with us will involve two comfortable visits to our DeSoto office.

Visit One: Preparing Your Tooth & Designing Your Crown

First, we’ll make sure you are completely numb and comfortable. Dr. Varkey will gently reshape the damaged tooth to create the ideal foundation for the crown. Next, we’ll take a precise digital impression, which our trusted dental lab will use to craft your beautiful, permanent crown. You’ll leave this first visit with a protective temporary crown that allows you to eat and smile normally.

The Final Step: Your Permanent Crown

The goal of your second visit is that wonderful feeling of having a strong, complete smile again. Your permanent crown, carefully crafted by our lab partners to blend in beautifully, will be ready for you. We’ll bond it securely into place and then fine-tune every detail until it feels like it has always been there. Our final check ensures your bite is comfortable and you’re ready to leave feeling whole and confident.

Designed With You in Mind

Because every smile is unique, this is a decision we’ll make together. We’ll chat about where the new crown will be in your mouth and what your goals are, helping you choose an option that offers the strength you need and a look you’ll absolutely love.

• Porcelain Crowns: Ideal for teeth in your “smile zone,” porcelain is expertly shaded and shaped to blend seamlessly with your neighboring teeth. No one will ever know it’s not your natural tooth.
• Gold & Noble Metal Crowns: Known for their incredible strength and durability, these crowns are an excellent choice for back molars that withstand heavy chewing forces.

Ready to Reclaim Your Confident Smile?

You don’t have to put up with the discomfort or self-consciousness of a damaged tooth. The team at Desoto Family Dentistry is here to provide a solution that not only protects your oral health but also helps you feel great about your smile again.

Give us a call today at (972) 223-8844 or simply schedule online! We’d be happy to answer your questions and see if a dental crown is the right step for you.
