Dental Implant and Family Dentistry Questions, Answered

The easiest first step is a short phone visit with Shelley Osiecki, our Smile Transformation Coordinator. She answers your questions, goes over your health history, and gets you set with Dr. Wright. Call or text 903-602-3439, or call the office at 903-872-8422.

We are at 1430 W. 2nd Ave in Corsicana, Texas.

Monday through Thursday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and Friday 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. We are closed Saturday and Sunday.

We would rather give you a set time than have you sit and wait. Call 903-872-8422 and we can usually find something soon.

Our phrase around here is: how soon can you get here? If you are hurting, we do our best to make sure the sun does not set on you facing a rough, sleepless night. Call 903-872-8422 and tell us what is going on.

All the time. Patients drive and fly in from across the country to see Dr. Wright. Because everything is under one roof, we can plan your visits around your travel. Tell Shelley where you are coming from and she will build a schedule that works.

Please do not carry that in here. We have seen it all and we have never once judged anybody for it. Most of our patients tell us they only wish they had come in sooner. You will be treated like family from the moment you walk in.

We accept all dental PPO plans, and we are one of very few dental practices that can successfully submit approved medically related claims to Blue Cross Blue Shield medical insurance. Text a picture of the front and back of your dental and medical cards to 903-602-3439 and our team will review them for you.

Yes. We are in network with Medicare and Medicare certified for medically related dental reconstructive treatment, and we are one of very few practices able to handle those medical claims in house. Medicare applies to bone grafting, care for oncology patients, and full-arch denture and implant patients. There are still parts of the smile restoration process Medicare does not cover. Send us a picture of your Medicare card and our Medical Insurance Coordinator will review your benefits and tell you exactly what your plan covers.

Coverage depends on your specific plan, and we have an in-house Medical Insurance Coordinator whose whole job is getting the most out of it for you. In many medically related cases we have been able to help patients get a new smile for as little as their deductible. Send us a picture of the front and back of your cards and we will review your benefits.

No insurance is not an obstacle here. We have helped thousands of patients without coverage get the smile they have always wanted, through third-party financing and a real willingness to look for creative solutions.

We do not take Medicaid or CHIP. There are plenty of good providers who do, and we do not want you spending a trip finding that out. If you would still like to look at what is possible here, Shelley is glad to talk it through.

That is a kind thing to do for them. We take great care of our older patients, and we are in network with Medicare for medically related dental reconstructive treatment. Send us a picture of their Medicare or insurance card and a little about what is going on, and our team will review their benefits.

We hear that from patients almost every week, and very often it is not the end of the road. Dr. Wright uses 3D prosthetically driven remote-anchorage implant treatment, which reaches solid bone in areas most practices cannot, and in many of those cases we can do it same-day and graft-free. Send us your x-rays and he is happy to take a look before you ever schedule.

Yes. Dr. Wright places zygomatic, pterygoid, transsinus and transnasal implants, advanced remote anchorage that gives patients with severe bone loss a fixed solution. He has placed 10,000+ implants and completed 1,000+ full-mouth implant cases.

You are exactly who Dr. Wright built this practice for. Even patients told elsewhere there was nothing left to work with often have real options here, because of the remote anchorage techniques he uses. Send us your x-rays and he will tell you honestly what is possible before you ever schedule.

We do bone grafting when it is genuinely needed, but Dr. Wright's remote anchorage techniques mean many patients who were told they needed extensive grafting do not. He will tell you straight which one applies to you.

We work with a wide range of graft materials, and our favorite is your own bone whenever we can use it without making the treatment more involved. Dr. Wright will tell you exactly what he plans to use and why before anything happens.

It depends on your bone and the plan Dr. Wright designs for you. Some arches take four, some take more. We design your new smile digitally before treatment ever starts, so you know the plan going in and there are no surprises.

A traditional denture rests on your gums and comes out. All-on-X implant teeth are anchored into the bone and stay in. They look, feel and chew closest to natural teeth. Which one is right depends on your bone, your health and your goals, and that is exactly what Dr. Wright's evaluation is for. Just like no two smiles are the same, no two solutions are the same.

Your final teeth are zirconia, an incredibly strong, lightweight material that, with proper care and maintenance, will last a lifetime. Your healing set comes first and protects the implants while they integrate with your jaw bone for about six months.

Zirconia is among the strongest materials we have, and done right it is beautiful. It is not the only good option though. Zirconia is very hard on the natural teeth it chews against and can wear them down, and rare allergies do happen. There are other excellent materials to work with, and Dr. Wright picks the one that fits your bite and protects what you still have.

They should look like they were always yours. We design your smile from your own facial features and you see it before treatment starts. During your healing time you wear a beautiful set of healing teeth, and your final teeth are made from zirconia: strong, light and natural looking.

We can do them, but we usually offer patients something better. Taking a snap-in denture on and off puts stress on the implants and the attachments, and over time that can cause parts to break or implants to fail. Fixed implant teeth that stay in tend to hold up far better. Dr. Wright will tell you honestly what fits your situation.

You should not have to live like that. We make premium, digitally designed dentures in our own lab, and for a lot of patients implants end the movement problem for good. Dr. Wright will look at what you have and tell you the simplest thing that will actually fix it.

Relines are simple and quick, soft or hard, and they can change how you feel about your smile in a single visit. A broken denture is a different story. Usually it is better to start fresh with our own 3D milling and printing than to patch it, and the new one looks far better, because we design every smile from a 3D scan of your own face.

Yes. For one to three missing teeth we can place single implants, and we also do implant bridges instead of traditional bridges, so we do not have to touch your healthy neighboring teeth. Dr. Wright will look at what is there and give you the simplest option that will last.

Yes. We do veneers, whitening and full smile makeovers, and we design them digitally from your own facial features so you can see your new smile before we start. Shelley handles our cosmetic and smile transformation visits. Call or text her at 903-602-3439.

We do clear tray orthodontics, including Invisalign and other clear aligners, so you can straighten your teeth without metal braces. We do not place metal or ceramic braces in our office. Dr. Wright will look at your bite and tell you whether trays alone will get you where you want to be.

We do. We use Botox therapeutically for TMJ and facial pain, and for a lot of our patients it brings the headaches and migraines down with it. Dr. Wright will examine your jaw and tell you whether that is the right answer for what you are feeling.

That depends on your bone structure, your health and your goals, and that is exactly what Dr. Wright's evaluation is for. Just like no two people's smiles are the same, no two dental restoration solutions are the same. We have options to fit your needs and goals, and Dr. Wright will lay them out for you plainly.

Yes, and please do not wait. We take referrals straight from oncologists and radiologists, and we strongly prefer to treat before radiation or chemo begins. Once a lot of radiation has been delivered around the jawbones, most providers will not treat a patient at all. Cancer patients move to the front of the line here and our whole team pushes to get your oral health ready fast, because cancer does not wait and neither do we.

Yes, and it is one of the things we are known for. Dr. Wright treats medically complex patients regularly, including patients going through or recovering from cancer treatment. Send us your health history and medication list and he will review it personally before he ever recommends anything.

It does matter, and Dr. Wright will be straight with you about it. Smoking affects how well the bone heals around implants. It does not automatically rule you out. Tell us about it at your evaluation and he will factor it into your plan.

Dental implants are titanium, so they are not a problem at airport security and they do not keep you from having an MRI. If you have imaging scheduled, just let the imaging team know you have dental implants.

Dr. Wright has been practicing 18+ years and has placed 10,000+ implants and completed 1,000+ full-mouth implant cases. He personally oversees every treatment plan that leaves this office.

We make them here. Everything is 3D Designed, Printed and Milled In-House, under the careful eye of our own team. That is why we can move as fast as we do, and why the fit and the look are controlled from start to finish.

1,000+ five-star Google reviews, and not one of them is about being treated like a number. You get personalized care from a team that takes the time to know you, and our patients become part of our family. We use the latest digital technology, we design and show you your new smile before treatment, and our own lab means it is all under one roof.

We do, and we would love to show you. We have 1,000+ five-star Google reviews and a gallery of real patient transformations.
