The staff from front desk to the back (Stormie) Dr Winn and other staff was so pleasant. I will be recommending them to others. I was so nervous about being there. But the staff is very caring and gives you all the information about what going on, what’s fixing to take place and about cost. Gateway dentist office is awesome!

Full Arch Dental Implants FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About Full Arch Dental Implants in Waskom, Texas
How do I know if I am a good candidate for dental implants?
What happens during a dental implant consultation?
At your consultation you meet with a treatment coordinator, and we take any necessary X-rays to confirm whether implant supported teeth are right for you. Dr. Kevin Nguyen then examines your mouth and recommends the most predictable, long lasting treatment. Your coordinator reviews the full plan with you, including fees, insurance, and payment options, so you leave with clear answers.
Is there a warranty on full arch dental implants?
Yes. We stand behind our work with a one year warranty on full arch dental implants. During that year we repair or replace any break, crack, fracture, or flaw in workmanship that is covered by the warranty. The warranty does not cover damage from loss, discoloration, excessive wear such as heavy grinding, misuse, neglect, or accidental injury.
How do I know if I am a good candidate for dental implants?
Most adults in good general health with missing or failing teeth are strong candidates for dental implants. The best way to know for certain is a consultation at our Waskom, Texas office, where we review your oral health, take any needed images, and explain whether traditional implants or our full arch system suits you, along with the outcomes and options involved.
Does dental insurance or Medicaid cover dental implants?
Coverage varies by plan, and many policies cover part of implant treatment. Our office accepts all PPO insurance plans as well as Texas Medicaid and CHIP, and our team will review your benefits with you and explain affordable payment options so you understand the full cost before treatment begins.
How long does dental implant treatment take?
Timelines depend on your individual case. Some patients receive a full arch of fixed teeth in a short window, while treatments that need healing time between stages take several months. During your consultation in Waskom, Texas, we map out a clear, personalized schedule so you know what to expect at every visit.
How do I care for my dental implants?
Caring for dental implants is much like caring for natural teeth. Brush twice a day, clean between your teeth daily, and keep regular checkups and cleanings at Gateway Dental & Implant Center. Good daily habits and routine visits help your implants stay healthy and last for many years.
