In North Texas, sometimes patients are told their case is “too complicated” — too much bone loss, too much anxiety, too many failed procedures, or too many health complications.
At Mason Dental in Grapevine, we see those cases differently.
We recently helped a patient who had visited multiple offices across North Texas without finding a solution. He was discouraged and battling depression over his dental health — until he found a path forward here.
His story reflects what we do every day: solve complex problems with advanced oral surgery, dental implants, and sedation dentistry.
Advanced Oral Surgery in Grapevine, TX
Oral surgery isn’t just about removing teeth. It’s about restoring comfort, function, and confidence.
We provide in-house surgical solutions so patients don’t have to bounce between offices.
What counts as oral surgery?
Oral surgery may include:
- Surgical tooth extractions
- Bone grafting
- Dental implant placement
- Full-arch implant reconstruction
- Treatment for infected or failing teeth
When handled properly, these procedures restore health and prevent long-term bone loss.
Why do some dentists refer complex cases out?
Many general dental offices refer surgical cases because they lack:
- Advanced surgical training
- Sedation capabilities
- 3D imaging and planning technology
- Experience managing complex full-arch cases
- Keeping treatment under one roof increases continuity, comfort, and clarity for patients.
Dental Implants: Permanent Tooth Replacement in North Texas
Dental implants are considered the gold standard for tooth replacement.
They replace both the root and the crown of a tooth, preserving bone and restoring natural function.
What makes dental implants different from dentures?
Unlike traditional dentures:
- Implants are anchored into bone
- They do not shift or slip
- They prevent jawbone shrinkage
- They allow normal chewing and speech
For full-arch cases, options like All-on-4 or full-arch implant bridges provide life-changing stability.
What if I’ve been told I don’t have enough bone?
Many patients in North Texas are told they are not candidates due to bone loss.
In reality, solutions may include:
- Bone grafting
- Angled implant techniques
- Advanced 3D planning
- Alternative full-arch implant strategies
Complex cases often require advanced diagnostics and experience — not a quick dismissal.
Sedation Dentistry: Overcoming Fear and Anxiety
Dental anxiety is real. For many patients, it has delayed treatment for years.
Sedation dentistry allows patients to receive needed care comfortably and safely.
What types of sedation are available?
Depending on your needs, options may include:
- Oral conscious sedation
- IV sedation – typically the most recommended option
- Nitrous oxide
Sedation is especially helpful for:
- Surgical procedures
- Full-arch implant cases
- Patients with strong gag reflex
- Severe dental anxiety
When fear is removed, patients move forward with care they’ve postponed for years.

- Sedation options for comfort
- Clear, step-by-step treatment planning
For many patients, this combination makes the difference between “impossible” and “done.”
FAQ: Oral Surgery, Implants & Sedation in Grapevine, TX
How do I know if I need oral surgery?
You may need oral surgery if you have severe tooth decay, infection, impacted teeth, significant bone loss, or require implant placement. A 3D scan and clinical exam determine the appropriate approach.
Are dental implants painful?
Most patients report less discomfort than expected. With modern surgical techniques and sedation options, implant placement is typically well tolerated.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, dental implants can last decades. Many last a lifetime.
Is sedation dentistry safe?
Yes. When administered by trained professionals with proper monitoring, sedation dentistry is extremely safe. Your medical history is reviewed carefully beforehand.
What if I’ve been told I’m not a candidate for implants?
You may still have options. Many “non-candidates” qualify after advanced imaging and treatment planning. A second opinion can make a significant difference.
How long does full-arch implant treatment take?
In many cases, patients can receive temporary teeth the same day as implant placement. Final restorations follow after healing.
A Different Experience for Complex Dental Cases
The patient in our recent testimonial didn’t just receive dental treatment — he regained confidence.
If you’ve been told there’s no solution, or you’ve been putting off treatment due to fear, you may have more options than you realize.
Complex doesn’t mean impossible.
