Dental implants have quickly become the preferred tooth replacement solution for adults. Dental implants have a beautiful natural appearance and are highly durable. And the functional benefits of implants make them an excellent choice for restoring your smile.
Implants are synthetic structures that are placed in the area of the tooth normally occupied by the root. Implants are anchored to the jawbone or metal framework on the bone and act as a foundation for an artificial tooth or permanent bridge. In some cases, implants can be used to attach dentures.
It doesn’t matter whether you’ve lost a tooth due to decay, trauma or overcrowding, it’s important to visit your dentist immediately. Because teeth support each other, it only takes one missing tooth to cause the surrounding teeth to shift. When this happens, chewing often becomes difficult and speech patterns can become impaired.
Dental implants are the only permanent solution available to replace missing teeth. Dental implants are becoming the go-to procedure to fill the space left by a missing tooth. While some turn to temporary solutions—such as dental bridges or removable dentures—patients who want a permanent solution look to dental implants.
Dental implants last a lifetime! After 6 -8 years, the crown may need to be changed, but the implant will last for the rest of your life.

My husband and I moved to Fredericksburg and were looking for a dentist. Husband needs sedation dentistry due to dental trauma experienced in childhood. Few dentist will do sedation dentistry but Dr. Cox will. So now we have been going to Dr. Cox for about 3 years. My husband has had many procedures and he is very pleased. I had only had teeth cleaning until……an emergency - a painful cracked tooth! Dr. Cox and team really came through for me. They got me in for a consult same day and next day scheduled the work. An implant was a possibility if the damages were too severe but fortunately that was not required. On the day of the procedure, Dr. Cox performed a root canal, prepped the tooth for a crown and installed a permanent crown. I walked out in two hours, problem solved! I am grateful and well pleased with this dentist office and Dr. Cox. Also, the office is clean, well run, and the staff is friendly. One improvement that is needed and I hope they are working on it, is getting the parking lot repaired/resurfaced - it’s hard to avoid the holes.
Kasey is our third child that received braces from Dr. Sherri. We had an awesome experience with each one! Our daughter was the first to get braces so we went to three different orthodontists to get their opinion on her treatment and their prices. Dr. Sherri was our last doctor that we visited and our daughter was immediately at ease about her treatment and really liked the caring way that Dr. Sherri told her all about what would be done. We were happy with that and the prices! Our second child had a very difficult mouth to fix:) He required braces, surgery and an implant. Cox Orthodontics did a great job with all of the alignment and prep for all of these issues. Our third child had to have two sets of braces. We completely trusted the recommendations and we are pleased to say that all three of our children's stories end with beautiful smiles! They are more confident and even the boys will smile for pictures now!
I have been coming here for over 15 years and love every aspect of this office. You see the same faces every visit and each time they treat you like family. The hygienists are very thorough and knowledgeable they put you at ease but still educate you about your oral health. Dr. Cox has performed root canals and crowns on me and now I'm hoping to do an implant. It is so nice to get it all done in one office. His assistants are very caring and compassionate and always able to answer a question no matter how busy they are. The front desk staff greet everyone by name and are very enthused to see you whenever you walk through the door. They never act bothered to help explain a bill or the very confusing aspects of dental insurance. Both of my children have had braces with Dr. Sherri and what makes this office the best ortho office around is her hands on approach. You see Dr. Sherri every visit and she personally changes all wires. She is wonderful at explaining procedures and putting all fears at ease. I love my dental office!!
