About Clinton W Falk, DDS, PA
Dr. Clinton Falk was born and raised in Amarillo, TX. His educational history is stellar; he was Salutatorian upon graduating from Tascosa High School and received his Bachelors degree in Biology from West Texas A&M University. After just 3 years of undergraduate college, Dr. Falk began dental school at The University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio. Receiving his DDS degree in 2001 with Summa Cum Laude honors, he continued his studies and specialty training in Periodontics and Implants at the University of Missouri in Kansas City. After completing his training, he moved to San Antonio in 2004 to begin his career in Periodontics.
Performing many Therapeutic and Cosmetic surgical procedures ranging from periodontal surgery to dental implants, most of the procedures offer both a therapeutic and cosmetic benefit. Dental implants have become the most popular dental treatment in recent years. Dr. Falk places dental implants for individual tooth replacement to full mouth tooth replacement. Patients can go to the office with a broken front tooth and leave with an implant and tooth the very same day.
Dr. Falk also performs full mouth dental implant procedures to restore and replace all teeth in just one day. “A patient does not have to wear dentures anymore and can have a beautiful smile in just one day.” Depending on the patient, all procedures can be done with sedation. Sedation dentistry has allowed Dr. Falk to perform all of these dental procedures on patients who have avoided the dentist due to anxiety or a previous “negative” experience.

Dental Implant Procedures by Dr Falk
Dental Implants
A dental implant is a root-form titanium screw that is surgically placed in the jaw to create an anchor for teeth to be built upon. Dental implants are considered the best way to replace missing teeth.
Single Posterior Implant
The majority of dental implants involve the replacement of a back tooth. Referred to as a single posterior implant, this procedure is typically less complex and less costly than many people expect.
Front Tooth Implant
Dental implants are an excellent option for replacing a missing front tooth in most cases. Front tooth implants are not as common as dental implants replacing missing molars or back teeth.
Mini Implants
Mini dental implants, sometimes referred to as MDI or narrow-diameter implants, can be an excellent option if you’re looking to replace lost teeth in areas with less bone volume or severely limited spacing.
All on 4
The AO4 procedure is considered one of the most complex dental implant treatments. This procedure involves removing all natural teeth and replacing them with 4 implants and a permanent hybrid-type bridge.
Full Mouth Implants
Missing most or all of your teeth due to damage, periodontal disease, or tooth decay? Full mouth dental implants, which your dentist may call full mouth restoration or reconstruction, can be a great option.
Tooth Extractions
Sometimes referred to as “having a tooth pulled,” a tooth extraction is a very common oral surgical procedure in which a natural tooth is removed from the jaw. An implant may be placed after adequate healing time.
Bone Grafting
After teeth are extracted, bone can atrophy or shrink to the point that bone grafting is required. Bone grafting builds up bone foundations for sufficient implant stability and strength.
Socket Preservation
Socket preservations are simple bone grafting procedures done in conjunction with tooth extractions. The goal of socket preservation is to preserve bone for a future dental implant to be placed.
Dental Crowns
A dental crown is a cap or cover that protects the tooth and restores it to mimic natural shape, size, and function. Crowns are make of zirconia or porcelain and can be either cemented or screw-retained.
Screw Retained Crowns
A screw-retained implant crown is a single-tooth fixed restoration that is secured to a dental implant by means of a screw. Screw retained crowns are popular due to the proven long-term success they deliver.
Cemented Crowns
A cemented crown is a dental crown that is secured to a dental implant using a luting agent similar to dental crowns cemented onto natural teeth. Cemented crowns are beautiful, functional, and extremely durable.
Dental Bridges
An implant bridge or dental bridge is a permanent option that replaces multiple missing teeth. It literally bridges areas that are missing one or more teeth and fill in larger spaces with natural looking crowns.
Implant Cosmetics
The goal of implant cosmetic dentistry is to create tooth-like restorations that are strong, mimic natural beauty and completely restore natural function. Think of cosmetic dentistry as plastic surgery for teeth.
Excellent. Highly recommend.
