Dental Implants in Austin, TX

Most often, patients will need a dental implant if they’re missing a permanent tooth. The only other ways to replace a missing tooth are to wear a partial denture or have a fixed bridge placed. Implants allow you to replace the tooth without compromising other teeth or having to wear a prosthetic. The surgery is done quickly and takes only months to fully osseointegrate.

You will receive either local or general anesthetic depending on your needs. We will create a small incision in the gums and drill into the bone underneath. The implant is placed deep into the bone. The gum is sutured and you’ll be provided with aftercare instructions. You may need to come in several times over the course of about six months to ensure the implant is becoming osseointegrated with the rest of your jaw. A dental crown can then be made and placed on top of the healed implant.
