What are dental implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone. Over a healing period, known as osseointegration, the jawbone grows around the posts and secures their position. Once the posts have healed, a restoration like a dental crown or dental bridge is placed over it, and normal activities like eating, speaking, and smiling are much more enjoyable again!
What are implant-supported dentures?
Implant-supported dentures are a more stable and comfortable alternative to traditional dentures. They are secured to dental implants placed in the jawbone, providing better support, improved chewing ability, and a more natural feel. Unlike traditional dentures, they don’t slip or require adhesives. Implant-supported dentures can be removable or fixed, depending on the patient’s needs. This solution is ideal for those missing most or all of their teeth and looking for a long-term, secure fit!
What’s the process like for placing an implant?
The first step to getting dental implants in Austin is a thorough consultation with one of our dentists. During this consultation, our dentist will evaluate your gum and bone structure where we plan to place the implant. With our dental technology, we pre-plan the treatment, ensuring a less invasive procedure and results that fit your goals. Our dentist will then perform the procedure to place the implant, allow the implant to heal, and then craft a custom restoration to complete the process.
How much do dental implants cost?
The cost of dental implants varies depending on several factors, including the number of implants needed, the type of restoration, and any additional treatments required, such as bone grafting. While implants are generally more expensive than traditional tooth replacement options, they are a long-term investment in your oral health. During your consultation, we will assess your needs and provide a personalized treatment plan with cost estimates and go over our flexible financing options with you.
Am I a candidate for dental implants?
Issues like gum disease, tooth decay, or dental trauma can lead to tooth loss. So, whether you’re looking to replace one or multiple teeth, you may be a candidate for dental implants. Besides tooth loss, ideal candidates for dental implants essentially have a healthy jaw and gums to provide a solid foundation for the implant. Good candidates also have good oral and overall health to ensure the longevity of the implant.
