Dental implants in Austin that look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
If you are missing one or more teeth, dental implants offer a solution that no other option can match. Unlike dentures, implants do not slip or require adhesives. Unlike bridges, they do not require grinding down healthy neighboring teeth. An implant is a small titanium post placed in your jawbone that fuses with the bone over time, creating a foundation as strong as a natural tooth root. The crown placed on top is custom-made to match your surrounding teeth in color, shape, and size.
Am I a candidate for dental implants?
Most healthy adults are candidates for dental implants. The main requirements are adequate bone density in your jaw and healthy gums. Patients with certain health conditions including uncontrolled diabetes or who smoke heavily may need additional evaluation. The only way to know for certain is a comprehensive exam and imaging, which we will do at your consultation.
