Austin Dental Implant Services
Implants provide an alternative to traditional dentures when replacing a missing tooth or set of teeth. Unlike dentures, which are only semi-permanent, dental implants are actually surgically inserted to allow a patient to recover the full function and appearance of natural teeth. Implants are made of a durable synthetic material, usually titanium. If you have missing or badly damaged teeth, you may be an ideal candidate for a dental implant.
Dental implants can help to restore full function of your teeth while keeping a natural-looking, radiant smile. To learn more about our implant products and services, contact the Austin dental implant professionals of BridgeView Dental today at 512-347-8299.
Types of Implants
Dental implants can be modified to accommodate almost any tooth replacement or set of teeth. At Bridgeview Dental, we can perform a variety of dental implant procedures, such as:
- Full upper replacement
- Anterior replacement
- Full lower replacement
- Posterior replacement
- Single tooth replacement
Because it is a fairly intensive procedure, not everyone may qualify for a dental implant. Patients who have the best implant and recovery experience are those with adequate bone density and a strong immune system.
Implant Procedure
The entire process to install a dental implant takes several visits over the course of several months. A proper dental implant procedure includes:
- Placement of implant anchor into missing tooth roots
- Healing time of up to 6 months, depending on the patient and procedure
- Manufacturing of synthetic, natural-looking teeth
- Attachment of extensions to the anchors
- Fitting of synthetic teeth to the anchors and extensions
Once the implant procedure is completed, the patient will have new, natural-looking implants that match the surrounding teeth to provide a complete, shining smile.
