If you are missing one or more teeth, you may be a candidate for dental implants. A dental implant serves as a replacement for the root portion of a missing tooth in the upper or lower jaw. Small titanium threaded posts are placed in the bone and, thanks to the biocompatible properties of the material, fuse with the bone. This serves as the foundation for a new, prosthetic tooth to take the place of the missing one. With this strong base, after a brief healing period your new tooth will look, feel and function just as a natural tooth would. Our team will assess your particular situation and discuss all your available options with you before making that determination. We’ll work closely with you and your general dentist, and together we’ll make the choice that’s right for you. If dental implants are our chosen route, you can be confident in your treatment. We stay up to date on all the latest techniques and advances in technology, so you’ll be in good hands – and we’ll keep you well informed throughout the process. Above all, our goal is to help you achieve a healthy, happy smile. So contact us today to get started!

Periodontal disease is one of the leading causes of bone loss in the oral cavity. At Dental Implants of Austin, we often use the bone grafting procedure to replace this lost bone tissue and encourage natural bone growth in its place. What is bone grafting? A versatile and predictable procedure, bone grafting can fulfill a wide variety of functions. It can create a stable base for dental implant placement, repair bone loss due to gum disease or just make your smile appear more esthetically pleasing.

One of the many procedures we perform at Dental Implants of Austin is the sinus augmentation. The maxillary sinus is a space that resides above the upper back teeth. This sinus is in very close proximity to the upper teeth or sometimes as teeth are lost the sinus grows larger, leaving inadequate bone for implant placement. During a sinus augmentation, the space is decreased by adding bone to the floor of the sinus. This is a routine procedure, commonly required due to normal human anatomy.
