Implants in Austin, TX & Round Rock TX

As one of the top-rated dental implants specialists in Texas, we have helped many patients replace their missing teeth and achieve a fully-functional smile. We offer dental implants using state-of-the-art dental techniques for all patients who have lost one or several teeth due to trauma, decay, aging, or gum disease. 

Dental Implants

Dental implants are teeth replacement options that function similarly to your natural teeth. They are titanium posts surgically affixed into the patient's jawbone below their gum line, on the top of which we mount artificial teeth or dental crowns. 

These titanium posts work by fusing into the jawbone through a process called osseointegration to replace lost tooth roots and offer stable support to the new teeth. 

Who Can Have Dental Implants? 

• For people with one or more missing teeth, dental implants offer a solid alternative 
• People with sufficient bone density and volume to support a dental prosthesis can benefit from the procedure
• One needs to have healthy oral tissues and overall general health to have dental implants
• Persistent smokers should quit smoking before the implant placement to facilitate healing

Benefits of Dental Implants

Much stronger: The stability and resilience of the dental implants are attributed to the strength of titanium from which they are made. Besides, since the implants combine with the jawbone to support the prosthesis mounted on its top, they are very stable. 

Fewer complications: The placement of dental implants comes with fewer difficulties and risks than other tooth restorations.

Improve speech: Wearing dentures can make it difficult for the wearer due to its tendency to come loose or slide while speaking, making them mumble abnormally. However, this problem is eliminated with dental implants that are screwed into the patient's jawbone.

Easier chewing and eating: Wearing dentures poses the risk of falling out during chewing. With dental implants, a patient's chewing function remains unaffected. 

Dental implants are durable: Dental implants are durable and long-lasting. They can last even a lifetime if they are taken care of well. Besides, they do not need any extra maintenance - they can be brushed and flossed like natural teeth.

Dental Implant Restoration at About Smiles Family & Cosmetic Dentistry

At About Smiles Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, we connect the prosthesis to the implanted tooth root bonded with the bone during dental implant restoration. The crown or artificial tooth is placed over the implant to serve as the patient's permanent tooth.
