Wondering how dental implants compare to other tooth replacement options? Here’s a quick comparison to help you make an informed decision:
Process
Your journey begins with a personalized consultation, where we assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and answer any questions. We’ll determine if dental implants are the right choice for you and outline a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
During this stage, our skilled periodontist will place the titanium implant into your jawbone. This minor surgical procedure is done with precision and care, ensuring a secure foundation for your new tooth.
Over the next few months, the implant naturally bonds with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration. This creates a stable base, just like a natural tooth root. During this time, you may receive a temporary replacement tooth for comfort and appearance.
Once your implant is fully integrated, we attach a small connector piece, called an abutment, to the implant. This serves as the anchor for your final restoration.
The final step is placing a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture on the abutment. Crafted to match your natural teeth, your new implant will look, feel, and function like a real tooth, giving you a complete and confident smile.

FAQ
Most patients report only mild discomfort during and after the implant procedure, which is typically managed with local anesthesia. Any post-procedure soreness is usually comparable to that of a routine tooth extraction and subsides within a few days. Our team will provide guidance on managing discomfort and ensure a smooth recovery.
Dental implants are designed to be a long-term solution. With proper care, they can last a lifetime. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups are all that’s needed to keep your implants in excellent condition. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants do not need replacement every few years, making them a worthwhile investment.
The cost of dental implants varies based on individual needs and treatment plans. While implants may have a higher initial cost compared to dentures or bridges, their durability and natural look make them a valuable, cost-effective option over time. We offer flexible financing options to make dental implants accessible and affordable.
If you have one or more missing teeth and healthy gums, you’re likely a candidate for dental implants. Our initial consultation includes a thorough evaluation of your jawbone health to ensure implants are right for you. Even if you’ve experienced bone loss, we offer advanced solutions to help you achieve a stable, lasting smile.
The entire process typically takes several months, as we allow time for the implant to bond with your jawbone for maximum stability. Most of this time is dedicated to healing, with only a few short visits required for each step. The final result is a permanent solution that looks and feels natural.
Absolutely. Dental implants are custom-made to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth. Once placed, they look and feel just like your own teeth, blending seamlessly with your smile.
Dental implants have a high success rate, typically around 95-98%, especially when placed by experienced professionals. At Austin Family Dentistry, we use advanced techniques to ensure your implant procedure is safe, precise, and successful.
