Dental Implants

The loss of a tooth or teeth doesn’t confine you to dentures or bridges. Dental implants could be a viable option for you!

Restore your smile’s brilliance with dental implants in Austin. Dental implants stand as a highly effective and widely embraced method for replacing missing teeth. Comprising titanium and other biocompatible materials, these implant posts are strategically positioned in the jaw through surgery, acting as a sturdy anchor for replacement teeth. Engineered to seamlessly integrate with your natural smile, dental implants offer a robust, enduring solution.

The process of receiving a dental implant at BLVD Dentistry & Orthodontics in Austin typically unfolds in three phases:

Step One: Surgical Placement: Our dentist in Austin surgically implants the post(s) into the jawbone.

Step Two: Osseointegration: Osseointegration, a critical process wherein the implant fuses with the bone, takes place. This crucial step imparts exceptional strength to the implant. Patients often undergo a waiting period of several months for the implant to fully integrate before progressing to the next phase.

Step Three: Placement of the Artificial Tooth/Teeth: The artificial tooth or teeth are then affixed. For a single-tooth implant, a dental crown is attached—a new tooth customized to match the size, shape, color, and fit of your original tooth, ensuring a seamless blend. In cases where multiple teeth need replacement, custom-made dentures or bridges are crafted to fit your mouth and integrate seamlessly with the implants.
