Dental ImplantsIt’s always important to replace missing teeth. Just a single missing tooth can impact how you chew your food or even how you speak! Fortunately, modern dental technology offers a variety of options to replace missing teeth. One of those that has become increasingly popular over the past few years is the dental implant. An implant consists of an artificial tooth “root” (usually made of titanium) that is implanted into the patient’s jaw and a porcelain crown that is affixed to the top of the root. Dr. Dhaon and her staff are pleased to offer dental implants as one of the many services she provides to her patients from throughout the Austin, TX, area.
Why You Should Choose Arbor Oaks Dental & Orthodontics for Dental Implants
Dental implants have surged in popularity in recent years, and for good reason. Receiving a dental implant is akin to regaining a brand-new, natural tooth. Unlike other dental appliances, implants remain secure, allowing you to enjoy any food without restriction and eliminating concerns about slippage or clicking during speech. Routine oral hygiene—brushing and flossing—is all that’s required. Dr. Dhaon and her experienced team have successfully placed numerous implants, ensuring a proven track record in this sought-after procedure.
Benefits Of Dental Implant Procedure at our Austin dental office
The first step in getting a dental implant involves implanting the “root” into the patient’s jaw and then waiting several months to allow the implant to fuse to the jawbone. After that, Dr. Dhaon will attach a connector to the top of the implant and then permanently affix the porcelain crown to the connector. Dental implants are extremely durable and can, in many cases, last throughout the lifetime of the patient.
Dental implants are one of several procedures that can be involved in a full mouth reconstruction. Whether a patient is simply not happy with her or her existing natural teeth, or the patient has undergone some type of accident or illness that has created numerous dental problems, full mouth reconstruction can resolve those issues and provide the patient with an improved quality of life.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is a dental implant?
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root, typically made of titanium, surgically placed into your jawbone. It’s topped with a porcelain crown to replace a missing tooth, providing a natural-looking, functional solution.
Why should I choose dental implants at Arbor Oaks Dental & Orthodontics?
Dental implants offer a long-term solution that functions like natural teeth. Once healed, they restore full chewing ability, stay securely in place, and help you enjoy a confident, comfortable smile without worrying about slippage.
How does the implant procedure work at your office?
The titanium post is placed into the jawbone, where it fuses over a few months. After healing, a connector (abutment) is attached, and a custom porcelain crown is placed, completing the restoration for a natural feel.
How long do dental implants last?
With good oral hygiene and regular checkups, prosthetic teeth can last for many years, often a lifetime. The implants fuse with the jawbone, supporting long-term function and ensuring lasting durability.
Is getting a dental implant painful?
Arbor Oaks Dental & Orthodontics prioritizes patient comfort. During the implant procedure, anesthesia and sedation options are used as needed, and most patients report minimal discomfort during healing thanks to the gentle, precise technique.
Can implants help if I’m missing multiple teeth or need a full-mouth reconstruction?
Yes — implants are versatile and can be used for single-tooth replacement or as part of a full-mouth reconstruction plan to restore many or all missing teeth, improving both aesthetics and oral function.
Will implants feel natural when I talk or eat?
Once healed, dental implants feel just like natural teeth. Since they are anchored into the bone, they won’t move, slip, or irritate, offering a stable and natural experience when talking or eating.
Do dental implants require special care?
Dental implants require the same care as natural teeth: regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental visits. Maintaining your oral hygiene is typically all that’s needed to keep your permanent dental work healthy and functioning.
Are dental implants covered by insurance, and are they expensive?
Costs vary depending on the number of implants and procedures, such as bone grafting. However, at Arbor Oaks Dental & Orthodontics, you will get flexible payment plans and work with insurance providers to make implants more affordable for patients.
