Austin Dental Implants FAQs
Serving Austin, Round Rock, Texas And Surrounding Areas
Am I a candidate for a dental implant?
If you are missing one or multiple teeth, you may be able to qualify
for a dental implant procedure. Your dentist will work with you
to determine placement, shape and color of your implant or implants.
What are the different types of dental implants?
Your dentist may suggest an artificial bone substitute implant,
which involves fitting synthetic bone material onto existing bone
for implant support, endosteal implants, which are inserted into
the jaw bone, or subperiosteal implants, where the implant is fitted
into existing bone structure. Talk to Dr. Powell or Dr. Tiller for
information on which type of implant may be right for you.
How do I maintain my dental implants?
You should make sure you keep them clean with regular brushing and
flossing. Schedule regular check-ups with your implant dentist for
cleanings and to make sure your implants are functioning correctly.
Is implant surgery painful?
During implant surgery, you will be comfortably sedated and will
feel no pain. Following surgery, some patients experience mild discomfort
that can be treated with medication and usually subsides quickly.
Will I miss work for implant surgery?
Following implant surgery, we recommend that patients relax for
the rest of the day, and possibly the following day, depending on
how you feel.
Are missing teeth harmful?
Along with tooth loss comes the inevitable side effect of gradual
bone loss. Neighboring teeth are affected, and a lack of proper
support can lead to pain, gum damage, chewing and speech difficulties.
Numbness and jaw fracture risks increase, and remaining teeth are
in jeopardy. Missing teeth also cause diet restrictions and a loss
of self-confidence. Choosing to have dental implants can solve many
problems with one procedure.
