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 dental 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 dentistry, 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.
