The Benefits

I’ve Lost A Tooth. Do I Need An Implant?

Dental implants are the best way to replace one or more missing teeth. They look and feel more natural than alternatives like dentures and dental bridges.

‍

Dental implants also have a much longer lifespan of 30 years or longer with proper care, and require minimal maintenance. If you need to replace your tooth in San Antonio, you may be a good candidate for a dental implant.

  • Completely natural look and feel
  • Never moves or shifts
  • 30+ year lifespan with proper care

Here’s How It Works

01.

Implant Surgery

After designing your treatment plan, our doctors will refer you to an oral surgeon or periodontist to surgically place an implant directly into the gums and jaw bone where your missing tooth used to be.

02.

Healing & Recovery

It can take between 3-6 months for your implant to permanently integrate with your jaw bone. As you heal, you’ll come back for follow ups at Joshua Austin, DDS & Associates.

03.

Implant Placement

Once your implant has fully integrated with your jaw, you’ll come back to have a crown placed on your implant. This restores the tooth and completes your procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get Answers About Dental Implants

How Long Do Dental Implants Last?

Dental implants have an expected lifespan of 30+ years, and can easily last the rest of your life with proper care.

‍

To care for your dental implants, just make sure you’re brushing and flossing properly, eating a healthy diet, and seeing our doctors for six-month dental checkups in San Antonio.

What Does An Implant Feel Like?

Dental implants feel just like a natural tooth. Unlike alternatives like dentures, your implant will be fully integrated with your jaw bone, and will be completely stable. It will never move or shift when you eat, chew, speak, or brush your teeth.

Will Dental Implants Stop Bone Loss?

Yes. Dental implants are placed directly into the jaw bone. This means that, when you bite, chew, and eat, force is transmitted into the jaw bone.

‍

This force helps stimulate the jaw bone and keeps it healthy. This means that dental implants can stop bone resorption after tooth loss, unlike alternatives such as dental bridges and dentures.
