Dental Implants in Austin, TX 

A dental implant is a small titanium post that is placed in the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Once the implant integrates with the bone, it provides a stable foundation for a custom restoration such as a dental crown, bridge, or denture, resulting in comprehensive, long-lasting tooth replacement.

The implant process typically takes 4-6 months, allowing time for the implant to heal and integrate with the jawbone, followed by restoring the implant with custom abutment and crown that will be screwed into the implant.

Dental implants are often a good option for adults who have one or more missing teeth, and have sufficient bone and healthy oral tissues to support an implant. Your individual candidacy depends on your oral health, bone structure, medical history, and treatment goals. Dr. Eslami will evaluate your needs and discuss whether dental implants are the ideal solution for restoring your smile.
