Missing Tooth Implants in Austin, TX

According to the American College of Prosthodontists, over 35 million Americans do not have any teeth in their smile, and 120 million are missing at least one tooth. Dental implants are becoming an increasingly popular option for those missing at least a single tooth as they provide a permanent and stable solution. At Vida Dental, we offer both dental implants and fixed bridges as single tooth replacement solutions.

What Does a Single Tooth Replacement Do?

A single tooth replacement allows the patient full oral function, just like a normal tooth does. Single tooth replacements allow the patient full oral function, just like a normal tooth does. This includes the ability to eat all kinds of foods, as well as speak and smile with confidence. They are also much easier to take care of than dentures, which can sometimes slip or move around in your mouth.

The Single Tooth Replacement Process

The process begins when a doctor has a consultation appointment with you. During this time, they will take an X-ray see if your jaw is strong enough to withstand an implant. After the initial visit is over and we’ve established that you are a candidate for a single dental implant, the following will occur during the second visit:

The doctor will numb your mouth so that you can either get local anesthesia or, depending on your tolerance, be put under.

An incision is created on the gum along with a bone graft to support the bone with an implant.

We will then insert the implant.

The procedure is then completed and during recovery the implant is expected to fuse with the bone over the course of 4 to 6 months.

Finally, an implant crown will be placed after the implant has fully healed.

Does a Single Tooth Replacement Hurt?

During the process you can expect to feel no pain. This is because you will be numb for the entirety. However, you will likely feel sore afterwards. This should only last a couple of days post-procedure.

"Dr. Patel is literally the nicest dentist I’ve encountered! I left a voicemail at 1am with the worst tooth pain. I got an appointment as a new patient in the morning, my tooth extracted, and implants placed in the same visit in about an hour total time. No pain at all and all staff exceptionally friendly."

"I've been seeing Dr. Patel for a few years now because Vida Dental has provided the best dental care I have experienced. He has always been very honest and straight forward with me, I truly feel like he cares about my health more than he does receiving my money. I also trust his knowledge and advice fully. Everyone else on the staff has also always been very lovely and genuine."

"I’ve been seeing Dr. Ryan for years, and wouldn’t trust my teeth with anyone else!! She’s the best dentist I’ve ever had—we’ve done clear care, whitening, cavity filling and cleanings and it’s always a pleasant experience. She cares deeply but is fun. I always enjoy going into the office and literally fly from New York to Austin to see her now! It’s totally worth the trip :)"
