Missing Teeth? Considering Dental Implants?
In many cases dental implants are an excellent option for the replacement of missing teeth. However, at Austin Cosmetic Dentistry we offer a full range of solutions (as well as dental implants) which may offer distinct advantages.

When missing one or more teeth in the smile line, the use of a dental implant may NOT be the best choice.
- Matching the color of an implant crown (replacement tooth) to the surrounding natural teeth is very difficult.
- Over time your natural teeth will darken but the implant crown will not. This will cause the crown to stand out.
- Dental Implants in these areas normally require 6 months to stabilize before they can support a replacement tooth.
In cases of a missing tooth or teeth in the smile line a dental bridge is usually a better solution.
- A Dental Bridge uses the surrounding teeth as anchors to hold new replacement teeth that “bridge” the gap.
- A Dental Bridge is incorporated as part of a Smile Makeover and can be completed in as few as 2 visits!
- The Dental Bridge is made at the same time as your new porcelain veneers and/or crowns. So they match perfectly in both color and shape.
- Your new smile will never stain even if you drink red wine, colas, or even use tobacco.
- Your new smile is extremely durable and will be backed by our amazing Last Time You Pay policy.
Dental Implants are a Popular Dental Treatment for:
- Replacing a missing tooth (or teeth) to restore your smile;
- Restoring teeth that are badly damaged or decayed;
- Replacing infected or loose teeth;
- An alternative to dentures that is permanent and doesn’t use adhesives that can slip and leave you with an embarrassing moment;

What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants or implant dentistry is a safe, effective and permanent way to replace one or more missing teeth. The implant is a small titanium post that is placed into the jawbone. A custom-made porcelain tooth (or teeth) is attached to the implant(s) to restore your teeth and smile.

Dental implants usually take just 2 visits.
Visit 1: Installing the Implant
To begin the process, Dr. Schiro or Dr. Garcia will insert a tiny titanium post into your jawbone – one for each missing tooth. The small titanium root (the implant) is placed in your jawbone to anchor the new tooth (or teeth). Your jawbone will fuse to the tiny posts to create a firm foundation for your dental implants.
Visit 2: Attaching the New Tooth to the Implant
Dr. Schiro or Dr. Garcia will attach your custom-made prosthetic tooth to your implants to restore your mouth’s health and function and improve your smile.
