BEFORE & AFTER
WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS AFTER LOSING TEETH?
Tooth loss can make you feel self-conscious about your smile. Dental implants can restore that confidence by enhancing your functionality and overall oral health. Choose the longest-lasting, most secure tooth replacement option and start smiling again. Whether you’re missing one tooth or a full arch of teeth, we have permanent replacement options to meet every need.
DENTAL IMPLANTS
Dental implants consist of a metal implant that’s placed directly into your gums and jaw, along with an implant restoration (such as a crown) that permanently attaches to the implant. At South Austin Dental Associates, our dentists specialize in dental implant preparation, placement, and restoration.

IMPLANT DENTURES
If you're missing several teeth or need extractions, a permanent denture solution may be a great option to restore your smile. With implant-supported dentures, we place 4-6 implants and then permanently fix a full arch of 3D-printed teeth to those implants, allowing you to chew, eat, and talk with ease again.
Single-Tooth Implants
Replace a single missing tooth or several missing teeth with single tooth implants. A post is permanently placed into your gum and jaw, and a dental crown will be attached to the post to restore the shape, appearance, and function of your natural tooth.

HOW IT WORKS:
THE DENTAL IMPLANT PLACEMENT AND RESTORATION PROCESS
CONSULTATION
At your consultation, Dr. Matthysse will determine if dental implants are right for you. Dr. Matthysse will examine your mouth, take x-rays, and determine if your jaw is strong and healthy enough to support one or more dental implants. You and your dentist can also explore other restorative dentistry options at this time.
ORAL SURGERY
After you’ve been approved for treatment, your dentist will create a
surgical plan for your dental implant, and schedule your oral surgery appointment. At this appointment, your Austin dentist will create a small opening in your gum tissue, place a dental implant secure in the jaw, then clean the area and suture it shut to encourage proper healing..
HEALING & OSSEOINTEGRATION
​
Once your implant has been placed, healing will begin. It takes 1-2 weeks to heal completely from surgery, but it will take between 3-6 months for your dental implant to bond permanently with your jaw bone in a process called “osseointegration”. Most patients can return to work the next day.
CREATING THE PROSTHETICs
You’ll come back to our office for a few follow-up appointments as your mouth heals from surgery. During those appointments, your dentist will ensure you’re healing properly, and take impressions of your implant and teeth. These impressions are sent to a lab, where your prosthetic, a dental crown or arch of teeth, will be made..
PLACING THE RESTORATION
Once your prosthetic is finished and your mouth has completely healed, you’ll come back for a final appointment at our office. At this appointment, your dentist will permanently bond your restoration to your dental implant, completing the procedure.
MAINTENANCE & AFTERCARE
​
Dental implants do not require a lot of special care. To keep your mouth healthy, simply make sure you brush and floss regularly, and see your dentist every six months for a teeth cleaning and oral exam.

Highly recommend!”
