DENTAL IMPLANTS IN AUSTIN, TX

WHAT ARE DENTAL IMPLANTS?

Dental implants are the most advanced and permanent solution for replacing missing teeth. They consist of a small titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone to act as an artificial root. Over time, this post fuses with the natural bone through a process called osseointegration, creating a stable foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture. Implants are designed to look, feel, and function like real teeth—giving you the confidence to eat, smile, speak, and live your life without compromise.



Implants are the best way to replace a missing tooth in a way that can fill the hole in your smile and improve your dental health at the same time. Our implants look and feel natural—no one will be able to tell you’ve had a tooth replaced, possibly including you! We place and restore implants right here in our office, so you’ll be able to have a team you know and trust do all the work for you. We’re excited to share the benefits of implants with you!

DO I NEED A DENTAL IMPLANT?

The answer here is simple: if you’ve lost a permanent tooth, you could benefit from an implant! In some cases, an implant may not be the first step you take—for example, if your jaw bone has deteriorated under the missing tooth, you may need to have the bone built up again with a bone graft before an implant procedure.


It’s also possible that Dr. Mortensen may recommend extracting one of your natural teeth that has been badly damaged, and then we’ll follow that procedure with an implant restoration. Your dentist will always be on hand to make sure you’re getting the right treatment, but an implant is often a great solution to lost teeth!

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF IMPLANTS?

It’s easy to feel self-conscious with a missing tooth, especially if that tooth held a prominent place in your smile. An implant can fill that hole completely—from tooth root to visible crown. Additionally, all of our implants are designed to naturally blend in with your existing teeth. An implant is a great way to restore your smile and boost your confidence! 


Implants are also important for your oral health. When a permanent tooth is lost, the jawbone underneath will gradually begin to deteriorate, which can cause problems in the future. Placing an implant will stop that deterioration almost immediately, so your jawbone will stay as strong and reliable as ever.

HOW DENTAL IMPLANTS IMPROVE LONG-TERM ORAL HEALTH

Dental implants do more than just replace missing teeth—they actively support your long-term oral health. When a tooth is lost, the surrounding bone begins to deteriorate due to a lack of stimulation. This can lead to a sunken facial appearance, shifting teeth, and even further tooth loss. Implants prevent these issues by mimicking the root structure of natural teeth, stimulating the jawbone, and preserving its strength and density.


In addition to protecting your bone, dental implants help maintain the alignment of your remaining teeth. Without a replacement, neighboring teeth may drift into the gap, affecting your bite and causing complications like TMJ discomfort or uneven wear. Implants keep everything in place, supporting a balanced, functional bite.


They also eliminate the need to alter healthy teeth, which is sometimes required for traditional bridges. Because implants are anchored directly into the jaw, they work independently without impacting surrounding structures. This conservative approach promotes better long-term results and overall oral health.


Choosing implants is not just a cosmetic upgrade—it’s a preventive investment in your future dental wellness. At Daybreak Dental, we help you protect your smile for years to come with the most reliable, long-lasting solution available.

HOW TO CARE FOR DENTAL IMPLANTS

Maintaining your implants is just like caring for natural teeth:


  • Brush twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush
  • Floss or use an interdental brush daily
  • Visit us every 6 months for cleanings and exams
  • Avoid habits like biting on ice or hard objects
  • Quit smoking to protect the health of your bone and gums

Following these guidelines will help ensure your implant stays secure and functional for years to come.

BENEFITS OF DENTAL IMPLANTS VS. ALTERNATIVES

Dental implants offer several advantages over alternatives like dentures and bridges. One of the most significant benefits is that they help preserve jawbone density, unlike dentures and bridges, which do not. Implants are also stable and secure, providing a firm fit that doesn't shift, unlike dentures that may move around. They feel like natural teeth, giving a more comfortable and realistic experience compared to the less natural feel of dentures and the somewhat realistic feel of bridges.


Additionally, implants do not affect neighboring teeth, whereas bridges may require the alteration of adjacent healthy teeth. In terms of longevity, dental implants typically last over 20 years, far outlasting dentures (5–7 years) and bridges (10–15 years), making them a durable and long-term solution for tooth replacement.

DENTAL IMPLANTS FOR SENIORS

Many people assume they’re “too old” for implants—but that couldn’t be further from the truth. As long as you’re healthy enough for routine dental procedures, you’re likely a candidate. Seniors especially benefit from the stability implants offer after years of using removable dentures. Implants provide renewed comfort, confidence, and functionality—allowing seniors to eat, speak, and smile without worry.

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY MAKES A DIFFERENCE

At Daybreak Dental, we use the latest in dental implant technology to ensure the best outcomes:


  • Digital X-rays & 3D Imaging – To precisely measure bone density and plan implant positioning
  • Guided Surgery – For accurate, minimally invasive placement
  • CAD/CAM Restorations – For crowns and bridges that fit and look like natural teeth



We believe advanced tools, paired with compassionate care, result in a superior patient experience and successful long-term results.

THE DENTAL IMPLANT PROCESS

  • 1. Initial Consultation

    Using digital imaging and 3D scans, we evaluate your oral health and jaw structure to plan your treatment. We’ll answer all your questions and ensure you feel confident in your decision.

  • 2. Implant Placement

    We accept most major PPO dental insurance plans and will work with your provider to maximize your benefits. Before any treatment begins, we’ll help you understand your coverage and what out-of-pocket costs to expect—so there are no surprises. For patients without insurance, we offer flexible payment options, including third-party financing through CareCredit®, and in some cases, we can create phased treatment plans that work with your budget. Our goal is to make great care accessible to everyone in South Austin.

  • 3. Healing Period

    Over the next 3–6 months, your jawbone integrates with the implant. During this phase, you may wear a temporary restoration.

  • 4. Abutment & Final Crown

    Once healing is complete, we place the abutment and a custom crown, bridge, or denture designed to match your smile perfectly.

DENTAL IMPLANTS Frequently Asked Questions

  • How Long Do Implants Really Last?

    Most dental implants last over 20 years—and with proper care, they can even last a lifetime. While the implant post (which fuses with your jawbone) is incredibly durable, the crown attached to it may need to be replaced every 10–15 years due to normal wear. Keeping up with regular dental checkups and good hygiene can help your implant last as long as possible.

  • Does Getting an Implant Hurt?

    The procedure itself is done under local anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the surgery. Most patients say the experience is much easier than expected—often less painful than a tooth extraction. Mild soreness afterward is normal and usually manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers.

  • Can I Get an Implant Immediately After Tooth Removal?

    In many cases, yes! This is called “immediate placement.” It depends on the condition of your bone and gum tissue. If the area is healthy and infection-free, we can often place the implant the same day the tooth is removed. We’ll evaluate your eligibility during your consultation

  • What if I Don’t Have Enough Bone?

    Not a problem—we offer bone grafting procedures to rebuild areas with bone loss. This process helps create a strong foundation for your implant. While it may extend the treatment timeline, it’s a crucial step in ensuring long-term implant success and stability.

  • How Do I Clean Around Implants?

    Dental implants need care just like natural teeth. You’ll brush and floss daily, and we may recommend tools like a water flosser or interdental brushes specifically designed for implants. Our team will guide you on the best techniques to keep the area clean and your implant healthy.

  • Can Implants Be Used With Dentures?

    Absolutely! Implant-retained dentures “snap on” to implants, offering superior stability compared to traditional removable dentures. They don’t require adhesives, won’t shift while talking or eating, and provide a much more natural feel and bite.

  • What Are Implants Made Of?

    Most dental implants are made of titanium—a strong, lightweight, and biocompatible metal that integrates well with the jawbone. For patients with metal sensitivities or who prefer a metal-free option, we also offer zirconia implants, which are durable and aesthetically pleasing.

  • Is There an Age Limit?

    Not at all! Patients in their 60s, 70s, and even 80s can be great candidates for dental implants. Age isn’t as important as your overall health and bone condition. If you're healthy enough for routine dental work, chances are you can receive implants, too.
