Implant Placement in Dripping Springs

What to Expect

Placing an implant requires great skill and knowledge, and our dental team has advanced certification in this specific area.

First, preparation begins, which entails making sure a patient is a candidate for an implant. After deciding to move forward with care, any extraction of teeth that is required must take place.

After tooth extraction, a strong, durable titanium rod is placed where the root of the tooth once was. Over the course of a few months, the jaw bone and rod fuse together, which provides great strength and integrity to the implant. Once the jaw bone and gums have healed completely around the implant, the next step of the process can begin, which includes adding an abutment and placing the crown.
