Dental Implant Austin TX
What are Dental Implants?
Besides several other signs of progress in dental technology, dental implants in Austin have also enhanced considerably since first introduced in the dental field. Today’s implants are more aesthetically pleasing and also more functional and durable. Implants are a restorative dental procedure used to replace one or more teeth. Unlike dental bridges or partials, the implant is an individual restoration that only impacts the area of the lost tooth.
A small surgery is needed to install a titanium post (which looks much like a screw) in the socket where the tooth root was present. This post is left to fuse with the surrounding bone mass. When an adequate amount of bone has fused with the post, the site is then prepped to receive a dental crown which will be sitting on the post. The crown looks and feels like an original tooth. When the area is mostly healed and ready, the crown is fixed to the post and the result is a tooth that appears as natural as any of the teeth in the mouth.
Benefits of Dental Implants
When you have lost your teeth, it isn’t just embarrassing; however, your mouth also loses balance quickly if kept untreated. Dental Implants allow you to look and feel very improved and also boost your self-esteem. There are several reasons why Dr. Kimberly T Nguyen advises using a dental implant. Some important reasons are:
- Not being able to pronounce appropriately could be a problem because of your lost teeth. However, a dental implant could help you to improve your speech
- Your teeth will get restored with the help of dental implants and will enhance your ability to chew
- When you have lost teeth, it leads to misalignment of your jaw
- When you get your lost teeth restored by a dental implant, it helps to maintain the proper alignment of your jaw
Types of Dental Implants
Dental Implants are available in different sizes and also heights. You can find two types of dental implants:
- Endosteal: It is the most popularly known type of dental implant. During dental implant surgery, it is actually installed in the jawbone. Moreover, they are designed as small screws composed of titanium.
- Subperiosteal: These dental implants are primarily installed under the gum, but on or above the jaw bone. These kinds of implants are majorly used for patients who have no healthy, natural jawbone, or do not prefer to undergo a bone graft process.
Dental Implants Procedure
The dental implant process includes replacing the natural tooth roots with metal that appear and function just like those of the original roots. At first, we cut-open the gum of the individual and then expose their bone. Then, we drill holes in the bone where the implant is needed to be inserted. Then, the dental implant is carefully inserted into the hole.
Because the posts serve as tooth roots, we insert them deep into the bone. At this point, the individual still has a space where the tooth is lost. Sometimes, we even provide a partial, temporary denture for enhancing the appearance. The person will be able to take it out for cleaning, or during sleep.

Ashton and Jessica were extremely knowledgeable and comforting! I haven't been to the dentist in over 10 years and they made me feel so confident! Thank you so much to everyone who helped me out today. This experience was 10/10 from the moment I walked in the door to when I left.

I recently needed find a new dentist in Austin, so I was referred to TRU Dentistry by my amazing girlfriend. I went in for a general check-up and teeth cleaning, and the entire experience was fantastic from start to finish. The staff was friendly, efficient and knowledgable; they made sure I knew what was happening every step of the appointment. The facility is modern, clean, and inviting (had Netflix going in my room); which is very important for someone who does not enjoy going to the dentist. Lastly, I felt the whole process was extremely transparent and easy (the conversations with the hygienist/dentist were helpful/constructive, and they communicated the pricing of everything throughout). Overall, I was couldn't be more pleased with TRU Dentistry and I'm, happy to say I have found myself a new permanent dentist in Austin.

Love TRU Dentistry! Moved to Austin a little bit ago and finally got into finding healthcare here and TRU has been so great! I've gone twice now- once for an emergency visit and once for a regular cleaning and both experiences have been quick and painless! I'm also someone who has had bad experiences with dentists in the past and from the workers here to the environment to price transparency- everything has been great, so happy to have found a reliable dentist in austin 🙂

The staff was very nice and welcoming. The dentist explained everything thoroughly. However, I would advise you list the services you don’t do so people won’t waste their time and money. The website stated they perform extractions, but it doesn’t state they don’t do wisdom teeth extractions. I was in pain and needed that tooth gone. Had it listed on the website they don’t extract wisdom teeth, I would’ve never scheduled the appointment.

Just prior to spring break, I had severe oral pain from a tooth out of alignment. My regular dentist was on vacation & her first appointment was March 27.Two weeks of pain? Yikes!
I stumbled on an ad online for TRU Dentistry.The front office staff was professional, friendly, kind & able to book an appointment within a few days.
I am a Registered Nurse so am extremely picky about my care. The clinic was very clean & welcoming.
Dr. Samantha Hollinger was AMAZING! She went over my treatment options & even offered to refer me to another dentist to try to save my tooth. However, I had already consulted an orthodontist & had a plan in place. She is highly skilled in performing extractions. She took time to explain the procedure & after-care.
Honestly, I wish this office was covered under my dental plan. I’d make them my primary dental office.
Thanks for being there & giving outstanding care! Their high reviews are well-deserved.
