Dental Implant In 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.

I love this place and have referred many of my friends to Tru Dentistry. The staff is super friendly, fast, and informative. Dr. Nguyen is incredibly sweet and really cares to make her patients happy. I never dread my dentist appointments and always feel happy when leaving their office.

I’m usually nervous about the dentist, and haven’t been in some years between Covid, anxiety, life and such. The crew here made me feel so at ease, were so kind from the minute I walked in the door, and really took the time to walk me through a treatment plan that would get me back on track while still making sure I’d have a good experience. So happy I found them as my new dentist office!
Amanda Johnson
TRU Dentistry provided such a wonderful experience for me! I was nervous about coming, because I haven’t been to the dentist in longer than I’d like to admit. But from the moment I walked in I felt taken care of.
Gabby was AMAZING! She immediately chatted with me and made me feel so comfortable there (and I never thought I would put “comfortable” and “dentist” in the same sentence!) She went above and beyond- truly excellent customer service!
Dr. Nguyen was gentle and explained everything in a way I understood, which eased any anxiety I had coming in. She also explained that if I am nervous when I come back for my tooth procedure, they will make sure to address that.
Overall this was a fantastic experience, and I will definitely be continuing to visit TRU for my dentistry needs!

This was my first time here and all I can say are great things. The office itself is beautiful and very clean! David did an amazing job taking me back and doing my x-rays he was very patient and kind. The hygienist Reef did a wonderful job cleaning my teeth and made sure I was comfortable and shared great advice for preventive care. And Dr. Nguyen was sweet and explained a lot of preventative care as well as suggestions that would help me in the long run taking care of my teeth. At the end Gabby the receptionist explained my treatment plan and recommended things I could do to keep my smile looking great. This team did a great job and I will be definitely recommend all my friends and family to come here to get work done. Very satisfied with this office and the location is great with tons of parking

In quick (check up and getting a dental plan going for cleanings and such). Staff was polite and friendly. They explained everything they were doing, and the bill. Found my new dentist, I think.
