Are dental implants painful?

No. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia or sedation to ensure you're completely comfortable. Most patients report minimal discomfort and are surprised at how easy the process feels.

How long do dental implants last?

With proper care, dental implants can last 20 years or more and often a lifetime. The crown may eventually need to be replaced due to normal wear, but the implant post is permanent.

Am I a candidate for dental implants?

Most healthy adults with adequate jawbone density and good oral health are excellent candidates for implant dentistry. If you've experienced bone loss, bone grafting may help prepare your mouth for successful implant placement.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are the most advanced and reliable way to replace missing teeth, offering a solution that looks, feels, and functions just like your natural teeth. A dental implant consists of a small titanium post that replaces your tooth root, a custom abutment, and a lifelike dental crown. Together, they create a stable, permanent tooth replacement that preserves your bone health and enhances your smile for decades. We use precision-guided technology to provide the best dental implants in Leander, restoring your confidence, comfort, and ability to eat and speak naturally.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

Unlike dentures or bridges, dental implants integrate directly with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration. This creates a strong foundation for your new tooth and prevents the bone loss that often occurs after tooth loss.

Our dental implants are ideal for patients who want:

A permanent solution to missing teeth

A natural-looking and comfortable restoration

To maintain a healthy bone and facial structure

To replace one or more missing teeth or secure a denture

To improve speech and chewing ability

Should You Get a Dental Implant?

Our expert implant dentists at Green Dentistry of Leander recommend dental implants if you have:

One or more missing teeth

A broken or decayed tooth that cannot be restored

Loose dentures or difficulty eating with traditional restorations

Bone loss in your jaw due to missing teeth

A desire for a stable, long-term tooth replacement solution

What Happens During the Dental Implant Process?

We make every step of your implant dentistry in Leander simple, precise, and comfortable.

Before the Procedure

We will conduct a thorough evaluation using 3D digital imaging to assess your jawbone and create a customized treatment plan. We’ll review your sedation options and ensure you’re a good candidate for implants.

DURING the Procedure

The titanium implant post is gently placed into your jawbone in a precise, guided procedure. Over the next few months, the implant naturally fuses with your bone, creating a secure foundation for your new tooth.

AFTER THE PROCEDUre

Once healing is complete, a custom crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the implant, completing your new smile. You’ll leave with a fully functional, beautiful restoration that feels completely natural.

Aftercare Instructions for Dental Implants

Proper care will help your dental implants last a lifetime. Follow these simple tips for the best results:

Brush and floss around your implant daily, just like your natural teeth.

Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste.

Avoid smoking, as it can interfere with healing.

Eat soft foods for the first few days following surgery.

Attend all follow-up visits for professional cleanings and implant checkups.
