Dental implants offer numerous advantages that set them apart as the premier choice for tooth replacement. Discover the benefits of dental implants:
Dental implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone resorption. By mimicking the action of natural tooth roots, implants help maintain healthy bone structure and prevent facial sagging.
Unlike natural teeth, dental implants and restorations are resistant to cavities. You can enjoy a beautiful smile without the worry of dental decay.
Our titanium implants, topped with porcelain restorations, blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing a natural and aesthetically pleasing smile.
With proper oral hygiene and regular dental visits, your implant-supported restorations can last a lifetime. Dental implants offer exceptional durability and longevity.
Dental implants function just like natural teeth, allowing you to eat your favorite foods without discomfort or worry. Regain the ability to chew and speak with confidence.
Rest assured that most patients do not experience any pain during their dental implant procedures. We will administer a local anesthetic and sedation before the procedure begins to ensure your highest degree of comfort during the procedure. If you have additional questions regarding pain or anesthetic, do not hesitate to express your concerns during your consultation appointment.
Implants are made to last for decades when treated and maintained properly. The crown is the piece of the implant that may need touch-ups or replacements, but generally only after 15 – 20 years. With routine dental visits and at-home oral hygiene, implants and crowns can both last for even longer.
Depending on your oral health and your needs, you may qualify for alternatives to permanent dental implants. Some patients opt for a partial denture when looking for a removable option. Discuss your specific goals with your provider to determine what would be the best option for you.

Dental implants are designed to be a long-term solution for tooth replacement. With proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, dental implants can last a lifetime. However, it's important to note that the longevity of implants can vary depending on individual factors such as oral hygiene practices, overall health, and lifestyle habits. Our team will provide you with guidance on how to maintain and care for your implants to maximize their lifespan.
The timeline for dental implant treatment can vary depending on individual cases. In general, the dental implant process involves multiple stages, including the initial consultation, implant placement surgery, healing and integration of the implants with the jawbone, and the placement of the final restoration. This process can take several months to complete. Our team will provide you with a personalized treatment plan and timeline based on your specific needs and goals.
The cost of dental implant treatment can vary depending on several factors, including the number of implants needed, any additional treatments required, and the complexity of your case. While dental implants may have a higher upfront cost compared to other tooth replacement options, they offer long-term benefits and durability that can make them a cost-effective solution in the long run. At Elite Smiles of Pflugerville, we understand the financial aspect of dental care, and we offer flexible financing options to help you achieve a healthy and beautiful smile within your budget.
