DENTAL IMPLANTS
Stable, long-term tooth replacement that looks and feels natural.
Both Doctors TrainedDental implants are the closest modern dentistry comes to replicating a natural tooth. A small titanium post is placed into the jawbone, where it integrates with the bone over time and serves as a stable foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture. At South Austin Dental, both Dr. Hauser and Dr. Marino place implants, and their combined advanced training allows us to handle cases ranging from single-tooth replacements to full-arch rehabilitation.
Implants work because titanium is biocompatible: your jawbone naturally fuses with the post in a process called osseointegration. Once healed, the implant functions as an artificial root, supporting a restoration that looks, feels, and works like a natural tooth. Because implants stimulate the jawbone, they also help prevent the bone loss that typically follows tooth extraction.
Detailed 3D imaging and examination to map your jawbone structure and plan precise implant positioning.
The titanium post is placed into the jawbone using guided surgical techniques for optimal positioning.
Over several months, the implant fuses with your jawbone through osseointegration, creating a stable foundation.
A custom crown, bridge, or denture is secured to the integrated implant for a natural-looking, lasting result.
One implant post topped with a custom ceramic crown to replace an individual missing tooth. This option preserves adjacent teeth. No alteration of neighboring teeth is required, unlike a traditional bridge.
Two or more implant posts supporting a fixed bridge that replaces several missing teeth in a row. This approach distributes biting force across the implants and provides a stable, non-removable restoration.
A full-arch solution for patients missing most or all teeth in an arch. Using strategically placed implants, we can support a full set of fixed teeth that restore chewing function, speech, and confidence without the drawbacks of traditional removable dentures.
