A dental implant is placed into the jaw bone and is used to replace the root portion of a tooth. Once bone hardens around the implant it can be used to restore a single missing tooth space, to anchor a partial or full denture or various other combinations.
Dental implants are the most successful type of implant being done today. They have been researched extensively over the last ten years and products and techniques have improved dramatically. Dr. Booth has received a fellowship from the International College of Oral Implantology for his extensive continued education in implantology. Dr. Booth and the Silver Screen Dental team feel that it is a big advantage to get the surgical and restorative phases of dental implants done by the same doctor. It is more predictable when the restorative doctor places the implant with the final restoration and its long term success in mind.
Dr. Steven Booth of Silver Screen Dental is highly accomplished in this field. His extensive continuing education in the field of implants has lead to his fellowship in International Congress of Oral Implantology.
Dental implants can provide a perfect structural base for any dental work you might need. These implants, considered prostheses, are made from sturdy materials that are built to withstand everyday living. A quality dental implant will allow you to do all the chewing and biting that you normally would, with no changes or modifications.
Many people in Austin are choosing dental implants because they feel so natural. Implants themselves don't replace teeth, but they offer a secure platform for crowns, dentures, and bridges. Because the implant will fuse to the bone, it will literally become a part of your mouth; it doesn't get more secure than that.
Choosing the Right Office for Dental Implants in Austin
Dental implants do require oral surgery. Many Austin dental offices will need to refer you out to an oral surgeon to complete the surgery. But at Silver Screen Dental, we can handle this procedure in our office. The same dentist who places your implant will be the same dentist you consulted with and the same one who will be responsible for your aftercare: Dr. Steven Booth.
Dental implants aren't appropriate for all patients. Ideal candidates will have gums in good condition as well as enough bone for the implant to fuse to. When you schedule a consultation with the Silver Screen Dental office, we can help you decide whether dental implants are a good fit for your needs.
