The Gold Standard

Why implants outlast the alternatives

Dental implants at Hammons Family Dental are small titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone as artificial tooth roots. Through osseointegration they fuse with the bone, then support a custom crown, bridge, or denture — replacing single teeth, multiple teeth, or full arches in North Austin and Georgetown, TX with exceptional strength and a natural look.

A dental implant acts as an artificial tooth root: once healed, it’s restored with a custom crown, bridge, or denture depending on how many teeth need replacement. Because the implant fuses with the bone, it delivers strength, stability, and durability traditional bridges and removable dentures can’t match.

Implants also protect what you can’t see: when a tooth is lost, the jawbone deteriorates from lack of stimulation. Implants stimulate bone growth, helping maintain your facial structure. With proper care they can last for decades — a cost-effective choice in the long run.

Dr. Hammons has spent countless hours mastering implants and oral surgery, including years treating U.S. service members — and advanced imaging and planning tools guide precise placement. For patients missing multiple teeth, implant-supported dentures anchor firmly without slippage, and implant-supported bridges spare healthy adjacent teeth from being modified as anchors.

The Implant Process

Five stages, fully guided

1 · Consult & Plan

Thorough exam with digital X-rays or 3D scans, plus honest discussion of goals, costs, and any preliminary work like bone grafting.

2 · Placement

The titanium post is placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia — with sedation options available for comfort.

3 · Osseointegration

Over the next few months the implant fuses with the bone; a temporary restoration can maintain aesthetics and function while you heal.

4–5 · Restore & Follow Up

An abutment connects the integrated implant to your custom crown, bridge, or denture — then healing and stability are monitored at routine checkups.

Candidacy & Care

What implants require of you

A healthy starting point

Decay or gum disease gets treated first, and adequate jawbone density is needed to support the implant. If bone loss has occurred, grafting or sinus lifts can often rebuild a stable foundation — don’t lose hope before an evaluation.

Honest risk conversation

As with any surgery there are risks — infection, nerve damage, anesthesia complications — but they’re relatively rare with an experienced team and diligent aftercare. Everything is discussed openly at your consultation.

Simple maintenance

Implants don’t decay, but they need care: brush twice daily, floss (special floss or interdental brushes may help), keep routine checkups, and avoid ice-chewing and smoking, which jeopardize implant success.

“Tooth loss doesn’t have to limit your lifestyle or self-esteem. Implants offer a second chance at a fully functional, natural-looking smile.”

Common Questions

Questions patients ask about dental implants

What is a dental implant?

A small titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone as an artificial tooth root. After it fuses with the bone (osseointegration), it supports a custom crown, bridge, or denture — the closest alternative to regaining your original teeth.

How long do dental implants last?

With proper care — twice-daily brushing, flossing, routine checkups, and avoiding smoking and ice-chewing — implants can last for decades, making them cost-effective long term.

Am I a candidate for implants?

Ideal candidates have good oral health, adequate jawbone density, and overall well-being that supports healing. If you’ve lost bone, grafting or sinus lifts can often create the needed foundation — an evaluation tells you honestly where you stand.

Does getting an implant hurt?

Placement is done under local anesthesia, with sedation dentistry options for anxious patients. Most discomfort afterward is manageable, and healing is monitored closely through follow-up care.

What if I’m missing several teeth?

Implant-supported bridges replace multiple teeth without modifying healthy neighbors, and implant-supported (All-on-X) dentures anchor a full arch firmly — no slipping, far better comfort than traditional dentures.
