Your dental implant process begins with a free consultation to evaluate your oral health and jawbone density. If no issues are found and your jawbone can support implants, an appointment will be scheduled to drill into the jawbone and insert an implant to replace a missing tooth's root. Over months, the implant integrates with the jawbone through osseointegration before returning for restoration completion.

1. The Dental Implant Process

2. Your dental implant process will begin with a
free one­on­one consultation at our
Austin Cosmetic Dentistry office.

3. During this consultation, Dr. Schmid will carefully
evaluate the health of your teeth, gums, and jaw.

4. If there are preexisting oral health issues or your
jawbone lacks proper density, alternative tooth
replacement options may be discussed.
But…

5. If there are no preexisting oral health issues and
your jawbone is dense enough to support dental
implants, your appointment will be scheduled.

6. To place a dental implant, a small hole
will be drilled into the jawbone.

7. This small hole allows your implant to be inserted
directly into the jaw, where it will replace the
missing tooth’s root.

8. Your dental implant will integrate into your
jawbone over the course of a few months.

9. Following the completion of
osseointegration, you will return to our
Austin office to complete your restoration.
