I have had the absolute pleasure of being a patient of Dr. Austins as he has rebuilt my mouth. Bone grafts, implants an extraction... he is amazing! My son also had his wisdom teeth removed by Dr Austin. Dr. Austin always calls after to check on you- makes himself available by cell 24-7. He manages pain and never, ever makes you feel like a problem. His staff is friendly and caring as well. Highly recommend!!

How Dental Implants Work

How Dental Implants Work
Dental implants are made up of three distinct comments: a titanium implant, abutment, and dental restoration. The structure ensures total stability within your jaw, and long-lasting results. 

Aren't Dental Implants Expensive? Flexible Financing Options Make Implants Affordable

At our offices in South Ogden and Brigham City, our prices are very competitive. Also, we only charge a single flat fee for implant treatment, which covers an initial consult, a CT scan, the implant itself, and the abutment. There are no surprise charges with us.

Some dental and medical insurance plans may contribute towards a portion of implant treatment. Our experienced team can help you make sense of your policy and maximize your benefits. For costs that are not covered by insurance, we can help you secure financing through CareCredit®. We also offer discounts to patients who choose to pay with cash.

While the upfront costs associated with dental implants may be higher than those of traditional dental restorations, the long-term benefits and durability of implants can actually save you money in the long run. If you have any questions about the costs of this form of dentistry, please contact us today.

Dental Implant Treatment Timeline

Throughout the process, we will coordinate with your primary dentist to ensure your treatment is as efficient and stress-free as possible.

Anesthesia

Local anesthesia will be administered to numb the treatment area. Dental sedation options are also available to help patients relax during implant surgery.

Jawbone Access

Dr. Austin will create small incisions in the gums to access the jawbone. Using a series of state-of-the-art dental instruments, Dr. Austin will create a small opening in the jawbone ridge to prepare the site for dental implant placement.

Implant Placement

Dr. Austin will strategically place the titanium posts, which act as replacement tooth roots, into the prepared sites in your jaw. We offer many different kinds of implants, so we'll be able to choose the perfect option for your situation. The incisions will then be closed with sutures.

Healing Period

Following placement, the jaw tissue will gradually fuse with the titanium implant. This process, called osseointegration, takes about three to six months to complete.

Abutment Placement

Once osseointegration is complete, Dr. Austin will attach a small connector piece known as an abutment to each implant.

Placement of Final Restoration

After the abutments have been added, your gums may need a few weeks to heal. Then, your dentist will attach your crown, bridge, or denture to your implants.

Qualifications You Can Trust

Dental implant treatment is complex and requires special training on your dentist's part. Unlike most dentists, Dr. Austin has completed additional education and training to become a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon. Thanks to his level of expertise, our South Odgen patients can expect excellent treatment results that make dental implants absolutely worth the investment

Living in a small town, I’m used to traveling to see a specialist. I’m so grateful my dentist recommended Dr. Ryan Austin! He has an office on the south end of Brigham City. They were able to get me in quickly and I was so impressed with the whole team. My surgery went great and Dr. Austin called my that night to check on me. When I had questions later during the next week I was able to text him and he responded promptly. He is careful and thorough. He is also kind and personable. I definitely recommend him to anyone! Thank you to the team there who made my surgery day, not so scary.

Made me comfortable (I have a fear of dentists), made lots of jokes, and his assistant was able to answer all of my questions. They even fit me in last minute! Enjoyed my time in this office!

Candidacy for Dental Implants

Patients considering dental implants must be in good overall health and should not have any medical conditions that could make surgery a risk. Individuals should also be free from extensive tooth decay or gum disease, as these issues can have a negative impact on the success of treatment.

If you do not have sufficient jawbone tissue to support implants, Dr. Austin can perform a bone grafting procedure at our oral surgery practices in Brigham City and South Ogden, UT. We will work with your dentist to ensure you are ready to undergo implant surgery.
