Why Invest in Dental Implants?
Compared to alternative tooth replacement solutions, such as traditional dental bridges or dentures, implants offer a number of advantages. Patients who receive dental implants at our South Ogden and Brigham City, UT, dental offices enjoy many long-term benefits, including:
IMPROVED HEALTH
A missing tooth can compromise your oral and overall health. Dental implants fuse directly to your jaw and act just like the roots of natural teeth, restoring your smile and your health.
RESTORED FUNCTION
Compared to traditional options, this surgical procedure offers unmatched stability. Once healed, your new implant-supported restoration will feel and function just like natural teeth.
BOOSTED CONFIDENCE
Implants eliminate the gaps in your smile. Replacing a missing tooth or teeth with an implant-supported restoration can boost your confidence and give you something to smile about.
How Dental Implants Work
Dental implants are made up of three distinct components: a titanium implant, an abutment, and a dental restoration. The structure ensures total stability within your jaw and long-lasting results.
We Prioritize Your Comfort
“I highly recommend him to everyone. He was super quick and helpful and he even called that same night to check and see how I was doing. I highly recommend him to anyone!”

Your Timeline:
Dental Implant Treatment in South Ogden
Throughout the process, we will coordinate with your primary dentist to ensure your treatment is as efficient and stress-free as possible.
Local anesthesia will be administered to numb the treatment area. Dental sedation options are also available to help patients relax during implant surgery
Following placement,. the jaw tissue will gradually fuse with the titanium implant. This process, called osseointegration, takes about three to six months to complete.
Once osseointegration is complete, Dr. Austin will attach a small connector piece known as an abutment to each implant. This will be attached to your artificial teeth.
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.
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.
After the abutments have been added, your gums may need a few weeks to heal. Then, your crown, bridge, or denture will be attached to the implants.

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.
What to Expect during the Procedure
Dr. Austin will conduct a thorough evaluation to plan your bone grafting procedure. Because he is an oral surgeon, he has an expert understanding of the jaw, teeth, and bone, and can determine the best course of action catered to your individual case.
The surgery site is carefully closed with sutures. Special membranes are used to ensure a sealed incision and graft site that prevents bacteria from entering.
Dr. Austin will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions and medication to aid you during recovery. Healing after a graft usually takes a few months to complete. After the tissue has fully healed, you're ready for dental implants.
Anesthesia is administered to ensure your comfort at all times. Patients who are anxious may also choose to undergo IV sedation for maximum comfort.
After the patient is comfortable, Dr. Austin will create a small incision in the gums. He carefully places bone graft material into the affected jaw area, allowing it to fuse with the natural tissues.
Multiple Teeth and Full-Arch Replacement Options
As one of the most versatile treatments in the field of dentistry, dental implants can be used to replace any number of missing teeth. In addition to single tooth replacement with an implant-supported crown, dental implants can be used to restore multiple missing teeth with:
Implant-Supported Dentures
Traditional dentures rest on the gumline, which can lead to mobility and discomfort. Dr. Austin and your dentist can secure your dentures to implants for total stability.
Implant-Supported Bridges
Patients who are seeking a non-removable solution can opt for bridges that are firmly anchored to dental implants for unparalleled support.
All-on-4 Dental Implants
All-on4® offers a full-arch replacement solution that uses only four strategically placed implants. Patients with significant bone loss can qualify for this option.
