    Who Is A Candidate?

    At Widner Elite Oral Surgery & Dental Implants, we understand that improving your smile’s appearance and functionality is essential to your overall well-being. Still, you may be wondering whether you may qualify for a dental implant procedure in Austin, Texas. Let us guide you through the key factors to determine your eligibility.

    Implants can be utilized to replace one or multiple teeth, and they are even a viable alternative to dentures or bridges. If you have healthy gums and sufficient jawbone development, chances are you have enough bone structure to support an implant post. In cases where jawbone deterioration has occurred due to age or missing teeth, we can perform a bone graft or ridge augmentation to modify the bone and create a solid foundation.

    Our comprehensive assessment process involves evaluating your teeth, mouth, jaw and overall dental health. Dr. Steven Widner will utilize advanced dental technology to identify areas of bone loss, locate nerves and assess sinus shape. This imaging helps us make precise treatment evaluations.

    Your medical history and current health play a vital role in the success of your implant procedure with our oral surgeon. We will conduct a thorough medical assessment to ensure your implant heals and integrates with the jawbone optimally. Certain medical conditions and habits may impact your candidacy for dental implants. Factors such as diabetes, ongoing cancer treatment, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption or teeth grinding (bruxism) may require special consideration. Collaborating with our oral surgeon will enable you to determine the best approach for your unique situation.

    The complexity of your case and level of needed treatment will determine your candidacy. On average, each implant placement takes 30 to 60 minutes, while multiple implants may require two to three hours. Our team ensures your comfort during the procedure by administering a sedative to reduce stress.

    Discover if you are an ideal candidate for dental implants by contacting is at 512.452.3223. Our team is ready to evaluate your dental and medical health and provide you with further details. Achieve a confident smile and improved oral health with our expert care.

    I had my four wisdom teeth extracted recently. Dr Widner is highly skilled In tooth extraction. The billing and paperwork was very transparent. I had to pay pretty low amount with my Delta Dental insurance.
