Dental Implant Services in Round Rock, TX
Enhance Your Smile at Forest Creek Family Dental
Welcome to Forest Creek Family Dental, your destination for top-quality dental implant services in Round Rock, TX. If you are looking to restore missing teeth or improve your smile with durable and natural-looking solutions, Dr. Teri B. Gaddy, DDS, and our skilled dental team are committed to providing the best care with advanced technology in a compassionate environment.
If you’ve lost a tooth, Dr. Gaddy may have recommended getting a dental implant to fill the empty space and allow for optimal function of your teeth. The dental implant itself is only a replacement for the root of the lost tooth, so after it has been placed, you’ll still need to get a restoration, or replacement tooth.
Implants provide a strong foundation for fixed (permanent) or removable replacement teeth that are made to match your natural teeth.
Understanding Dental Implants
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are sophisticated, permanent fixtures that replace missing teeth. They consist of a titanium post implanted into the jawbone, a connecting abutment, and a custom-made crown that looks and functions like a natural tooth.
How Do Dental Implants Work?
Implants are anchored by a titanium post, which is surgically placed into the jawbone. Over time, this post integrates with the bone in a process known as osseointegration, creating a strong and stable foundation for the replacement tooth.
Dental Implant Restorations
Dental Crown
A dental crown is placed on top of a single-tooth implant, providing a functional and aesthetic solution that blends seamlessly with your existing teeth, enhancing both appearance and bite.
Dental Bridge
For those missing several teeth, implant-supported bridges offer a fixed, stable solution. Using implants as anchors, these bridges fill the gap with artificial teeth, restoring functionality and aesthetics.
Implant-Supported Denture
Implant-supported dentures offer a modern alternative to traditional dentures, providing a more secure fit that improves speech and eating, with fewer dietary restrictions.
The Benefits of Dental Implants
Durability and Longevity
Implants provide a long-term solution for tooth loss, with the potential to last a lifetime with proper care, surpassing other tooth replacement options in both functionality and appearance.
Enhanced Oral Health
Unlike bridges, implants do not require altering adjacent teeth, which preserves more of your natural tooth structure and improves long-term oral health.

Exploring Types of Dental Implants
Endosteal Implants
These are the most popular type of dental implants, placed directly into the jawbone and providing a strong base for artificial teeth.
Single-Tooth Implant
Ideal for individuals missing one tooth, these implants are inserted into the jawbone and topped with a crown, offering a discrete and effective restoration.
Mini Dental Implant (MDI)
Smaller in size, MDIs are often used for patients who seek a less invasive procedure or have limited bone density. They are typically utilized to stabilize dentures.
Subperiosteal Implants
Positioned on top of the jawbone but beneath the gums, these implants are suitable for patients who are not candidates for traditional bone grafting.
Zygomatic Implants
This less common option is employed in cases of significant bone loss, where the implant is anchored in the cheekbone.
