Missing teeth can make life more complicated than it should be—eating becomes awkward, smiling might feel forced, and speaking clearly can be a challenge. That’s where dental implants come in.
At Council Oak Perio in Austin, TX, we specialize in restoring your smile with advanced, reliable implant solutions that feel and function like natural teeth.
Dental implants are small titanium posts placed into your jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. After the healing process, they securely anchor restorations such as crowns, bridges, or even full-arch solutions like all-on-4 dental implants. Unlike traditional tooth replacements, implants are built to last—and they look and feel completely natural.
When it comes to restoring your smile, not all tooth replacement solutions offer the same benefits. Here’s a quick comparison to help you understand how dental implants measure up against traditional options:
| Tooth Replacement Option | Preserves Jawbone | Natural Look & Feel | Long-Term Durability | Stable, Secure Fit |
| Dentures | ✘ No | ✘ Occasionally | ✘ Limited | ✘ May Shift |
| Bridges | ✘ Partial | ✓ Generally | ✓ Moderate | ✓ Fairly Secure |
| Dental Implants | ✓ Yes | ✓ Yes | ✓ Yes | ✓ Yes |
As the table shows, dental implants stand out as the most comprehensive and long-lasting solution. They not only look and feel like natural teeth but also support the health of your jawbone and provide a secure, worry-free fit.
Here’s what makes them so popular:
This isn’t your average dental practice. At Council Oak Perio, your comfort and results are our top priorities.
We’re proud to offer 3D CBCT imaging and the YOMI® robotic guidance system—a combination that ensures precise implant placement. In fact, Dr. Bingham is the first and only dental surgeon in Central Texas using this state-of-the-art technology.
With years of specialized periodontal training, Dr. Bingham blends precision with compassion. His personalized treatment plans take every detail into account, ensuring predictable results for every patient.
He’s also the first and only dental surgeon in Central Texas to use the YOMI® robotic guidance system for implant placement. This advanced technology allows for minimally invasive procedures with maximum accuracy and comfort.
Good question. If you’re missing one or more teeth and in relatively good health, you’re likely a strong candidate.
Worried about bone loss? Don’t stress—we offer bone grafting and sinus lifts to help prepare your mouth for implants.
It’s a journey, but not a scary one. With advanced technology and a caring team, the experience is more comfortable—and more efficient—than you might expect.
We’ll start with a comprehensive evaluation, including a high-definition 3D CBCT scan of your mouth. This advanced imaging allows us to assess the bone structure, nerves, and surrounding tissues with exceptional clarity.
Dr. Bingham will then use the YOMI® robotic guidance system to design a precise, fully customized treatment plan. Every detail is mapped out to ensure the implant is placed in the ideal location for both function and aesthetics.
The dental implant is placed with robotic-assisted accuracy, resulting in a minimally invasive and efficient procedure. Most patients are surprised at how quick and comfortable this step actually is.
During the healing phase, your jawbone naturally fuses with the implant in a process known as osseointegration. This creates a stable foundation that mimics the strength and support of a natural tooth root.
After the healing process, a personalized crown is firmly placed on top of the implant. The outcome is a realistic, fully functional tooth that blends in effortlessly with your natural smile.
Nope—thanks to advanced techniques and multiple sedation options, most patients say the procedure is easier than expected. At Council Oak Perio, your comfort is a top priority from start to finish. Plus, with our minimally invasive approach and precise technology, recovery is often quicker and smoother than traditional methods.
With proper care, they can last for decades—sometimes even a lifetime. Just like natural teeth, implants need consistent brushing, flossing, and regular dental checkups to stay healthy. The good news? They’re built to be strong, stable, and durable for the long haul.
When it comes to restoring your smile, Council Oak Perio delivers expert care with a personal touch. Dr. Bingham is known for his precision, compassion, and commitment to helping patients achieve lasting, natural-looking results with dental implants.
