Renew Your Smile with Dental Implants
A Permanent Solution
If you're suffering from missing or decaying teeth, dental implants offer a durable, more permanent solution. Unlike other tooth replacement options, implants integrate with your jawbone, providing a stable foundation for a new tooth that looks, feels, and functions just like your natural teeth.
Improve Your Oral Health and Overall Well-being
Dental implants not only enhance your smile but also improve your oral health. They prevent bone loss, maintain facial structure, and eliminate the discomfort associated with missing teeth. By choosing implants, you're not only investing in your smile but also in your overall quality of life.

The Dental Implant Process: A Step-by-Step Guide
- Initial Consultation: We start with a comprehensive evaluation to determine if dental implants are right for you. This includes X-rays and 3D imaging to assess your oral health.
- Tooth Extraction (if necessary): If an existing tooth needs removal, we'll perform a gentle extraction and may place a bone graft to prepare for the implant.
- Implant Placement: The implant, a small titanium post, is placed into the jawbone and allowed to heal and integrate.
- Temporary Tooth Placement: To enhance the aesthetics and function, a temporary tooth may be placed during the healing process.
- Final Restoration: After healing, a custom-made abutment and crown are attached to the implant, completing your smile transformation.
The Benefits of Choosing Dental Implants
- Durability: Implants are designed to last many years, often a lifetime, with proper care.
- Improved Appearance: Custom-made to match your natural teeth, implants enhance your smile's aesthetics.
- Eat What You Love: No more dietary restrictions. Enjoy your favorite foods with confidence.
- Natural Speech: Implants allow you to speak naturally and comfortably.
- Preservation of Facial Structure: Prevents bone loss and maintains the natural shape of your face.
Judgment-free Dentistry in San Antonio, TX
Dr. Olivia Bustos
Hey, I’m Dr. Bustos and I aim to deliver my patients an exceptional, stress-free dental experience! I value patient relationships and actively listening to my patients’ needs and expectations. Treating each patient as if they are a member of my own family, with my warm and engaging personality, easily puts my patients at ease which allows for a comfortable and caring visit.
With my love of travel, I have been to countries such as the Dominican Republic, where I offered oral surgery and implants to the local community. I served as a past member of Habitat for Humanity and continue to volunteer my time with San Antonio youth mentorship programs. When I find free time, you can either catch me biking all over San Antonio with my husband, Brandon, cooking, traveling or spending time with my furry friends, Beatrix, Sophie, and Donny.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are small, titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as a stable foundation for replacement teeth. They are designed to mimic the root of a natural tooth and can support crowns, bridges, or dentures.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime. They are a long-term solution designed to integrate with your jawbone, providing durability and stability.
Are dental implants painful?
The procedure for placing dental implants is typically performed under local anesthesia and sedation, making it comfortable and painless. Post-surgical discomfort is usually mild and can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
How do I take care of my dental implants?
Caring for dental implants is similar to caring for natural teeth. This includes regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental checkups and cleanings. Good oral hygiene is essential to ensure the longevity of your implants.
Can anyone get dental implants?
Most people who are healthy enough to undergo routine dental extractions or oral surgery can be considered for dental implants. However, certain medical conditions and lifestyle factors may affect eligibility. A thorough evaluation is necessary to determine if implants are right for you.

The cost of dental implants varies depending on several factors, including the number of implants and the complexity of the case. At Cresta Bella Dental & Braces, we offer flexible financing options to make dental implants more accessible.

The dental implant process involves several steps, including implant placement, healing, and restoration. The total time can vary from a few months to over a year, depending on individual healing and treatment plans.

Yes, dental implants are designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth. They provide a strong and stable foundation for replacement teeth, enhancing both the aesthetics and functionality of your smile.
