Dental Implants: A Lasting Solution for a Confident Smile
Missing teeth can affect your confidence, oral health, and daily comfort. At Bethany Family Dental Portland, we provide advanced dental implants to restore your smile with long-lasting, natural-looking results.
Dental implants are one of the most effective and durable solutions for replacing missing teeth. Designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth, implants can help you regain full chewing ability and confidence in your smile.
Dental implants are artificial roots and teeth, usually made of titanium, that we surgically place into the upper or lower jawbone. The teeth attached to these look natural and often enhance or restore a patient’s smile. Because they are strong, stable, and durable, they last for many years. Occasionally, we may need to re-tighten or replace them due to normal wear.
Our implant dentists use advanced technology to ensure accurate placement and optimal comfort. We help patients regain confidence, chewing ability, and oral health with custom implant solutions tailored to individual needs.
Why Choose Our Dental Implant Solutions
Our dental implant specialist recommends implants to:
Replace one or more missing teeth without impacting neighboring teeth.
Address joint pain or bite issues resulting from teeth shifting into the space of a missing tooth.
Restore a patient’s confident smile.
Restore chewing, speech, and digestion.
Restore or enhance facial tissues.
Support a bridge or denture to enhance their stability and comfort.
What to Expect During the Implant Process
The dental implant process begins with a thorough consultation, where digital imaging and a comprehensive exam help map out your treatment. Once your plan is finalized, the implant is carefully placed into the jawbone during a precise, controlled procedure.
Healing is an important part of the process. Over the next few months, the implant integrates with your bone, creating a strong foundation. After healing is complete, a custom restoration is attached to the implant, completing your smile.
While the timeline can vary from patient to patient, the end result is a stable, functional, and natural-looking tooth replacement that can last for years to come.
At Bethany Family Dental Portland, we provide full care instructions after treatment. Good oral hygiene, healthy eating habits, and regular dental visits help your implant last for many years. Our restorative dentist will also guide you on proper aftercare.

Testimonials
Crown and filling experience went better than I expected. It's normally a painful process for me. Staff is always friendly and easy to deal with. We appreciate that they offer us different options since we don't have dental insurance.
Ilus Ka
Everyone is so nice and friendly. If you’re looking for a new dentist and team, I highly recommend Bethany Dental. I’ve gone in a few times for anual cleanings and some cavity fillings and I’ve left satisfied every time.
Marlyne Rodriguez
The staff was very friendly. Dr. Austria was very friendly and asked me lots of questions and listened to me. He made my appointment easy and stress free. I would recommend going to this office for your dental care.
Marcia Reyes
I just spent a very relaxing (really!) 2.75 hours being prepped for a new crown and having 3 fillings put in. Honestly, except for a slight prick of the numbing needle, the whole procedure was painless. Dr.Austria and his staff were friendly, the atmosphere was calming, and I knew I was in good hands.
Caroline Arnold
They were super friendly and considerate to any pain I was having. The Dr. asked often if I was in any pain, and I didn't even feel the shot like I usually do at my other dentist. They do everything they can to make you comfortable. I definitely recommend going here.
Jordan Harris
I'm in the process of getting a post and crown. Right now I'm healing from my bone graft and every person at this practice continually goes out of their way to make sure I heal well and every thing goes as planned. There was a problem with my bone graft initially and Dr. Austria continues to spend extra time on my mouth to help me keep on healing, at no extra expense to me.
Heather Stevens
Dr. Austria is one of the kindest, most capable, and awesome dentists I’ve ever had. I have a moderate level of anxiety around any dental work that requires local anesthesia, and Dr. Austria did everything he could to put me at ease when I unexpectedly needed numbing. The dental assistants are awesome too, non-judgmental and sweet and supportive. I’m so glad we found Bethany Family Dental.
