They are kind and accommodating. I have anxiety due to bad experience at a different dental office and the staff and dentists here make sure I’m okay each step of the way and explain what is happening. I will continue to see them even though they are out of network for my insurance because they are professional and helpful.

A dental implant is a small titanium post that is surgically placed in the jawbone, where it mimics a natural tooth's root. Drs. Meek and Tasch at 38th Street Dental in Austin typically use dental implants from Nobel Biocare®, a leader in the development of implants. For a full tooth restoration, you will need a dental implant, a connector piece called an abutment, and a crown, bridge, or denture to replace the visible portion of your missing teeth. Implants can be used alone or in groups to support a variety of restorations that look like your natural teeth.
How Many Teeth Are You Missing? We Have a Custom Solution
Missing One Tooth?
When a single tooth is missing, one dental implant can be used to hold a crown (artificial tooth), which will beautifully restore your smile and give you a strong, functioning bite.
Missing a Row of Teeth?
If you are missing a row of teeth, a bridge supported by implants instead of natural teeth is an ideal solution. By using implants, you can avoid altering healthy teeth to restore your smile.
Missing All Your Teeth?
Dental implants can securely hold an entire denture in place. These dentures will never slip out of place and the dental implants can help stop deterioration of the jawbone.
Do You Lack the Bone Density Needed for Dental Implants?
All-on-4 Dentures May Be a Solution
If you have been told you lack the bone density needed to support dental implants, you may qualify for an implant-supported denture using the All-on-4® method. By strategically placing the dental implants, this advanced technique can hold a denture on just four implants. Benefits include:
- Faster treatment time
- Less expensive than traditional implants
- Immediate placement of a temporary denture: in most cases, so you won't have to go without teeth
Genuine Heroes Who Help Others In Need

The people at 38th Street Dental are genuine heroes. They come in from their vacations during Christmas break to help others in need. They do so without complaint and only with well wishes for those they have rescued. After those they help get to go back home to their families, they are still there helping others. I was so lucky to find them 20 yrs ago; no way would I go anywhere else.
