I recently changed jobs and I never for one second thought to check and see if Dr. Meek accepted my new insurance...because it wouldn't have mattered. I would pay out of pocket...and may still end up doing that...totally fine with that. It's not just Dr. Meek...it's his entire staff from top to bottom and that has always been the case since my first visit there. You couldn't be in better hands... literally.

Everyone was very friendly, there was a miss communication and they handled it perfectly. I would deeply recommend this. Mis communications happen all the time and yet a business that handles it perfectly and the way you as a customer would want, makes me want to recommend 38th street dental to everyone!! Highly suggest them! 5 star

If you have a single missing tooth, your dentist will typically recommend a dental implant and crown to restore your smile. This option is more conservative than a traditional dental bridge, which requires filing down the teeth on each side of the tooth gap. We have helped many patients rebuild their smiles and improve their quality of life through implants.
Why Austin Chooses 38th Street Dental for Implants Specialization, Comfort, Technology

Dental Implants: A Superior Restorative Treatment
Dr. Mike Meek and Dr. David J. Tasch at our Austin, TX, dental office use implants from Nobel Biocare®, a leader in the development of implants, and place them using the latest techniques and technology. These implants are small titanium posts that are surgically placed in the jawbone, where they mimic a natural tooth root. 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.
We Utilize Sophisticated Dental Imaging for Superior Results
3D computed tomography (CT) scanning technology provides your dentist with images of your teeth, soft tissues, and nerves in one scan. Granting us substantially more detailed imagery than a typical X-ray, this resource helps pave the way for safe, effective pre-surgical treatment planning and precise implant placement.
With us, you can feel confident that our state-of-the-art treatment planning technology helps cut down on surgery time and can reduce post-operative pain and swelling. From the moment you visit us for a dental implant consultation, we take every measure to ensure the success of your procedure and your comfort every step of the way.

Qualifying for Dental Implants is Easy
If you’re considering dental implants, here’s what you should know about ideal candidates for the procedure:
Good Periodontal Health
Patients who suffer from gingivitis or periodontal disease are unlikely to be ideal candidates. If you have an infection, your dentist can provide gum disease treatment to ensure these issues are resolved.
Good Overall Health
Dental implant placement is a surgery, so patients must be healthy enough to undergo surgery. Our dentists will review your medical and dental histories during your consultation to determine if you can move forward with treatment.
Sufficient Bone Density
Patients need enough bone density to support and protect the implants. If insufficient jawbone density prevents you from getting an implant, your dentist may first recommend procedures designed to strengthen your jaw.
Not sure if you are a candidate?
A Deep Dive Into Preparatory Procedures Your Options for Improving Candidacy
If you're not a candidate for traditional dental implants, our Austin dentists may be able to restore your candidacy with preparatory procedures like:
Tooth Extraction
Decayed and otherwise unhealthy teeth that can't be saved with a root canal procedure must be extracted. Our Austin dentists can perform gentle extraction and may be able to extract your tooth and place an implant in the same procedure, streamlining your care.
Bone Grafting
Jawbone atrophy occurs just months after losing a tooth. If your jawbone has atrophied as a result of tooth loss, bone grafting may be necessary before you can undergo implant placement. Our team can use synthetic material or bone from a donor site to add density to your jawbone.
Gum Disease Treatment
Gum disease causes sensitivity, loose teeth, and tooth loss. If you have gum disease, our team can perform a scaling and root planing treatment to remove plaque from above and below the gumline, improving your overall oral health and saving your existing teeth.
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 and you aren't a candidate for bone grafting, 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.
This option not only allows many patients to skip bone grafting to receive implants, but also makes it possible to begin wearing an implant-supported denture immediately after implant placement.

Dr Meek was very very kind speaking with me about my current dentures and how they are fitted. He gave me recommendations for implants and costs, as well as inform me that he was not the best Dentist to provide me with a new set of complete dentures. He referred to me as a complex case that needs a Prosthodontist who can provide a bottom denture for my underbite. My upper denture will be routine. It's not very often you get a Doctor telling you they are not the best for you, but Dr. Meek said he is sending me to the best. I am recommending Dr. Meek for my Daughter and I encourage others to do the same. His staff is very kind as well. Overall, a nice and informative consult he did not charge me for..jjc

I want to give a 7 star review for Dr Tasch and his assistant Courtny. They treated me with only what I needed and also created a comfortable family environment. I found them cheaper too. Being new to austin, I had a bad experience with my previous dentist which even caused decay in my teeth. I was checking with google reviews (most with fake reviews and unnecessary expensive treatments) of other dental places and it was a nightmare until I found 38th Dental (I chose them despite they were out of my network). I can eat carefree now without worrying about my teeth at all. Definitely worth visiting and I already scheduled for my next appointment.

A dental implant-supported restoration replaces the entire tooth structure from root to crown. Made of biocompatible titanium, a dental implant bonds with the bone tissue in your jaw for unmatched stability. Dental implant treatment at our practice takes approximately five months from start to finish and provides the next best thing to real teeth.
Dental Implants Treatment Timeline
Our Austin dentists collaborate with specialists at important milestones during treatment to ensure optimum care. While every case is unique, the timeline for dental implants generally follows these steps:
Are you concerned about dental implant surgery? We offer sedation services so you can stay relaxed throughout treatment.

How painful is getting a dental implant?
You may feel some pressure but should not feel any pain during the procedure. You may feel some pain and discomfort in the first three to five days following your surgery. Any pain or swelling can be managed with cool compresses and over-the-counter medication.How long do dental implants last?
While your restoration may need to be replaced after about 10 years, your dental implant can last a lifetime. Good oral hygiene habits can extend the life of your new restoration and keep your remaining natural teeth healthy.
When is it too late to get an implant after a tooth extraction?
It is never too late! The earlier you seek treatment, the more likely you are to prevent oral health issues like jawbone atrophy. However, it is never too late to place an implant after a tooth has been extracted and a healthy smile foundation has been confirmed. If oral health issues are affecting your candidacy, we can address them.
What is the success rate of implants?
According to the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, dental implants have a 95% success rate. The likelihood of your implants failing decreases when you trust your care to the experienced and skilled dentists at our Austin, TX, office.
