Dental implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. The person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything and can smile with confidence, knowing that teeth appear natural and that facial contours will be preserved. The implants are tiny titanium posts that are placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth. In addition, dental implants can help preserve facial structure, preventing the bone deterioration which occurs when teeth are missing.
Dental implants are changing the way people live! With them, people are rediscovering the comfort and confidence to eat, speak, laugh and enjoy life.

Replace Missing Teeth With Durable Implants

Dental implants in San Antonio TX are metal anchors, which act as tooth root substitutes. They are surgically placed into the jawbone. Small posts are then attached to the implant, which protrudes through the gums. These posts provide stable anchors for artificial replacement teeth.
For most patients, the placement of dental implants involves two surgical procedures. First, implants are placed within your jawbone. For the first three to six months following surgery, the implants are beneath the surface of the gums, gradually bonding with the jawbone. You should be able to wear temporary dentures and eat a soft diet during this time. At the same time, your restorative dentist designs the final bridgework or denture, which will ultimately improve both function and aesthetics.
After the implant has bonded to the jawbone, the second phase begins. The surgeon will uncover the implants and attach a small healing collar. Dr. Bryhn Simmons can then start making your new teeth. An impression must be taken. Then posts or attachments can be connected to the implants. The replacement teeth are then made over the posts or attachments.
The entire procedure usually takes six to eight months. Most patients do not experience any disruption in their daily life.

Patient Review By Noel M
Dr. Bryhn also pulled 4 of my teeth in addition to 2 implants. He and Thelma did everything to make me comfortable during the procedure which meant a lot. Dr. Bryhn is well experienced and so knowledgeable, and I would trust him to work on anyone I know. He is the best prosthodonist in San Antonio and is so down to earth.

Patient Review By DPatrick C
My name is Dpatrick . I was thinking as I was preparing to write this review that anybody who reads it will probably think that I am probably being paid to write it. The reason being that I am so totally happy with all of the work that has been done over the years by doctors Wayne and Bryhn Simmons. I was involved in a serious accident in the spring of 1992. My jaw was shattered, I had groups of 3 and 4 teeth separated from the mandible, and teeth that where sheared from the impact of the lower row of teeth being slammed into the upper row of teeth. Overall it was a pretty traumatic experience. As the recovery process began it was evident that I would need someone who really knew what they were doing to put me back together again. After two years of searching I found Doctor Wayne Simmons and we had a consultation. I felt comfortable with h is plan of action and his professionalism. So the journey began for me. Now more than twenty five years later I am still a patient with Dr. Simmons, and a happy patient as well. Dental work is always a work in progress and every time that I return, whether it be for a simple cleaning or something more complicated, I know and I am confident that I am in good hands and the treatment I receive will be the best that modern medicine has to offer. On more than one occasion I have had people tell me, "You have beautiful teeth." I cannot tell you just how good that makes me feel, and when I receive a compliment like that my mind goes back to memories I have from Dr. Simmons office. I was hurt and they took care of me like family, and they put me back together again. Sometimes I cannot tell which of my teeth are real and which are implants. Technology has come a long way regarding many aspects of medicine, and I believe that my teeth are just as good if not better than what God Almighty gave me to begin with. I am also very comfortable with Dr. Wayne's son, Dr. Bryhn Simmons. He is a top notch physician who began practiciing about the same time as my reconstruction began, and now all of a sudden, he has twenty five years under his belt. Dr. Wayne*s wife, Helen, oversees the office. This family has built a tremendous operation here in San Antonio and I would recommend anyone that is dental work to give them a call. They will sit down with you and discuss your options. Even though the accident that I was involved in was a traumatic experience, it has truly turned out to be a lesson for me. I have learned a lot about dentistry and when I see a friend having trouble with tooth issues I am quick to recommend a trip to the doctor. Technology has come a long way. If you can save a tooth, save it. Brush and floss regularly, it's important. There are so many options available today, if you have an issue see what your options are and start the process.. If you are looking for a great team, contact Dr. Wayne or Dr. Bryhn Simmons, next thing you know, you might just find yourself writing a review
Yours truly, DPatrick.

Patient Review By Randy and Nida F
I was unable to make it to Nida's last visit and wanted to tell you personally how much I appreciate all the work you did for her. The entire staff, front desk to dental technicians, were always very professional and helpful to us both. Everyone showed a genuine concern for Nida's dental needs from start to finish. The process was explained carefully and everything went according to the plan you established.
Nida is very happy with the appearance of her implants, and we are both glad we found your practice. Although it is a bit of a drive from Bulverde, it was well worth it.
We look forward to seeing everyone again during Nida's follow ups and cleanings!!

Patient Review By Ronald G
I have had a wonderful 25 year experience with Dr. Wayne Simmons and his staff. I not only have experienced great professionalism and fine dental care but have considered Dr. Simmons a friend since I first visited his office in 1991. I have not and would not consider another dental facility and staff for my dental needs. I am happy to be part of his dental patient family.
After the implant has bonded to the jawbone, the second phase begins. The surgeon will uncover the implants and attach a small healing collar. Dr. Bryhn Simmons can then start making your new teeth.
