Dental Implants Austin and Dental Implants Lakeway

Here's some before and after pictures of a smile using dental implants. Our patient had been missing his front tooth for years. He lost the front tooth from an accident when he was a child. Since then he wore a flipper to replace the missing front tooth. The flipper was removable and didn't look or feel as natural as our patient desired. After an implant was placed we placed a porcelain crown over the implant to improve the smile. Our patient says that having his tooth back has been life-changing! His new smile is permanent and looks and feels natural!

Lakeway Dentist returns from Dental Mission Trip in Peru

Lakeway and Austin Dentist, Dr Tejas Patel returned from a week long Dental Mission Trip to Peru. Dr Patel says the following about his experience volunteering in Peru, " It was truly amazing, we got to help out so many people. The people were so great and welcoming! I'm looking forward to the next time!" Dr Patel travelled with Kindess in Action a Canadian based non profit organization that sets up Dental Clinics in Central and South America, Africa and Southeast Asia. There were 6 total Dentists, 2 Dental Hygienists and a team of 18 others who volunteered during the Peru Trip. The team set up a free Dental Clinic in Yuquay, a small town in the Sacred Valley. The closest bg city is Cusco, which is an hour away by bus. The team worked 4 and a half days and saw around 400 patients, including children and adults. They were able to do hundreds of fillings and extractions and cleanings. The population doesn't have access to dental care so this is often the most care they've ever receive. Dr Patel says, " the great thing about the trip was that we did many more fillings than extractions which translates into, we were able to save many more teeth than normal that would have otherwise have been pulled." Dr Patel was the only American on the trip and was joined by an all Canadian team. Third world dentistry and Giving Back are two of Dr Patel's passions and he says," I'm so fortunate to have had such an amazing opportunity and experience to give back internationally!" Dr Patel enjoys the Spanish Language, it was even his major in college. The trip also gave him the opportunity to brush up on his Spanish skills. Dr Patel gives back locally as well by volunteering in a Rotary Dental Clinic in Marble Falls and will soon be volunteering at a local Lakeway Dental Clinic associated with the Lakeway Church.

Lakeway Dentist Dr. Tejas Patel attends the Lake Travis Education Foundation 2010 Crystal Ball Gala

We had an amazing time at the 2010 Lake Travis Education Foundation Crystal Ball! This annual Lakeway event is always so much fun! The silent and live auctions were filled with fantastic items! We can't wait to see what we won later this week! The Ballroom looked spectacular at the Renaissance Hotel in the Arboretum in Northwest Austin, Tx. The music from the Spasmatics brought back some 80's flashbacks! It was great seeing friends, new and old, as well as many of our awesome clients! The LTEF does so many great things for our Lake Travis school district and Lakeway schools. It was so wonderful to see a great turn out and the support of the Lakeway community for such a memorable event!
