Dental implants are all about lasting change. There are a number of options available, and we here at The Smile Institute, we are on the leading edge of all things dental implant technology!

Single Dental Implants

For patients missing one tooth, an implant crown is the best option to replace that gap, preserve your bone, and save money in the long run. Implants will restore your chewing and they look and function just like natural teeth!

Multi-Implant Bridges

An implant bridge is a great option to fill in moderate-sized gaps in the smile. Unlike traditional bridges or partial dentures, an implant bridge is extremely strong and is a permanent option that preserves bone and can replace natural teeth for a lifetime.

Implant Stabilized Overdentures

An overdenture is a secure and cost-effective alternative to traditional dentures. This appliance would snap into place on 2-4 implants, help in preventing bone loss, and drastically improve chewing and tasting performance over traditional dentures.

MEET YOUR DOCTOR

DR. Luis Galvan

Your Cosmetic, Restorative & Implant Dentist in San Antonio, TX

Few dentists grow up in a household where both mom and dad were dentists! Dentistry had always been a goal for Dr. Luis Galvan, and with that kind of beginning, he had no choice but to follow in their footsteps.

Born in Mexico City, he attended UniTec University and graduated at the top of his class. He completed an Advanced General Practice Residency program in San Antonio and returned to Mexico City. He started to practice there in 1994 and was appointed to the UniTec Dental School faculty early in his dental career. A clinician with varied interests, he quickly expanded to three practices and a commercial dental laboratory.

Dr. Galvan pioneered dental implants in Mexico and had soon placed over 10,000 implants, flying from practice to practice providing advanced dental services for general dentists around Mexico City.

In 2006, he decided to move to the United States, where he completed his second professional dental program and was licensed again as a dentist at the San Antonio Dental School, graduating with honors and at the top of his class in 2008.
