Hey! I'm Dr. Bryan Stimmler, and I'm excited to bring a new kind of dental experience to the San Marcos area (you know...the kind of experience where you don't totally dread going to the dentist!). I see firsthand how much a smile can impact a person's confidence and quality of life. That's why my goal is to make your visit convenient, anxiety-free, and, dare I say, enjoyable! I'm passionate about helping my patients experience a better life, through better dentistry.
When I'm not at the office, you might run into me grabbing a taco at Lazarus, or walking my dog Raymond around the Greenbelt. I have a black belt in jiu-jitsu and also enjoy cooking (ask me about my shrimp scampi!). My patients would tell you that my "chair-side manner" is casual and down-to-earth, with an emphasis on providing education and putting you in control of your oral health.

Most people in good general health, with sufficient jawbone to support an implant, are candidates for dental implants. However, certain conditions, such as uncontrolled diabetes, heavy smoking, or severe gum disease, may affect the success of the implant. A consultation at San Marcos Dental and Braces can determine if dental implants are right for you.
Dental implants offer several benefits, including:
Most patients report that the discomfort associated with dental implant surgery is minimal, and it's well managed with local anesthesia and over-the-counter pain relievers. Some discomfort and swelling may occur after the procedure, but these symptoms typically subside within a few days.
The dental implant process can vary, typically ranging from a few months to over a year, depending on individual needs and healing times. The process includes the initial consultation, surgery to place the implant, the healing period (osseointegration), and the placement of the abutment and artificial tooth.
Dental implants have a high success rate, often exceeding 95%. Factors that contribute to the success of the implant include the patient's overall health, the health of the jawbone, and adherence to good oral hygiene practices.
Caring for dental implants is similar to caring for natural teeth. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups are essential to maintaining the health of the implant and surrounding teeth. Our team at San Marcos Dental and Braces will provide detailed aftercare instructions and recommendations.
Dental implant coverage varies by insurance plan. Some plans may cover a portion of the cost, while others may not cover implants at all. Our office team can help you understand your insurance benefits and explore financing options to make your treatment more affordable.
The first step is to schedule a consultation at San Marcos Dental and Braces. During your visit, we'll assess your oral health, discuss your treatment goals, and determine if dental implants are the right solution for you. We're committed to providing personalized, comprehensive care to help you achieve a healthy, beautiful smile.
