Why should I choose dental implants?

Choosing dental implants means embracing a solution that offers more than just a cosmetic fix. These advanced, durable fixtures mimic natural teeth in both appearance and function, providing a stable and long-lasting solution to tooth loss. Carefully placed down to the root, they preserve your natural jawbone integrity and improve bite function. This restores your ability to eat, speak, and smile without worry, making them a worthwhile investment for both your dental health and quality of life.

The Benefits of Dental Implants

Unmatched Comfort

Implants mimic natural teeth, allowing normal brushing, flossing, and eating.

Aesthetically Pleasing

Each implant is custom-made to fit in flawlessly with your smile and resemble a real tooth.

Oral Health Preservation

Made from biocompatible titanium, implants fuse with your jawbone, preventing bone loss and maintaining your natural facial structure.

The Implant Treatment Process

Placement

Placement

After your treatment plan is confirmed, we'll arrange your oral surgery and outline the procedure. In the surgery, a precise incision will be made in your gum to place the dental implant into your jawbone securely. Following this, we'll meticulously clean the area and apply sutures to initiate the healing phase.

Healing & Osseointegration

Healing & Osseointegration

The healing process begins as soon as the implant is in place. The site of the incision will heal within 1-2 weeks. However, it takes about 3-6 months for the implant to fully integrate with your jawbone, a process known as osseointegration. During this period, we'll schedule a few follow-up visits to monitor your progress and ensure everything is healing correctly.

Applying the Restoration

Applying the Restoration

The final step is the restoration phase. We will tailor-make a beautiful dental crown that complements your smile seamlessly and attach it securely to the abutment which securely attaches to your implant. With this final step, your smile will be beautifully restored and complete!

I could not have asked for a nicer experience. I have a new patient exam and cleaning scheduled for later next month, but I needed in for an urgent matter. They fit me in their schedule and every person I spoke with was so nice and kind. Dr Epperson was extremely thorough and explained everything with me until I understood fully. Mind you, HE fit me in HIS busy schedule. I never felt rushed or lesser than. My scheduled visit will be with Dr. Jordan Payne and I know 1000% his care will be exceptional because of the environment all of their staff has made the workplace. I made the right choice finding my new dental office home!
