FAQs
How do dental implants work?
Dental implants have three main parts: a screw-like titanium post that’s anchored in your jaw and acts as a tooth root; a durable, natural-looking crown that enables you to chew foods normally and fills in gaps in your smile; and an abutment, which connects the other two components. The post integrates with your jawbone and becomes a permanent part of your body within a few months.
Is getting dental implants painful?
We have a process in place that enables us to precisely place your dental implants to the specifications of your mouth, making for a perfect, comfortable fit. What’s more, advanced technology allows us to completely pre-plan your procedure, making it go quicker and more smoothly, leaving less chance for complications. During the placement procedure itself, we always provide an anesthetic to keep you relaxed and pain-free.
Can I get dental implants if I have limited bone mass in my jaw?
We can restore your jawbone density and make you a candidate for dental implants with a procedure called bone grafting.
How much will my dental implants cost?
Though it’s hard to put a price on the value dental implants can provide you, several factors figure into the cost, including bone grafting, tooth extractions and the number of dental implants you need. Your dentist can help you determine your actual cost during a consultation here in our Cookeville, TN office. Schedule your visit soon!
Do dental implants require special care?
Dental implants are practically indistinguishable from natural teeth and require the very same type of care. Remember to brush and floss two times daily and visit us for regular cleanings.
Are dental implants really the best teeth replacement option?
While dentures are a time-tested solution, dental implants integrate with the jaw just like natural tooth roots, preserve your jawbone health, and mirror natural teeth in look, feel and function. Dental implants never slip and don’t require adhesives.
How do I get started?
A personalized consultation with your dentist in our Cookeville, TN office is the best way to begin! He’ll take time to listen to your concerns and preferences, perform a thorough evaluation, then recommend the best implant option for you.
