Looking for a reliable, long-term solution to missing teeth? At The Oak Mountain Denture and Implant Center, we are your local Shelby county experts in dental implants. Whether you need to replace one tooth or several, dental implants are the best option available.
Unlike partials, which come in and out, or tooth bridges, which can destroy healthy tooth structure, implants are just metal roots that we use to support new teeth that function and feel like real teeth.
These titanium roots can support a single tooth or even many teeth in a row when multiple implants are used together as an implant bridge. This makes them a highly versatile option for many tooth replacement needs.
When you come to visit us, we will discuss whether dental implants are a good fit for you. Some patients may require preparatory procedures such as bone grafting or sinus lifts to fortify the bone before placing implants. These help ensure long-term success and stability.
If your teeth are a bit too damaged to maintain, or if you need to replace a full set of teeth (top, bottom, or both jaws), no problem at all – we still have many options to restore your smile, such as:
Our experienced team at Oak Mountain is here to help you explore the best options for tooth replacement, whether that’s a single implant or a full-arch solution. Contact us today to schedule your dental implant consultation!
Studies show that with proper health and hygiene habits, dental implants have a very low failure rate, with about 97% still going strong a decade after placement.
Most procedures are very straightforward and painless, with a recovery time of 1-2 days. For “full arch” treatments (extracting many teeth on the top or bottom), some mild swelling can be expected, with recovery within about a week.
Not everyone is a good candidate, depending on health history and other factors, but our free consults are a great way to see how we can help you!
This depends on many factors, including which tooth is being replaced and the strength of bone present at the site. While All-on-Four is a same-day procedure, single implants and implant bridges usually need a couple of months to heal. For important cosmetic or chewing situations, there are many ways to give you a temporary tooth while waiting for the final.
