What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a long-lasting and state-of-the-art solution for replacing an entire tooth, including the root. They consist of three main components: a titanium post that acts as the root, an abutment that connects the post to the crown, and a custom-designed crown that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth. Could Dental Implants Give You Back Your Smile?
Cosmetic dental implants require a surgical procedure, which is why at Dean Cosmetic Dentistry we partner with the best oral surgeons and periodontists in the Knoxville area. Our network of surgeons provides dental implants, while Dr. Dean designs and places the crown, which replaces the visible part of your tooth right here in our state-of-the-art, premier dental practice.
Am I a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?
Cosmetic dental implants are a transformative solution for individuals looking to restore their smile and regain full oral functionality. They provide a durable, natural-looking alternative to traditional dentures, bridges, or partials. You may be an ideal candidate for the best dental implants if:
You are Missing One or More Teeth
Whether you’ve lost a single tooth or multiple teeth due to injury, decay, or other dental issues, implants can fill the gaps and restore the appearance and function of your smile.
You want an Alternative to Dentures, Bridges, or Partials
If you’re tired of the discomfort or hassle of removable dentures or traditional bridges, implants provide a permanent, stable, and more convenient option.
You have Healthy Gums and Sufficient Bone Density
Strong, healthy gums and adequate jawbone support are essential for implant placement. If you lack sufficient bone, our team may recommend bone grafting to prepare for implants.
You’re Committed to Good Oral Hygiene
Implants require proper care, including regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental visits, to maintain their longevity.
During your consultation, our expert implant dentistry team will thoroughly evaluate your oral health, including X-rays and a full assessment of your gums and jawbone. If dental implants are a good fit for you, we’ll develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
If implants aren’t immediately suitable due to factors like gum disease or insufficient bone density, don’t worry — Dr Dean and Dr Huckaba can guide you through preliminary treatments to help you become a candidate for implants.
