Benefits and Advantages of Dental Implants:
Dental implants are replacement tooth roots, and provide a strong foundation for permanent or removable replacement teeth that are made to match your natural teeth. Dental implants don’t require using surrounding teeth for support, because the dental implants are fused to the bone and are self-supported. This anchoring into your jaw helps to strengthen the implant and create a stable base for the crown to replace your missing tooth/teeth.

The implant serves as a root for a replacement that will not only look and feel like a natural tooth, but will serve all the purposes of the rest of your teeth. These purposes include speech improvement, ease in eating and improvement in the appearance of your smile.

What’s the Process for Dental Implants?
Dental implant procedures are completed over the course of two phases. First, there is the initial implantation, which is followed up by the final restoration. The entire process may take up to one year to complete.

In the first phase, Dr. Tara Clements will examine the extent of your tooth loss and take X-rays and photos to plan out the implant placement. Each dental implant is placed into the area of the missing tooth’s root structure and healing begins immediately.

Over the course of three to six months, the dental implants grow together with the jawbone in the process known as osseointegration. This fusion in the bone is what makes dental implants sturdier than any other dental replacement options. Once the implant osseoinegration is complete, the prosthetic tooth (teeth) can be placed on top in the second phase of the dental implant procedure — restoration.

Dental implants can support a single crown, a dental bridge for multiple missing teeth, or a denture. Implant-retained dentures offer maximum success for patients who have lost an entire arch of teeth in the upper or lower jaw. Unlike traditional dentures, these are retained by titanium posts rather than resting unsecured on the gums.

How Much Do Dental Implants Cost?
The cost of a dental implant procedure can vary based on several factors, including how many teeth you are missing, where in the jaw they are located, and whether or not you need to have a preparatory procedure completed first. It is not unusual to require a bone graft to strengthen the area before a dental implant can be placed. The only way to know for sure how much your dental implant procedure will cost in total is to schedule a consultation with our implant dentist – Dr. Tara Clements. No matter the price, they are well worth the investment for a healthy, confident smile. We have taken several steps and made numerous investments to help lower the cost of dental implants for our patients.

How Do I Take Care of Dental Implants?
Because they mimic your natural tooth structure, dental implant maintenance is not so different from what you are already used to. You will still need to brush and floss regularly to remove bacteria and keep your gums and any remaining teeth healthy. Using an interdental cleaner or water flosser can help to achieve a more thorough clean. Visit your implant dentist as recommended for follow-up visits to ensure your dental implants stay strong and healthy for the long haul!

RUTH P.

I recently moved to TN and was not looking forward to seeing a new dentist after 19 years with my previous one. However, my anxieties were quickly cast aside by the welcoming, friendly, and professional staff. Dr Clements and Amy were fabulous, plus I was very impressed with their modern equipment and technology. All of my questions were answered while never feeling rushed. I knew as I left their office that Clements Dental Practice was a keeper.

Sopha B.

Highly recommend!! This is the best dental care I have ever had. They are excellent at what they do and are very caring and work hard to do what's best for you! After having had a previous experience that was not ideal, I was reluctant to find a new dentist that I could trust. Dr. Tara and staff are simply the best!!

Amy H.

I can not express how wonderful my experience was today. I can say, I never had this level of treatment and care at my previous dental office. Everyone was kind and courteous from checkin to checkout. Dr. Massey and my hygienist (her name escapes me - so sorry because she was amazing) are top notch and thorough. My teeth have never received the attention they did today at any other practice. My husband had his appointment yesterday, and he shares the same experience and review. Thank you to everyone for making my visit the highlight of my day! I truly mean that!
