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.

  • Permanent solution to missing tooth/teeth
  • Stabilizing root for crown to be placed on
  • Improvement for your smile
  • Function like natural teeth

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!

Dr. Tara and her staff are always so great! They don't treat you like patients. They treat you like friends. I had a hygienist that I'd never met, but she knew my name from a Facebook Small Biz page and mentioned my custom coffee. Made me feel famous in a small town haha!! Always a wonderful experience!!

It's the only place to go to get dentalwork done if you have sensitivity issues. They always take extra careWith my issues. I won't go anywhere else, they are that good. I had a temporary crown done and had to have 3 injections prior to the procedure. I Felt NO PAIN DURING THE INJECTION PROCESS !!!! NO PAIN during the tooth prep, no pain at home after all was done. ZERO PAIN THE NEXT DAY!!! How can you not enjoy that? Everyone I know doesn't like going to the dentist. No one likes the prices!!!! Or the process!!! The best you will ever get and the most professional you will get is at CLEMENTS DENTAL!! I am blessed to have them . These are people that care about people!!! They will prove that when you sit in the chair.

I absolutely love Clements Dental. My family started going there couple years ago and from day 1 they treated us as though they’d known us forever. They are always very punctual and you’re usually done within an hour or less. Dr Massey is very thorough with explaining things and always gives quality care, frequently asking to make sure you are not experiencing discomfort! Highly recommended!
