Many people hide their smile because of missing teeth. Chipped, broken or missing teeth may cause anxiety and a lack of confidence.

Have Questions?
What is a dental implant?
- A dental implant is primarily made from a lightweight, strong, biocompatible titanium alloy. The implant is surgically placed into the jaw where it osseointegrates. The surrounding bone fuses with the titanium, creating a stable anchor for the new tooth. A new crown will then be placed on top of the dental implant, giving you a rock-solid tooth replacement option
How much do implants cost?
- On average, a single dental implant can cost between $1,000 to $4,500. However, for more comprehensive solutions such as the All-on-4 concept or all-on-x fixed hybrid implants, the costs can be higher.
Are dental implants painful?
- Dental implants are placed in your jaw bone. Nerve endings do not end directly in bone. While some patients may experience soreness in their gum tissue, most are able to resume their typical work schedule the next day. Tylenol is all that is typically needed to keep you comfortable.
How long do dental implants take to heal?
- Dental implants average about 3 months it fully fuse with your bone. You can get your new crown placed on the implant once the implant is healed. However, there are many instances where the bone is so strong that we can place a crown on top of the implant immediately.
What is the success rate of dental implants?
- In Knoxville, TN dental implants have a 95-99% success rate. While some medically compromised patients may experience more difficulty healing, the vast majority of people in the Knoxville area love their dental implants. A review you medical history will really help us to determine your surgical risk for dental implants.
