Dental Implants in Knoxville, TN

Dental implants are a durable, natural-looking solution for missing teeth. A titanium post is surgically placed into your jawbone, serving as a foundation for a custom crown, bridge, or denture. This process restores function and aesthetics, preventing bone loss and preserving facial structure. Implants offer a stable, long-term fix.

01.

Process

Consultation & Exam: Your dentist evaluates your oral health, takes X-rays, and discusses the best treatment plan.

Implant Placement: A titanium post is surgically inserted into your jawbone, acting as an artificial tooth root.

Healing Period: Over the next few months, the implant fuses with your jawbone (a process called osseointegration), ensuring stability.

02.

Next Steps

Abutment Placement: Once healed, a small connector (abutment) is attached to the implant to hold the crown.

Final Restoration: A custom crown, bridge, or denture is placed on the abutment, completing your new smile.

Follow-up: After receiving dental implants, maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing daily. Regular checkups ensure the implants stay secure and healthy.
