High-Quality Dental Implants in Ardmore, OK

Our Dental Implant Services

• Implant Placement: Dental implant placement is a precise process that involves creating a small hole in the jawbone and securing a titanium post inside it. The healing process, also called osseointegration, will work to fuse the implant with the jawbone, creating a very stable base for an artificial tooth to attach to.
• Implant Restoration: Implant crowns typically need to be modified or replaced around every ten to fifteen years due to wear and tear. In rare cases, the actual titanium implant itself needs adjustment or replacement. Whatever your case may be, our team would be happy to take a look at your implant(s) and provide you with the care you need.
• Denture Stabilization: Did you know implants and dentures can be combined? Implant-supported dentures can replace many missing teeth at once, and they feel extremely stable and secure in the mouth, as they attach to a few implants that are placed throughout the arch. There is no special care required either; they can be treated like normal dentures.
• Mini Implants: Mini implants accomplish the same goal as traditional implants, but they are smaller and less invasive. The gums are numbed with local anesthetic, similar to having a cavity filled, and the implants are then screwed in; no incisions or stitches required. Mini implants also require less recovery time and tend to be more cost-effective than traditional implants.

Determining if You’re a Dental Implant Candidate

Dental implants can work well for many patients, but there are some factors that must be considered before an implant can be placed. Patients should ideally be in general good health and have a strong, healthy jawbone as well. Bone graft procedures can also be performed to ensure that the jawbone has enough healthy tissue to support an implant. During your consultation, we will review your preferences, current health status, and oral health needs to determine if you are a candidate for one or more implants and whether or not they are the right choice for you.

Affordable Dental Implants in Ardmore

Dental implants are not the cheapest way to replace missing teeth, but many patients find that they are well worth the investment due to their longevity, durability, and natural look and feel. Dental implants are usually partially or fully covered by dental insurance, and our practice is happy to accept both in and out-of-network dental plans. For patients who want to finance their care, our office accepts CareCredit^™, Alphaeon^® Credit, and LendingPoint^™ payment plans, which can divide the cost of dental implants into monthly payments.

What’s the difference between All-on-4® dentures and implant-supported dentures?

All-on-4 is a specific brand of implant-supported dentures. All-on-4 dentures and implant-supported dentures both replace many missing teeth, but they differ in design and stability. All-on-4 dentures use four strategically placed implants to support a fixed full-arch prosthetic, and there is a reduced need for bone graft treatments prior to implant placement. Implant-supported dentures, however, are removable and snap onto implants, which some patient prefer. Our team can review both options with you to determine your ideal restorative option.
