Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants offer a wide range of benefits that make them the preferred tooth replacement option for many patients:
- Natural Look and Feel: Dental implants are designed to mimic your natural teeth in both function and appearance. Once healed, most patients can’t tell the difference.
- Improved Comfort: Unlike dentures, implants don’t move or shift in your mouth, so you can speak and eat with confidence.
- Long-Term Solution: With proper care, dental implants can last for decades, making them a smart investment in your oral health.
- Bone Preservation: Implants stimulate the jawbone, helping to prevent the bone loss that often occurs when teeth are missing.
- No Impact on Nearby Teeth: Unlike dental bridges, implants don’t require altering the adjacent teeth.
At The Dental Implant Center, we go beyond standard procedures by offering completely guided surgical implant insertion for precise placement and optimal results.
What to Expect During the Dental Implant Process
Dr. Andrew Young and our expert team have streamlined the dental implant process to make it as smooth and convenient as possible. Here’s what you can expect when you choose us for dental implants in Knoxville:
- Consultation and Evaluation
- Your journey begins with a thorough evaluation, including a 3D scan of your mouth and jaw. Dr. Young will assess your bone health and determine the best treatment plan for your unique needs.
- Guided Implant Placement: Using state-of-the-art technology, we perform fully guided implant surgery, ensuring pinpoint accuracy and minimal discomfort. This level of precision increases the success rate and speeds up the healing process.
- Healing and Integration: The implant post needs time to fuse with your jawbone—a process called osseointegration. While this typically takes a few months, temporary options may be available so you’re never without a smile.
- Restoration and Follow-Up: Once healing is complete, we’ll place your final restoration—whether a crown, bridge, or denture—crafted to match your natural teeth. We’ll also schedule follow-up appointments to ensure long-term success.
And here’s the best part: everything is done in-house. From diagnostics and surgery to restoration and follow-up, there’s no need to travel between multiple providers or offices.
