Dental Implants at Family & Cosmetic Dentistry of Murfreesboro

Restore your smile with implants

Whether you were born without a tooth, had a tooth knocked out in an accident, or lost a tooth from decay or gum disease, dental implants in Murfreesboro can restore your smile and chewing function. They work like natural tooth roots, providing a strong base for crowns, bridges, or dentures. A titanium post is placed in the jaw and bonds with the bone over time. A dental implant will require surgery typically with sedation. At Family & Cosmetic Dentistry of Murfreesboro we refer the surgical placement of the dental implant to one of several local oral surgeons. A dental implant may take up to one year before a finished tooth is placed on it. Once the oral surgeon has determined that the implant is ready, Dr. Nicholson will then make a 3D intraoral scan and have the actual implant-supported abutment (post) and dental crown fabricated to fit your new tooth. With good care, implants can last a lifetime, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods and smile with confidence. Say goodbye to missing teeth and welcome the stability of implants! Another option is a fixed dental bridge.
