What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are small titanium posts surgically placed in the jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots. Once the implant fuses with the jawbone, it provides a stable, permanent foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture.

The Implant Post

A small titanium post is surgically placed in the jawbone that serves as an artificial tooth root, providing a stable and permanent foundation.

The Abutment

A connector piece that attaches to the implant post and serves as the link between the post and your final restoration.

The Custom Restoration

A crown, bridge, or full-arch prosthesis custom-crafted to match your natural teeth in color, shape, and size.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

Dental implants in Bells, Jackson, Milan, and Lexington, TN, are widely considered the gold standard in tooth replacement, and at Premier Dental Center, our team understands why. When you lose a tooth, you don’t just lose what’s visible above the gum line. You lose the root, and without that root, the jawbone begins to deteriorate over time. Implants are the only tooth replacement option that addresses both problems at once, restoring your smile while actively protecting the health of your jaw for years to come. Here’s what sets implants apart from everything else:

  • Look, feel, and function just like your natural teeth
  • Restore strong, reliable biting and chewing ability
  • Stand completely on their own — no neighboring teeth are altered or put at risk
  • Built to last a lifetime with proper care
  • Improve your confidence, your speech, and your overall quality of life

Not Every Smile Need Is the Same,
So We Offer Multiple Implant Options

Single Dental
Implants

If you’re missing one tooth, a single dental implant is the closest thing to getting your natural tooth back. A titanium post is placed directly into the jawbone, topped with a custom crown that matches the shape and shade of your surrounding teeth.

Unlike a traditional bridge, a single implant doesn’t require altering the healthy teeth on either side; it stands entirely on its own. The result is a restoration that looks, feels, and functions like the real thing.

Implant-Supported Dental Bridges

An implant-supported bridge is an excellent solution for patients missing two or more adjacent teeth. Instead of relying on natural teeth for support, the bridge is anchored to implants on either end, giving you a stable, fixed restoration without the need for a removable partial denture. This approach also protects the jawbone beneath the missing teeth, unlike a traditional bridge. It’s a strong, natural-looking option that restores your bite and your smile at the same time.

Implant-Supported Dentures

If you’ve been living with traditional dentures that slip, click, or limit what you can eat, implant-supported dentures can be a game-changer.

By anchoring your denture to a series of strategically placed implants, we eliminate the instability that makes conventional dentures so frustrating. You’ll be able to eat the foods you love, speak clearly, and smile with total confidence — no adhesives, no slipping, no second-guessing. It’s the comfort and security of implants combined with the full-arch coverage of a denture.

Full-Arch Dental Implants

For patients who have lost most or all of their teeth, full-arch dental implants offer a permanent, life-changing solution. Using a carefully planned number of implants to support an entire arch of teeth, this treatment eliminates the need for removable dentures altogether. It restores full chewing function and a natural-looking smile.

The implants integrate directly with the jawbone, preserving bone structure and providing a foundation that lasts. If you’re ready to leave dentures behind for good, this may be the most transformative investment you can make in your oral health.

FAQs About Dental Implants

Most patients are pleasantly surprised by how manageable the implant process is. The placement procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during surgery.

Some soreness and swelling in the days following the procedure is normal and typically well-controlled with over-the-counter pain medication. We also offer sedation options, including IV sedation and oral conscious sedation, to keep anxious patients completely comfortable from start to finish.

With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. The titanium post that integrates with your jawbone is designed to be a permanent fixture, while the crown or restoration on top may need to be replaced after 10 to 20 years, depending on wear. Maintaining good oral hygiene and keeping up with your regular dental visits at Premier Dental Center are the best ways to protect your investment in the long term.

Most healthy adults who are missing one or more teeth are potential candidates for dental implants. Good candidates generally have adequate jawbone density, healthy gums, and no uncontrolled systemic conditions.

If you’ve experienced bone loss, you may still qualify after a bone grafting procedure. The best way to find out is to schedule your free consultation. Our team will evaluate your oral health and walk you through all of your options.

The cost of dental implants varies depending on how many teeth are being replaced, whether any preparatory procedures like bone grafting or extractions are needed, and which type of restoration is right for you.

At Premier Dental Center, we offer free consultations so you can get a clear picture of your treatment plan and costs upfront. We also accept most PPO insurance plans and offer flexible financing through CareCredit, Proceed Finance, Cherry, Sunbit, and HFD, because cost should never stand between you and the smile you deserve.

The timeline varies from patient to patient, but the process typically takes several months from start to finish. This accounts for the implant placement surgery, the healing period during which the implant fuses with the jawbone, and the placement of your final restoration.

Some patients require preparatory work, such as extractions or bone grafting, which can add time to the overall timeline. The good news is that we offer same-day temporary restorations, so you’ll have a great-looking smile throughout the entire process.

Dental implants have one of the highest success rates of any tooth replacement option in dentistry, with studies consistently showing long-term success rates of 95% or higher.

Our team is committed to delivering outcomes that are both beautiful and built to last. Factors like good oral hygiene, not smoking, and maintaining regular dental visits all contribute to long-term implant success.

Yes, in many cases. Bone loss is a common concern, especially for patients who have been missing teeth for some time, but it doesn’t automatically disqualify you from implant treatment.

Our team performs bone grafting procedures to rebuild jawbone volume and create a strong foundation for implant placement. During your free consultation, we’ll take the necessary imaging to assess your bone levels and determine whether grafting is needed before moving forward.

Traditional dentures rest on the gums and rely on suction or adhesives to stay in place, which can lead to slipping, discomfort, and difficulty eating certain foods.

Dental implants, on the other hand, are anchored directly into the jawbone, just like natural tooth roots. This means they’re completely stable, they preserve the jawbone, and they function far more like your natural teeth. Many patients who switch from dentures to implants describe it as life-changing.
