Dental implants are replacements that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. They are individually crafted from titanium to perfectly match the shape and size of your missing teeth and blend in with your existing teeth.
Dental implants are almost as strong as natural teeth, making them an excellent option for replacing missing teeth.

Accuracy is critical when placing dental implants, and the team at Drakes Creek Dental understands this. That's why Dr. Corey Truman will take the time to offer you honest conversations about your implant treatment, answer all of your questions and ensure that you are fully informed before proceeding with any procedure.
The implant placement process begins with oral surgery, a delicate procedure requiring great care and expertise. The dental implants are inserted into the bone structure during this process to achieve osseointegration. This allows for a secure base for your new teeth and will contribute to the long-term success of your dental implant.
Once osseointegration has been achieved, our Hendersonville dentist will craft prosthetic replacements for your missing teeth with precision and care in a dental laboratory. These custom-made prosthetics are designed to match your adjacent teeth in shape and color so you can smile confidently.
The final step involves attaching these prosthetics to the dental implants so that they function as natural teeth. Ensuring that you maintain maximum comfort throughout the entire experience.
The cost of implants varies from person to person based on their needs and other factors such as insurance coverage and financing options available. Dr. Truman will give you an estimated cost for your treatment plan during your initial consultation visit so that you can make an informed decision about moving forward with your smile restoration journey.
Implant posts are a permanent solution, but dental crowns and abutments may need replacing every ten years because they can wear down over time.
The best way to know if you're a good candidate for a dental implant is to sit down with Dr. Truman, take a few X-rays, and do an exam. However, a dental implant could work for you if you have sufficient bone in your jaw, generally have good overall health, and have healthy gums without periodontal disease.
