The best way to replace missing or severely damaged teeth

Missing teeth present a serious problem to your oral and whole body health. When a tooth is missing or severely damaged, the rest of your mouth is unable to function normally, creating a range of additional oral health concerns.

Enter dental implants — the best way to replace missing or critically damaged teeth. By replacing the root of your tooth, dental implants completely mimic your natural tooth. This brings support and stability to your mouth and ensures a healthy smile and body.

Benefits to Dental Implant Treatment

  • Durable & long-lasting tooth replacement
  • Replaces entire tooth including the root, preventing bone loss and stabilizing your mouth and jaw structure
  • Custom made to your mouth and smile
  • Allows you to eat the foods you love and live life like you always have

    Dental Implant Treatment at Pickens Family Dentistry

    At Pickens Family Dentistry, we believe in treating the root of any oral health issues you are experiencing. With dental implants, we’ll be treating not just the visual part of your missing tooth, but ensuring that the foundation of your tooth and overall oral health is on solid ground before replacing the visible part of your tooth.

    When you come to our office, we’ll complete a comprehensive examination with our high-tech diagnostic tools to ensure an accurate diagnosis. From there, we’ll lay out our treatment recommendations and answer any questions you have about dental implants. 

    We want you to feel completely in control of your oral health and will do all we can to make sure you feel completely comfortable before moving forward with treatment.


    Our Dental Implant Process

    1. Complete an exam to ensure that dental implants are the best treatment option for your unique oral health circumstances

    2. Your tooth is replaced with a modern, high-tech dental implant to replace your tooth’s root

    3. Once set and healed, your implant will be capped with a dental crown matched to your exact tooth shade or a permanent denture

Dr. Pickens and the staff are exceptional, and they’ll never, ever push work on you and will always make sure you’re comfortable and understand why any work needs to be done. HIGHLY recommended!”

    Dental Implants FAQs

    Why should I choose dental implants over a fixed bridge or dentures?

    While bridges and dentures are a great choice for some patients and do a fantastic job of replacing the visible part of your teeth, they do not replace the root of your tooth. Implants replace the root, ensuring that no bone loss occurs or stability issues develop with surrounding teeth.

    How will my life be affected by dental implants?

    Once your dental implant has been set and has healed, you can go on living your life like you always have. The only care that is needed is maintaining positive oral health best practices such as brushing and flossing regularly, and coming to twice-yearly dental exams and cleanings.
