Restore Your Smile With Our Implant Solutions

Losing one or more teeth can impact your entire life, including your ability to eat the foods you love. However, teeth implants can help you regain your confidence by giving you back a fully functional smile. Dr. Shumate is highly skilled in placing implants and can perform the procedure right here in our practice. He uses advanced technology, including 3-D imaging and computer-created guides, for precise dental implant placement.

You’ll find options for all tooth replacement needs:

  • Single Crown Implant – A single crown implant replaces a single missing tooth, restoring both the function and beauty of your smile. You can take care of it like a normal tooth, with regular flossing and brushing.
  • Implant Bridge – An implant bridge replaces multiple adjacent missing teeth. Unlike a traditional bridge, your dentist won’t need to remove structure from any healthy teeth to support a bridge. It also helps stop bone loss in your jaw.
  • Implant Dentures – Your dentist can anchor your dentures to implants to give you a secure and more comfortable alternative to traditional dentures. You avoid issues such as embarrassing slippage, discomfort, and messy denture adhesive. Your teeth stay in place like normal teeth.
  • Mini Dental Implants – As their name implies, mini dental implants are smaller in size than traditional implants. They are often used to stabilize dentures or to replace teeth for patients who don’t have enough bone mass for full-sized implants.
  • Full Mouth Reconstruction – For patients with widespread tooth loss or damage, a reconstruction will combine a variety of surgical and restorative procedures, including dental implants.

You will also benefit from advanced techniques at our practice. For example, Dr. Shumate uses Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF). This cutting-edge approach uses your body’s natural healing capabilities to speed the healing process of the surgical area.

In addition, you can opt for sedation if you struggle with anxiety. Laughing gas can take the edge off your nerves and help you relax during treatment. Or you can choose ultra-relaxing IV sedation, if you have severe anxiety. We also have weighted blankets to help you feel more comfortable and relaxed.
