We’ll Replace Your Missing Teeth

If you have one or more missing teeth, we can help get you smiling and chewing normally with our dental implant procedures.

Dental implants are small, cylinder-shaped devices that are inserted in the place of one or more missing teeth, then restored with a crown, bridge or implant-stabilized denture.

Losing teeth to disease or trauma continues to affect your oral health over time. If missing teeth are not replaced, surrounding teeth will shift and move into the open spaces, which not only affects the appearance of your smile, but also your bite. Teeth that are out of position don’t come together properly when you chew and can lead to tooth fracture or further tooth loss.

Dental Implant Options

Dental Implants in Tuscaloosa

Single Tooth Implant

Dental Implants are often the preferred approach to replace a single missing tooth rather than a traditional dental bridge, which involves drilling of surrounding teeth that may not need treatment otherwise. A single tooth implant can be restored with a porcelain crown to create a natural-looking result without disturbing adjacent teeth.

Multiple Teeth Implants

In the case of multiple missing teeth when a bridge is necessary, one or more dental implants can create support where none exists, such as in missing back teeth or multiple front teeth. Implants extend the coverage area of the bridge which provides greater biting and chewing function.

Implant Dentures

If you’re struggling with loose dentures, dental implants can be used as anchors to secure a complete or partial denture. Implant-supported dentures can eliminate slipping so you can eat, talk and laugh again with confidence.

If you are struggling with missing teeth or have loose dentures, we can help. Give our Tuscaloosa dentist office a call at  (205) 462-3745 or email us at Info@SmilesByWhitaker.com. We look forward to working with you to get you smiling and chewing normally again

    Whitaker Family & Cosmetic Dentistry is the best experience I have had at the dentist. Leigh was my hygienist and did an exceptional job! I love how they all personally get to know you and communicate with you. It is a warm atmosphere and an excellent up-and-coming dentist in Dr. Whitaker!
