Dental implants offer a highly reliable way to replace missing teeth. Whether you’re missing one tooth or several, they provide a long-lasting solution that looks natural and functions just like your own.
Your Implant Dentist in Franklin, TN
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that supports a replacement tooth, several teeth, or even larger restorations like dentures. Implants help maintain healthy bone levels by stimulating the jaw, which can prevent bone loss and provide long-term stability, function, and natural-looking results. They’re often preferred because they don’t require altering nearby teeth the way some other options do.
Dental implants can also be used to secure dentures, offering improved comfort and confidence. At East Franklin Dentistry, we have extensive experience in implant dentistry and provide a wide range of implant options. Contact us to learn which solution may be the best fit for your needs.

What is the procedure for dental implants?
The dental implant procedure usually begins with placing a small titanium post into the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. After placement, the area needs time to heal so the implant can fuse securely with the bone. Once healed, an abutment is added to connect the implant to a custom-made crown, which completes the restoration and looks and functions like a natural tooth.
