Full Zirconia Implants A Metal-Free Option

Implants are typically made of titanium but we understand some of our patients have sensitivities to metal or would rather not place this material in their bodies. We're excited to offer full zirconia implants to meet those needs. In addition to being a safe, stable, and biocompatible material, zirconia is also white and offers a seamless aesthetic finish.

Why Dental Implants 
May Be Right for You
Dr. Collier and Several Patients Discuss Implants

Countless people in various stages of their lives have benefited from getting dental implants. These artificial tooth roots can support crowns for singe-tooth replacement, bridges for multiple missing teeth, and a set of dentures for full-arch replacement. During a free consultation at our practice in Cordova, TN, our team will assess your candidacy for implants and develop a custom treatment plan that's right for you.

You Can Afford Life-Changing Treatment With Flexible Financing Options

There are numerous factors that will influence the cost of your treatment, including the number of implants you need and whether your jawbone requires bone grafting prior to surgery. During your consultation with Dr. Collier in Cordova, he will patiently explain the scope of treatment you will require and provide an estimated cost.

Because we believe in making this life-changing solution accessible to Memphis patients who can benefit from it, we work with CareCredit®, one of the largest and most popular medical lenders, as well as Proceed Finance and Cherry Financing.

Dramatic Results Are Possible How Dental Implants Can Change Your Smile

This case is a great example of what we can achieve at our Cordova office serving Memphis. The patient had a multitude of oral health issues that affected his health and appearance. Thanks to a combination of bone grafts, implants, crowns, and veneers, we helped him feel much better about his smile. After his treatment, he felt much more confident and even got promoted at work. We should note that his full treatment is on pause momentarily, so these dramatic before and after results chronicle just part of his oral health journey.

Same-Day Implants

No Need to Wait Months

For qualified patients who want a restored smile without the wait, Southern Dental Implant Center serving Memphis also offers same-day teeth. An immediate dental implant with same-visit teeth can eliminate the months-long osseointegration period required for traditional implants. This is made possible through the use of our very own in-house smile design lab, and our proprietary implant technique Smile XZ!

Free Initial Consultation

During a free initial consultation in Cordova, Dr. Collier will determine the extent of your tooth loss and discuss your dental health goals. He can review all of the risks and benefits of getting dental implants, and even go over possible dental implant alternatives. We want you to make an informed and confident decision about your treatment options.

Implant Placement

During the first oral surgery, dental implants are placed in the jaw. Your doctor will precisely place each post so that it heals properly and provides optimal support to the finished crown, bridge, or denture.

Osseointegration

The first healing period in the dental implant process will take about three to six months. During this time, the jawbone and implant fuse together. The procedure can move forward only when this process is complete.

Placing the Abutment

A second oral surgery is needed to place an abutment on the top of each post. The abutment is what connects the implant to the finished restoration. Your doctor will make an incision in the gum tissue to expose the implant and secure the abutment.

Second Healing Period

The second healing period is much shorter since it only requires the gums to heal. Full recovery only takes a few weeks. Once healing is complete, the abutment remains accessible above the gumline, ready for your dentist to attach your restoration.

Making Your Dental Prosthesis

The crown, bridge, or denture is custom fabricated in our state-of-the-art in house lab. We ensure the appliance matches the appearance and strength of your natural teeth.

Placing the Implant Restoration

The final step of the process is placing the finished crown, bridge, or denture. Dr. Collier can make final adjustments as needed for proper comfort and fit. Once your restoration is ready, your dentist will secure it to the abutment.

Is Getting Implants Painful?

How We Ensure Patient Comfort

No, it's not painful. To keep you comfortable and relaxed during implant placement, we use sedation dentistry.

Our dentist serving Memphis and the Mid-South area is certified to provide IV and oral conscious sedation. You can remain conscious during your procedure but be in a relaxed state that you should not feel any pain.

We Keep Patients Comfortable

What Are Dental Implants Made Of? Implant Materials and Why They Matter

Biocompatible Materials

To ensure osseointegration occurs, implant materials are biocompatible. That simply means the material will not be rejected by your body's living tissue.

Titanium

For many years, titanium has been the go-to material for dental implants. In fact, scientists learned that titanium was biocompatible by accident. During the 1960s, Dr. Per-Ingvar Brånemark (the father of modern dental implantology) learned that titanium can fuse with bone during a microscopy study involving rabbits.

Zirconia

Materials have come a long way in recent decades. In addition to titanium, it's possible to get dental implants made of zirconia. Zirconia dental implants are completely white, which can improve the appearance of your smile. They are also metal-free, which is ideal for people with metal allergies or sensitivities.

The Benefits of Dental Implants

Prevents Bone Loss

Since dental implants are anchored into the jawbone, they give the bone tissue something to support. This prevents bone atrophy around a tooth gap and along the dental arch.

Stability Without Denture Adhesives or Creams

A removable denture can slip out of place while eating or speaking. Dentures held in place with dental implants are stable, which eliminates the need for dental adhesives and creams.

Improved Dental Health and Function

With implants in place, you can bite, chew, and speak normally. You'll be able to enjoy your favorite foods again and speak without struggling to form certain words.

Excellent Aesthetics

Custom implant restorations are designed to closely resemble the look of natural teeth. Our goal is to make the restorations appear so lifelike that no one notices you've undergone dental work.
