What Are Dental Implants?
When you have teeth missing, you want them replaced. Unlike removable dentures, dental implants provide a fixed, long-lasting solution that you do not have to worry slipping out of place. Dental implants consist of artificial roots and teeth, usually crafted from titanium, surgically placed into the upper or lower jawbone by a dentist or periodontist, a specialist of the gums and supporting bone. With natural-looking teeth attached to the implant, your smile will be as good as new.
You may need to consider an implant to replace one or more missing teeth without affecting any others, restore chewing, speech, or facial tissues, or support a bridge or denture for greater comfort. Dental implants are strong, stable, and durable, but may need re-tightening or replacing due to normal wear.

How Do Dental Implants Work?
Dental implants will take several months and many appointments, but will ultimately result in beautiful, durable teeth and a natural-looking smile. You will have X-rays and impressions taken of the jaw and teeth to determine bone, gum tissue, and spacing available for an implant.
The implant will be surgically placed into your numbed mouth, where it will heal and integrate with the bone for up to six months. Depending on the type of implant, you may need a second surgery to place the post that holds the artificial tooth in place; some implants have the post and anchor attached already.
After several weeks of healing, the artificial teeth are made and fitted to the post. This may take several fittings over a month or two, but after they are securely attached, you will have stable, comfortable teeth.

Dental Exams & Cleanings At Hillcrest Dental

Orthodontic Care At Hillcrest Dental
Our experienced team is passionate about creating healthy smiles in our community. Hillcrest Dental offers orthodontic treatment to help patients achieve optimal oral wellness and enjoy straighter, more comfortable smiles for life. Here are the services we offer our Clarksville and Fort Campbell patients:
Dental Braces
Dental braces are the tried and true orthodontic treatment for patients of all ages, including those living with severe orthodontic cases. Braces are fixed, wire-based appliances that use brackets, bands, and an archwire to guide your teeth into the correct position.
Invisalign
Invisalign is a clear aligner treatment system and an alternative to traditional dental braces. The aligners are custom-made to meet your unique needs and apply the gentle yet consistent force needed to straighten your teeth with each aligner you wear.
How I Make My Child Feel Comfortable At The Dentist?
Always Be Positive
Be positive when talking about the dentist. Avoid words like “needle,” “drill,” or “shot.” Let your child know that you will be there for them during their appointment and the dentist is nothing to be scared of.
Teach Your Child About The Dentist
Teach your child about the dentist before you take them for their first visit. Let your child know that the dentist takes care of their teeth and helps them enjoy a happy smile. If your child understands why it is so important to have healthy teeth, they may feel more comfortable about visiting the dentist.
Start Good Habits Early
Start practicing brushing teeth together as soon as your child’s first tooth comes in. When it is time to visit the dentist, role-play together to make your child feel comfortable. Sit your child in a chair and brush their teeth, explaining that this is exactly what the dentist will do during their appointment.
Let Us Know How We Can Help
If your child is nervous, let us know ahead of time. We will do everything we can to help your child relax, put their mind at ease, and make their experience as fun and rewarding as possible!
How Long Do Implants Last?

Frequently Asked Questions
Do dental implants hurt?
You will require a minor surgical procedure to place the implants in your jaw. Following your procedure, it’s normal to experience some pain and swelling while your mouth heals. Our team will provide you with detailed postoperative instructions and prescribed pain relievers (as needed) to help you manage any discomfort you may experience.
How much do tooth implants cost?
The full cost of your tooth implants will depend on your unique condition. Factors such as your overall oral health, the extent of restoration needed, and your treatment goals will impact the total fees charged for your implant procedure. However, we offer our services at competitive prices, and many insurance plans cover a portion of your dental implant costs.
What happens if I don’t get a dental implant?
Failing to replace your missing tooth can lead to jawbone tissue loss, which can impact the natural look of your face. It can also cause the surrounding teeth to become damaged or move out of alignment. As time passes, you will increase your risk of the teeth shifting so much that there is no longer room to place the implant. It is important to maintain optimal oral health and support your jawbone by replacing your missing teeth as soon as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have questions about your upcoming visit? Hillcrest Dental can help! Our friendly team is always happy to discuss your questions, needs, and concerns.
Do dentures hurt?
It takes a few weeks for your mouth to adjust to your dentures. Your gums will feel tender and it will take some time to get used to eating. If you need your remaining teeth pulled prior to receiving dentures, this procedure will require a period of healing as well. Our team will provide you with detailed instructions on how to reduce your discomfort while you heal. Should you experience any issues with your dentures, be sure to call our office right away for a follow-up.
How much do dentures cost?
While a considerable investment in your oral health, dentures are typically more affordable than dental implants. The total cost of your dentures will depend on your case and the type of dentures you choose, such as full or partial. Dental insurance will usually cover the cost of your dentures in part or full, depending on your plan. Our team will discuss all treatment costs and payment options during your denture consultation.
Can I eat normal foods with dentures?
Yes, you can. Once you are fully adjusted to wearing your new dentures, you will be able to eat almost anything. You can use denture adhesive pastes or strips for a more secure fit when eating, so that you never have to worry about your denture slipping. Be sure to avoid especially hard, chewy, or sticky foods, as they may damage your dentures.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do root canals hurt?
Today, getting a root canal is just as comfortable as getting a filling. Once your permanent crown is set, you may experience a little abnormal jolt when you bite until your mouth completely heals. As with most dental procedures, you may have some minor tenderness afterward, but it will pass in 1-2 days.
Rest assured knowing that we will do everything we can to make sure that you are comfortable during your root canal treatment. Our doctor will administer local anesthesia to numb the treatment area and reduce any discomfort you may experience.

How much do root canals cost?
The cost of your root canal procedure will depend on your unique case, such as the location in your mouth and the tooth that requires treatment. Our team will discuss all treatment costs and payment options during your visit.
How long is a root canal procedure?
The length of your procedure will depend on your unique case, such as the position of your tooth and the condition of the tooth receiving treatment. Our dentist will explain what to expect during your root canal before your procedure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do tooth extractions hurt?
No, extractions are not typically painful. Extractions are simple, straightforward procedures that our experienced doctors regularly perform at our state-of-the-art Clarksville dental office. While you may experience some pressure during your extraction, your dentist will make sure you are relaxed and comfortable.
How much do extractions cost?
The full cost of your extraction will depend on your unique circumstances and treatment needs. Our team will discuss all costs during your initial consultation and answer any questions you may have about insurance coverage and payment options.
How long do extractions take?
Simple extractions are relatively quick outpatient procedures that we perform in our office. If you need a surgical extraction, it may take more time to complete. No matter your case, our doctor will explain your procedure in full detail, so you know exactly what to expect.
