Dr. Carlin Restores Smiles Affordably Get in Touch About Dental Implant Cost and Financing

The average cost for dental implant cases at our practice is $2,000 to $4,500. During your initial consultation, Dr. Carlin will develop a custom treatment plan to address your unique oral health needs. Once you have a treatment plan, we will be able to provide a more accurate quote so you can plan and budget for your dental implant treatment. 

Dental implants and abutments are not typically covered by insurance, but the restorations they support are. Our prices are in line with those of other dentists in the area, but we offer quality products, advanced technology, and personalized care that other providers may not. For example, we often recommend Hiossen® or Nobel Biocare® implants because of their durability and lasting results. We also accept financing to make implants an option for any budget.

How Do Implants Work?

Dental implants are an excellent solution to missing teeth. The small titanium posts are embedded in the jaw and offer unrivaled support for crowns, bridges, and dentures. They are topped by abutments, which connect the titanium post to the final restoration. In addition to replacing missing teeth, dental implants can protect the shape and structure of your jaws while preventing bone atrophy. Dr. Bryan Carlin can place and restore dental implants in Hendersonville, ensuring top-quality care from start to finish.    

Types of Tooth Loss Dental Implants Can Address

Dental implants can treat the loss of one or more teeth. Tooth loss can result from a variety of reasons, including trauma, tooth decay, gum disease, abscess, or other dental problems. We welcome candidates for dental implants in Hendersonville who have experienced the loss of:

A Single Tooth

A single missing tooth can be replaced using the combination of one dental implant post and a dental crown.

a dental bridge supported by implants

Multiple Consecutive Teeth

Many patients are forgoing traditional bridges in favor of implant-retained bridges, which provide superior support and stability.

an implant denture for a full arch

An Entire Arch of Teeth

Implant-retained dentures attach directly to the jaw through the use of implant posts, restoring function for the upper or lower arch.

Candidacy Requirements
for Dental Implants

Most patients who seek the life-changing benefits of dental implants are candidates for the restorative treatment. As with any oral surgery, patients should be in good oral and overall health and free from any conditions, such as periodontal disease, that could complicate surgery or recovery. During your consultation at our dental office, our dentist will use computed tomography (CT) scans, digital x-rays, and other tools to determine if you are a candidate for dental implants. 

If you have sustained bone recession as a result of tooth loss, you may need a preliminary bone graft to strengthen your jaw. Dr. Carlin also offers mini dental implants in Hendersonville for patients without sufficient jawbone tissue. If you are seeking an implant-supported solution to restore an entire arch, Dr. Carlin offers All-on-4 dental implants for dentures. Once your All-on-4 implants are placed, you can receive a temporary restoration that same day, so you never have to be without teeth.

You Are Never Too Old to Restore Your Dental Function

Age will not affect your eligibility for restorative dentistry procedures. Age is a risk factor for low jawbone density, but we encourage that patients of any age visit us to explore candidacy options for dental implants in Hendersonville—and other types of treatment. You are never too old to retain natural oral function following the loss of one or more natural teeth.

A Typical Treatment Timeline

Often, Dr. Carlin can place and restore implants himself. However, in more complex cases, he may work with a trusted oral surgeon and coordinate your treatment.

Dental implants are considered the gold standard for tooth replacement. Our office in Hendersonville, TN, provides a range of implant-supported restoration options to help you achieve a healthy, functional, and beautiful smile.

Consultation

During your consultation at our dentistry office, serving patients from Hendersonville, TN, and surrounding areas, Dr. Carlin can assess your oral health and evaluate your medical history before scheduling your surgery.

Sedation

On the day of your surgery, local anesthesia and sedation will be administered to ensure that you are comfortable.

Surgery

Your implant dentist, Dr. Carlin, or a trusted oral surgeon will begin the procedure by making a small incision in your gums. Your dental implant will then be inserted, and the incision will be closed using sutures.

Initial Recovery

A temporary restoration may be provided. You should plan to have a ride arranged to return home and rest.

Full Recovery

Full recovery from dental implant placement can take three to six months. During your recovery, the implant will fuse with your jaw tissue through a natural process called osseointegration.

Restoration

After you have recovered, you can return to our Hendersonville office to receive your permanent crown, bridge, or denture.

Will My Dental Implant Surgery Hurt?

There may be some mild level of discomfort experienced as part of the dental implant placement process, especially in the first day or two following surgery. Special care will be taken to ensure that you are adequately numbed to begin and we also offer nitrous oxide, oral medication, and intravenous (IV) sedation. By carefully following Dr. Carlin’s recovery guidelines, you can minimize discomfort following surgery.   

To help make your treatment as comfortable and safe as possible, Dr. Carlin works with an anesthesiology service called Nashville Office-Based Anesthesia, or NOBA. 

Dr. Carlin also performs implant placement with the aid of an incredibly precise surgical guide. We design these guides using detailed CT scans to ensure your safety and an even more predictable outcome.

Tips for a Healthy Recovery from Implant Surgery

Swelling, soreness, and small amounts of bleeding are to be expected during the first day after dental implant placement. Patients should rest while avoiding any activity that could disturb the surgical site. Most patients are able to manage discomfort or mild pain using over-the-counter medications. Dr. Carlin will provide recovery guidelines that should be followed closely.

Life After Dental Implants

/

Dental implants are a long-term solution to tooth loss that are quickly becoming the standard—not the exception—in restorative dentistry. Our patients report that implant-retained dentures, bridges, and crowns feel and function like natural teeth. Patients who maintain good oral hygiene habits while avoiding tobacco use can enjoy their dental implants for a lifetime.
