Missing teeth can affect more than just your smile – they can impact how you eat, speak, and feel about yourself. At Cox Family Dentistry, we offer dental implants in Sikeston, MO as a long-lasting, natural-looking solution to restore the health, function, and confidence of your smile.
Whether you’re missing a single tooth or need to replace multiple teeth, Dr. Sam Cox will walk you through your options and provide expert care every step of the way.
A dental implant is a small, titanium post that acts as an artificial tooth root. It is surgically placed into your jawbone to support a replacement tooth, such as a crown, bridge, or denture. Because implants fuse with the jawbone over time, they provide unmatched stability and help prevent bone loss.
Dental implants are considered the gold standard in modern tooth replacement for their durability, natural appearance, and ability to function just like real teeth.
At Cox Family Dentistry, we focus on providing personalized, high-quality implant solutions tailored to your needs.
Most healthy adults with missing teeth are good candidates for dental implants. Ideal candidates typically:
Even if you’ve been told you don’t qualify in the past, advances in bone grafting and implant technology may still make you a candidate. Dr. Cox will evaluate your oral health and discuss all available options during your consultation.
We provide implant solutions to meet a variety of needs, including:
No matter how many teeth you’re missing, we’ll create a plan to help you restore your smile with lasting results.
Getting dental implants is a multi-step process, typically completed over several months:
Dr. Cox will assess your teeth, jawbone, and overall health using digital imaging. We’ll develop a custom treatment plan that fits your goals and budget.
The implant post is placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia. Healing typically takes a few months while the implant fuses with the bone – a process called osseointegration.
Once healing is complete, we attach an abutment (connector) and place your final crown, bridge, or denture. The result is a natural-looking, fully functional replacement tooth.
Throughout the process, we’ll guide you every step of the way to ensure a comfortable and successful outcome.
Dental implants are low-maintenance but still require good hygiene to stay healthy:
With proper care, dental implants can last 20+ years – or even a lifetime.
