Dental Implants
Missing teeth can effect more than your smile. It impacts how you eat, speak, and feel about yourself. Our board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeons are here to help you restore what’s been lost with dental implants that look, feel, and function like your natural teeth.
Are Dental Implants Right for You?
Most healthy adults are good candidates for dental implants, but a few factors do play a role. Adequate bone density, healthy gums, and good oral hygiene are all important for a successful outcome.
If bone loss is a concern, procedures like bone grafting can help prepare the site before implant placement. During your consultation, your surgeon will take a close look at your overall health and use imaging to determine the best path forward for your specific situation.
Dental Implant Options
Dental implants are a personalized solution, tailored uniquely to your needs. Your surgeon will recommend the option that best fits your needs, your anatomy, and your long-term goals.
- Single Tooth Implant: Replaces one missing tooth with a titanium post and a custom crown that blends naturally with your smile
- Implant-Supported Bridge: A great option when multiple adjacent teeth are missing, without the need to alter surrounding healthy teeth
- Full Arch Restoration: For patients missing most or all of their teeth, full arch implants offer a permanent and stable alternative to dentures
- Same-Day Implants: In select cases, a temporary restoration can be placed the same day as your implant surgery
- Titanium vs. Ceramic Implants: Both are safe and effective. Your surgeon will help you decide which material is the right fit for you
How Much Do Dental Implants Cost?
The cost of dental implants depends on several factors—including the number of implants needed, whether bone grafting is required, and the type of restoration involved. While implants represent a larger upfront investment than other options, they’re designed to last a lifetime with proper care. We’re happy to walk you through the financial side of things and help you understand what to expect before you move forward with treatment.

Hi, my name is Camila and I live in. Oklahoma. Originally I was born in Lima, Peru and I moved here when I was ten years old. Maybe when I was 12, I had a cavity and they had fixed it. Then it later ended up being the tooth that I got removed. First I was having pain on my tooth and I went to a dentist and they were actually going to the procedure to do that root canal. And when they went in there, they made the hole. They said that the nerve was already damaged. Doctor woods is the one that took my with some teeth off, so I gave him a call. Canela was implant for tooth number three. It had been lost, I believe, to fracture. She had the implant placed uneventfully. Had the uncover he uneventfully. And then the crown, you know, had full restoration of it. She was very happy with the outcome of it. If you weren't paying too much attention to my mouth, you wouldn't be able to see that I was missing a tooth. But I could notice it, and I was self-conscious about it. So after I got it done, now I smile more. Decided I would recommend Doctor Woods because he's a great doctor and I trusted him to do my implants.

I'm Bruce and I live in Edmond, Oklahoma. Most people have a sweet tooth. I have sweet teeth. I like my sweets. So I was eating candy in my office and I broke it too, vertically. Had to go to a regular dentist to have it verified as to what was wrong with it. And then afterwards my wife referred me to okay deals came in. Got checked in. Everybody was real nice, professional, but kind of fun at the same time. Doctor Edwards is extremely easy to talk to. You can go to some offices and they tend to talk down to you, and that's not the case at his office. Everybody treats you like family. When Bruce came in, he had an upper premolar tooth that had some decay, and ultimately that tooth had fractured. So he was in quite a bit of pain. So ultimately we were able to remove that tooth and get that implant placed. He did great with the procedure. He was back in three months and at that point he was ready to go get his crown. So he did really well with that. In the AC industry, being in front of a customer is it's mandatory. It's part of it. So my teeth are very important to me. If I didn't point out that it is an implant, you wouldn't have any idea. So I eat what I normally eat. Nothing's changed. I would recommend Doctor Edwards simply because he treats everybody like family and he makes everything very comfortable. It's an easy process from start to finish, and he walks you through everything.
Common Questions About Dental Implants
Every insurance policy is different, and coverage for implants varies widely. Some plans offer partial coverage, especially when the procedure is deemed medically necessary. Our team is glad to help you sort through your benefits and explore financing options, so cost doesn’t stand in the way of you getting the care you need.
Costs vary based on how many implants are needed, whether any preparatory procedures like bone grafting are required, and the type of final restoration. Your surgeon will go over everything during your consultation, so there are no surprises. We also offer financing options to help make treatment more accessible.
The procedure itself is performed under anesthesia or sedation, so most patients are comfortable throughout. Afterward, some soreness, swelling, and minor bruising are normal and typically improve within a few days. Your care team will give you clear instructions for recovery and let you know what to watch for. If anything feels off, we’re always just a phone call away.
