Dental Implants & Mini Dental Implants
Are you one of the 36 million Americans who wear dentures?
Do they slip, feel loose, or fall out when you eat?
Are you ready for a more reliable solution?
If you want dependable, solid teeth that you can feel confident with when eating, speaking, and meeting new people, ask Dr. Haygood about dental implants. These amazing dental prosthetics anchor into the jaw to secure dentures or to hold individual dental crowns. So whether you’re missing one, many, or all of your teeth, dental implants could change your life.
As a general dentist, Dr. Haygood oversees dental implant cases, working with an oral surgeon or periodontist for the surgical phase, then coordinating with a reputable dental lab for the restoration fabrication. Traditional dental implants require a brief oral surgery for implant post placement. Bone tissue naturally integrates with the biocompatible metal posts to create a solid anchor, much like a natural tooth root. Once the surgical site heals, Dr. Haygood will place your custom-made denture or crowns. In some cases, a patient’s existing denture may be retrofitted with implant attachments.
Adequate bone density is required prior to 
implant placement. If your bone has degenerated, you may require a preliminary bone grafting procedure – or you can opt for Mini Dental Implants. With MDIs, a smaller, screw-like post is placed into the socket left by a missing tooth. Surgery isn’t required, so you won’t need to see an oral surgeon or periodontist. Instead, the MDI post screws into the jaw, directly through gum tissue. Dr. Haygood can complete the procedure in our comfortable and familiar office.
