What are dental implants?

A dental implant is a small titanium or zirconia post placed in the jawbone to replace a missing tooth root. After it fuses with the bone, a crown, bridge or denture is attached on top. Implants need enough healthy bone and gum to support them.

Dental implants: specialist or general dentist?

Implants are placed by oral surgeons, periodontists, and general dentists with extra implant training. Specialists are often recommended when bone grafting, sinus lifts, or full-arch cases like All-on-4 are involved. The crown is often made by a general dentist or prosthodontist.

12 of Knoxville's 99 clinics offering dental implants have an oral surgeon on staff. See oral surgeons in Knoxville

Do general dentists in Knoxville do dental implants?

Typical reasons to see an oral surgeon: bone loss that needs grafting, multiple missing teeth, full-arch replacement, or medical conditions affecting healing.
