FAQs

Dental Implants are Titanium posts that take the place of the root of a tooth. They are fixated to the bone and a porcelain tooth colored crown is fixated to them to give you a new tooth. There are 3 main parts of a dental implant- The post, the abutment, and the crown. Dr. Vick delivers all 3 parts at Forest Hill Dental, and has been placing implants on his patients in the Memphis, Collierville, Germantown region for many years.

Caring for Implants is easy! It is as simple as brushing and flossing your teeth as normal- Brush twice, floss once per day. Dr. Vick recommends biannual cleanings as well to make sure your Implants stay healthy and last decades! Dr. Vick also recommends using a Waterpik® to keep implants clean.

Dental Implants can be placed in a single appointment. There needs to be healthy bone to place this implant, however. In our Germantown/Memphis Dental Implant Office, implants are restored between 1-4 months after they are replaced. SO that means you have a new tooth in no time!
