What Are Dental Implants?
Single Tooth Implants
Dr. Bacon replaces individual missing teeth with precision-placed implants that don't affect your healthy surrounding teeth. Using his advanced 3D planning and gentle surgical technique, he creates a seamless replacement that even you'll forget isn't natural.
Multiple Dental Implants
Need several teeth replaced? Dr. Bacon's expertise allows him to strategically place multiple implants in one comfortable appointment, often replacing an entire arch with just a few strategically positioned implants. His comprehensive approach means fewer surgeries and faster results.
Teeth-In-A-Day
Dr. Bacon's advanced training and in-house technology mean qualified patients can receive implants and temporary teeth in a single visit. You'll never have to go without teeth—walk in with missing or failing teeth, leave the same day with a confident new smile. This procedure is also often referred to as an All-On-4 or All-On-X procedure.
Could Implants Be Right for You?
Most people who are missing teeth make great candidates for implants, and Dr. Bacon's thorough evaluation ensures you get the treatment that's best for your specific situation. His honest assessment means you'll know exactly what to expect and whether implants are your ideal solution:
- Adults in good general health who can heal properly
- Sufficient bone density (or willingness to build it up first)
- Commitment to good oral hygiene and regular checkups
- Desire for a permanent solution that feels completely natural

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I take care of my new crown?
Treat it exactly like your natural teeth—brush, floss, and come in for regular checkups. Your crown can't get cavities, but the tooth underneath still needs protection.
What makes Dr. Bacon different from other implant dentists?
Dr. Bacon handles your entire treatment from start to finish—no referrals to other specialists. His military training, advanced sedation certification, and comprehensive approach mean you get expert surgical care with genuine personal attention throughout your entire journey.
Am I too old for implants?
Age isn't the issue—overall health and bone density are what matter. Dr. Bacon has successfully placed implants in patients well into their 80s and 90s who were in good health.
How do I take care of implants?
Just like your natural teeth—brush, floss, and come in for regular checkups. That's it. No special cleaning solutions or complicated maintenance routines required.
Will people be able to tell I have implants?
Not a chance. Dr. Bacon custom-crafts each crown to match your natural teeth perfectly in color, shape, and size. Even your dentist friends won't be able to spot which tooth is the implant.
How long before I'm back to normal?
Most people return to work the next day, though you'll want to stick to softer foods for a few days. Complete healing and bone integration takes 3-6 months, but you'll have temporary teeth so you're never without a smile.
What will this cost me?
Every case is different, so Dr. Bacon will give you exact pricing after your consultation. We work with most major insurance plans and offer flexible financing through CareCredit, Cherry, and other options to make implants affordable.
Are implants really safe?
Dental implants have over a 95% success rate and are considered the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. Dr. Bacon's surgical training and precision make your procedure even safer and more predictable.
Can I get an implant right after you pull my tooth?
Often, yes! Dr. Bacon can frequently place your implant immediately after extraction, which actually speeds up your overall treatment time and reduces the number of appointments you need.
Will getting implants hurt?
Dr. Bacon's sedation expertise means you can be as comfortable as you want during the procedure—from light relaxation to sleeping through the whole thing. Most patients are surprised at how little discomfort they experience during and after treatment.
How long will my implants actually last?
With proper care, your implants can literally last the rest of your life—the titanium post fuses permanently with your bone. The crown on top might need replacement after 10-15 years due to normal wear, but the implant itself is built to last decades.
