Dr. Ayers and his staff were wonderful and so gentle, especially since I am a huge chicken. I would certainly recommend them for anyone considering implants.

Dental Examination
The best way to prevent gum disease is effective daily brushing and flossing as well as regular professional examinations and cleanings. Unfortunately, even with the most diligent home dental care, people still can develop some form of periodontal disease. Once this disease starts, professional intervention is necessary to prevent its progress.

Teeth Cleaning

Crowns
Finally, a replacement tooth called a crown will be created for you by your dentist and attached to the abutment. After a short time, you will experience restored confidence in your smile and your ability to chew and speak.
Bridges
A dental implant provides several advantages over other tooth replacement options. In addition to looking and functioning like a natural tooth, a dental implant replaces a single tooth without sacrificing the health of neighboring teeth. The other common treatment for the loss of a single tooth, a tooth-supported fixed bridge, requires that adjacent teeth be ground down to support the cemented bridge.

Dentures
Deformities in the upper or lower jaw can leave you with inadequate bone in which to place dental implants. The defect may have been caused by periodontal disease, wearing dentures, developmental defects, injury or trauma. Not only does this deformity cause problems in placing the implant, it can also cause an unattractive indentation in the jaw line near the missing teeth that may be difficult to clean and maintain.

Dental Implants
Dr. Mears is a member of the American Dental Association, the American Academy of Periodontology, and the Southern Academy of Periodontology, and a Member of the American Academy of Facial Esthetics. His clinical interests include periodontal regeneration techniques, hard and soft tissue augmentation procedures, and the utilization of digital workflow for optimal dental implant placement. Dr. Mears offers IV sedation for patients that may be anxious about undergoing dental procedures.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
These problems, associated with tobacco use of any kind, are caused by the many chemicals, such as nicotine and tar, in tobacco. These chemicals have harmful effects on the periodontal tissues. They cause an increase in the accumulation of plaque and calculus (or tartar) that can irritate your gums and lead to infection. Following periodontal treatment or any type of oral surgery, the chemicals in tobacco can also slow down the healing process and make the treatment results less predictable.
