Dental implants in Decatur:
Call 256-274-8680 today to see if implants can restore your smile. We’re located at 2012 Danville Park Dr. SW in Decatur. Be sure to ask our staff about our Dental Savings Plan, which will save you money on your dental implants treatment.
Well, the reason that implants are the best option for replacing teeth is they are more like your original teeth. When you put an implant in the bone and then you build it up and have a crown on top of it or a bridge on top of it, it’s more like your original teeth with roots in the bone. Also, when you have implants in the bone, you keep the bone. If you don’t have the bone going away, then you have something to work with.
Using some of the latest dental technology like digital X-rays, Dr. Charles Betts can help determine if teeth implants are right for you. If they are, he’ll refer you to an oral surgeon who will embed the implants in your jaw, coordinating your entire treatment with the specialist. After a brief healing process in which the implants fuse with your bone, Dr. Betts will restore the implants with a tooth replacement of your choice.
In addition to their natural feel and function, one of the biggest benefits of dental implants is their versatility. Whether you’re missing a single tooth or an entire mouthful, implants can support your replacement teeth. You can use them with:
In addition to being versatile, teeth implants will also help protect the integrity of your jawbone, something that traditional bridges and dentures can’t do. Because implants serve as replacement teeth roots, they will actually stimulate your jaw to keep it healthy and strong.
A healthy jaw means less likelihood of bone deterioration that could potentially cause a sunken appearance to your face. You’ll look younger for longer!

We have used Dr Betts for many years. Great hygenists and staff. Overall a very professional practice.
Wonderful experience wouldn’t think of going anywhere else. Have been using them since Dr. Betts joined Dr. Whitmire years ago. My youngest son had problem on a Saturday and Dr.Betts met us at the office. Called that night to check on him. I have never forgot that and it’s been at least 30 yrs ago. I recommend them all the time.

Amazingly professional staff, which made for a relaxing and inviting atmosphere. Staff are well trained, not only in respect to dentistry but interpersonally as well. Thank you ladies and gents for the exceptional care and attention I was provided. I’d recommend Dr. Betts’ office without hesitation.

Dental implants are small posts made from titanium that an oral surgeon inserts into your jawbone to serve as replacement teeth roots. If you are missing one or more teeth, implants function as a base for several types of new replacement teeth, including crowns, bridges, dentures, and full arches of fixed teeth.
Dental implants could be removed from your jaw, but there is seldom any reason to do so. Once placed, implants fuse with your jawbone and become one with it. They are designed to last for decades, and maybe even the rest of your life, without requiring any special care or maintenance.
The cost of dental implants varies, depending mainly on how many implants you receive. In some cases, you may also need another procedure, like a tooth extraction or bone grafts, to prepare for implants. We’ll discuss cost with you during the planning stage of your implants procedure so you know exactly what to expect. Financing options can make your care manageable.
Most of our dental implant patients report little discomfort when they receive their dental implants. The oral surgeon will make sure your mouth is completely numb in the area where they’re working, and afterward, most discomfort can be eliminated with over-the-counter pain relievers. All in all, you should have a relatively pain-free dental implant experience.
Your dental implant procedure may be covered in part by your insurance. You would have to check with your individual carrier to see what portion they will take care of. We’ll work with your insurance to help you maximize your benefits. We’ll also make sure you know how much your part of your treatment will be before we begin.
