Dental Implants
Restoring the beauty and function to your smile for a life-changing experience.
Why Would You Need Dental Implants?
The strongest, longest-lasting, and most natural tooth restoration solution.
Dental implants are a critical part of building and restoring the mouth to ideal health and function. Are you considering dental implants for the following reasons?
- You are missing teeth due to a previous injury or severe decay.
- Your dentures are not fitting well anymore, keeping you from eating and speaking with confidence.
- Aging dental treatments are failing, causing gaps in your teeth, tooth decay, or gum problems.
- You have pain on one side of your mouth when chewing, which is wearing down your teeth.
Dr. Hinkle understands the pain and self-consciousness of a less than perfect smile from personal experience. It's the reason he became a cosmetic dentist in Tulsa with a passion for helping others achieve their smile potentials.
With modern techniques, dental implants can restore your smile's beauty and function.
"Dr. Hinkle and his staff are so caring to patients. They will do their best to make you feel comfortable and reduce any discomfort you might have. I recommend their services to anyone who might be nervous seeing the dentist!"
- Chandra G., Actual Patient
Why are Dental Implants so Popular?
About 120 million people in the U.S. are missing at least one tooth.
Dental implants are a reliable, efficient solution.
Restored Function
Dental implants act just like regular tooth roots, providing stability for biting and chewing as well as stimulation to prevent jaw bone deterioration.
Long-Lasting
With up to 98% success rates, dental implants can last a lifetime with proper care and maintenance.
Denture Stabilization
Implants can be used to hold dentures in place without the use of adhesives. No more sliding or painful sores from a bad fit!
Cost Effective
Many dental insurance companies will cover a portion of the implant procedure and following a crown procedure, making it a wise, long-term investment.
Renewed Confidence
Constant compliments on your smile contribute to a blossoming personality, personal success, and professional accomplishments.
How Dr. Hinkle Addresses Your Concerns about Dental Implants
Don't let anything keep you from a healthy, youthful-looking smile!
One of Dr. Hinkle's greatest thrills in dentistry is watching how a beautiful new smile can light up a patient when he or she first sees it. Hearing how many times his patients have looked into the mirror just to see how great their mouths look keeps him inspired. He's always looking for new ways to overcome common concerns.
Our implant system is designed for the patient who may have postponed the replacement of a lost tooth and had some bone loss or significant bone loss or shrinkage. Our system takes that into account and provides a stable foundation for your upcoming crown.
Dr. Hinkle offers the option of "laser therapy" to not only prolong the life expectancy of your implants but also to accelerate healing and reduce post-operative discomfort.
Each implant will require either a crown or a bridge cemented on to allow for biting and chewing comfortably. Our crowns and bridges are unbelievably beautiful and are designed to enhance your natural smile.
We can restore the entire mouth with matching porcelain veneers (Lumineers) that are a perfect match to your new implants. By providing "ONE-STOP SERVICE IN ONE LOCATION WITH ONLY ONE BILL," you can control your expenses and stop running all over town to see multiple dentists referring you on and on and on. That is NOT our way of doing comprehensive care.

*Offer valid on implants placed until December 31, 2018.

Have Questions About Dental Implants?
Your restorative dentist in Tulsa has the answers you should know.
Cost is only one factor that needs to be considered when investigating your options for missing teeth. Dental implants are a useful long-term option for restoring the proper function to mouths when teeth are missing, and function is compromised.
Utica Dental offers long-term financing options to help with the budgetary concerns. Dental treatment can be bundled into groups to minimize the amount of time you need to take off of your work schedule. A treatment plan can be generated by Dr. Hinkle to meet your schedule and budget until you have a full set of functioning beautiful teeth again.
Although it may seem like an extensive procedure, dental implant placement is similar to tooth extraction. If you are anxious, we can prescribe a relaxant that takes the edge off of receiving dental care. Just sharing your dental concerns and fears will heighten our concentrated efforts to keep you comfortable.
Placing dental implants in our office is only about an hour long appointment. There is usually a prescription for pain medication given, but often, it is not required. Dr. Hinkle always calls the evening afterward to make sure you are comfortable and ready for a good night rest. Remember that Dr. Hinkle has vast experience in achieving a profound level of anesthesia and keeping that numbness long enough for you to get home, eat, and get some rest.
Implants and all dental procedures do have the remote chance of complications. Sometimes your healing is compromised by medications you are required to take for other conditions. Smoking is very detrimental to bone healing and especially in the mouth of a smoker, can we see more complications. Please consult your physician to see that your bleeding is normal and there are no contra-indications to our proposed implants.
We highly recommend Waterpik home therapy to keep all your teeth and gums in tip-top condition and regular hygiene visits to Dr. Hinkle every six months.
Mini implants provide an alternative to larger dental implants when a smaller implant is needed to fit into a narrow location. Dr. Hinkle may use smaller, longer implants to reach healthier and thicker bone to support a denture prosthetic.
Dr. Hinkle offers denture stabilization with mini implants of a smaller diameter. Implant-supported dentures are incredibly comfortable and allow the denture patient to eat with confidence knowing that their teeth are "locked into place."
Chewing should be a balanced function and needs to be comfortable and equally effective on both sides of the mouth. Sometimes implants are the only way to establish this balanced function.
