Dental Implants
Living with a missing tooth or teeth can be embarrassing and painful. Not only that, but traditional solutions have substantial drawbacks.
Implants are a better option than traditional dentures or bridges because they replace the roots of missing teeth and last for decades.

Dental Implants Are the Best Choice for Replacing Natural Teeth
Unparalleled Durability
Dental implants are built to last a lifetime, and, with proper dental care, they can. Although the crowns, bridges, or dentures attached to the abutments will eventually need to be replaced, dental implants themselves have shown impressive long-term success rates and may never need to be replaced.
Jawbone Support
Other restorative treatments, such as traditional crowns, bridges, or dentures, do not prevent the jawbone recession that results from tooth loss. Dental implants act like tooth roots and send regenerative signals to your bone tissue each time you chew, keeping it strong and healthy.
Improved Confidence
If you previously covered your mouth out of embarrassment over a missing tooth or damaged missing teeth, implants can truly change your life. Replacing missing natural teeth can restore balance to your smile, rejuvenate your facial features, and help you feel more confident in your social and professional relationships.

5-Star Reviews
My husband got two implants and a plate from Dr. Fincher. He was so kind and considerate and his work is impeccable! It was not nearly as big a deal as we had been told by other people that had the same procedure by another dentist. My husband had very little pain and can eat anything he want now. His teeth look great and he said they feel great! It was a life changer for him. I would highly recommend Dr. Fincher!

View On FacebookWhat Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are biocompatible, titanium screws that are placed into your jawbone during oral surgery. They serve as artificial tooth roots and support custom crowns, bridges, or dentures while also providing regenerative signals to the jaw. Dr. Fincher offers numerous implant options to restore anything from a single tooth to full arches. With proper care, good oral hygiene, and frequent visits to the dentist, most patients can enjoy the benefits of dental implants for a lifetime.

Are You a Good Candidate?
Most patients can qualify for dental implants as long as they meet certain criteria.
Sufficient Jawbone Density
After tooth loss, the jawbone naturally begins to recede around the location of the missing tooth. Although bone loss previously prevented many patients from getting dental implants, Dr. Fincher offers bone grafting and sinus lifts to restore your candidacy. These two treatments are designed to add volume and density to areas where bone loss has occurred, giving implants a stable, secure foundation. For patients who want to forego bone augmentation but need to replace a full arch of missing teeth, we also offer All-on-4 treatment.
Healthy Lifestyle
You must be healthy enough to undergo surgery. Be sure to discuss your entire health history with Dr. Fincher. Smokers should be aware that smoking has been linked to an increased risk of surgical complications and implant failure. Therefore, you should maintain a healthy lifestyle and refrain from tobacco use if you are considering implants.
Good Oral Health
Before undergoing any dental surgery, you should be in good oral health. Dr. Fincher can treat gum disease and cavities to give your smile a healthy start before surgery.
But I'm Afraid of Dental Surgery...
If you need dental implants but you're afraid of undergoing dental surgery, Dr. Fincher is the right dentist for you. Together with a nurse anesthesiologist, Dr. Fincher offers a unique sedation option using Propofol, a particularly effective type of sedation.
Technology Makes Our Treatment Even More Precise & Comfortable
At his offices in Greenwood and Columbus, Dr. Fincher utilizes advanced technology to plan and perform your dental implant procedure. He may incorporate computed tomography (CT) imaging on a GALILEOS® Comfort Plus cone beam scanner to assess the quality of the bone tissue and prepare for surgery. Dr. Fincher also uses the Sirona SICAT surgical guide to precisely place implants in an optimal location. Additionally, Dr. Fincher exclusively uses Nobel Biocare® products and can place and restore All-on-4 implants in a single appointment.
Types of Dental Implants
Because every patient is different, we offer a number of different types of dental implants to help you overcome tooth loss, including:
What to Expect during Treatment
A typical healing period lasts between four to six months.
Long-Term Maintenance
To ensure your implant lasts as long as possible, it is important to:
- Practice good oral hygiene: Make sure you are brushing twice a day and flossing at least once a day.
- Visit a dentist regularly: You should schedule an appointment with Dr. Fincher or another dentist about every six months to ensure your implant is being properly maintained.
- Beware of infection: In rare cases, implants can become infected. If you suspect you have an infection, you should schedule an appointment with Dr. Fincher as soon as possible.
Understanding Risks
Dental implant surgery has a very high success rate, but any surgical procedure involves some degree of risk. Possible complications resulting from dental implant surgery include infection, implant failure (the post fails to fuse with the surrounding bone), or damaged nerves or membranes. To minimize your risk of developing these issues, it is important to choose an experienced and reputable dentist.
