Dental Implants in Murfreesboro, TN

What Is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant is a small, titanium post that is surgically placed in your jawbone, replacing the root of a missing tooth. Once healed, it supports a custom crown, bridge, or denture, creating a permanent and fully functional replacement that looks and feels like your natural tooth.

Unlike other tooth replacement options, dental implants:

• Preserve and stimulate jawbone health
• Do not affect neighboring teeth (no grinding required)
• Offer superior stability for chewing and speaking
• Are built to last for decades with proper care

They’re the closest replacement to natural teeth in modern dentistry.

Who Needs a Dental Implant?

You may be a good candidate for a dental implant if you:

• Are missing one or more teeth
• Have healthy gums and sufficient bone
• Don’t want a removable denture or partial
• Want to avoid altering surrounding teeth with a bridge
• Are looking for a long-term solution instead of short-term fixes

Even if you've been told in the past that you’re not a candidate due to bone loss, we may be able to help with bone and sinus grafting. We’ll evaluate your case during your consultation and walk through every option with you.

Our Dental Implant Process

At Starbody Dental, we provide start-to-finish implant care in one location — so you won’t be bounced around to multiple offices. Here’s what you can expect:

Step 1: Consultation & Imaging

We use 3D digital X-rays and intraoral scans to assess your bone, bite, and overall oral health. This helps us determine the best implant type, size, and placement.

Step 2: Implant Placement

Your implant is placed precisely into the jawbone. The procedure is comfortable, done under local anesthesia (with optional sedation), and takes less than an hour in most cases.

Step 3: Healing & Osseointegration

Over the next few months, the implant naturally fuses with your jawbone — forming a stable foundation. Temporary solutions are available during this phase if needed.

Step 4: Final Restoration

Once healed, we attach a custom-crafted dental crown to your implant. The result is a strong, natural-looking tooth that blends beautifully with your smile.
