One Practice for Your Full Smile

From preliminary bone grafting to final crown placement and cosmetic finishing touches, our Fairhope practice handles every phase of your treatment under one roof, saving you time and money.

Dental Implant Options We Offer

Single Tooth Implants

A single tooth implant replaces both the missing root and crown without altering adjacent natural teeth. The custom-crafted porcelain crown matches the natural shade and shape of your existing smile.

Implant-Supported Dental Bridges

For multiple adjacent missing teeth, implant-supported bridges offer a fixed, durable alternative that preserves surrounding healthy tooth structure and restores total bite strength.

Implant-Retained Overdentures

Implant-retained dentures snap securely onto titanium implant posts, eliminating shifting while allowing easy removal for daily hygiene.

All-on-4® Full-Arch Dental Implants

Using four strategically placed implants, All-on-4® restores an entire arch of teeth with permanent, non-removable bridges for life-changing full-mouth restoration.

The Implant Process with Dr. Greer

1. Initial Consultation & Exam: Dr. Greer evaluates your oral health and medical history to map out your personalized implant strategy.
2. In-House 3D CT Imaging: We capture detailed 3D imagery of your jawbone structure to pinpoint precise implant positioning before surgery.
3. Customized Treatment Planning: We detail every step, timeline, and financial investment, including preparatory bone grafting if required.
4. Implant Placement Procedure: The titanium implant post is positioned into the jawbone under local anesthesia or sedation for maximum comfort.
5. Osseointegration & Healing: Over 1 to 2 months, the post fuses naturally with the jawbone to form a solid, permanent foundation.
6. Final Restoration Placement: Dr. Greer attaches your custom crown, bridge, or denture to complete your smile transformation.

Benefits of Choosing Dental Implants

• Built to last a lifetime. Dentures and bridges typically need replacing every 5 to 7 years. Dental implants, cared for properly, last decades, often a lifetime.
• Looks and feels like the real thing. Because the implant anchors into your jawbone the way a natural root does, it feels stable and natural in a way no denture can replicate. Most patients say they forget it’s there.
• Protects the bone you have left. When a tooth is missing, the jawbone beneath it begins to resorb. An implant acts as a root, stimulating the bone and keeping your jaw structure intact, something dentures and bridges can’t do.
• Preserves your surrounding teeth. Traditional bridges require grinding down the healthy teeth on either side to anchor the bridge. Implants don’t touch those teeth at all.
• Zero special maintenance. Brush, floss, and come in for your regular cleanings. No adhesives, no soaking trays, no special kits.
• Gives you your life back. Eating what you want, laughing without self-consciousness, smiling in photos without hesitation. These are the things patients tell us they’ve gotten back after implants.

Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants? What to Do Next

Most healthy adults qualify for dental implants. During your consultation, Dr. Greer will evaluate:

• Jawbone density: measured precisely using our in-house 3D CT scanner
• Periodontal health: healthy gums are essential for implant integration and success
• General health: ensuring optimal healing conditions across all surgical steps
• Age & development: candidates should be 18+ (21+ for smokers) to ensure complete jaw development

Even if bone loss has occurred, bone grafting can often rebuild the necessary bone structure for successful placement. If cost is a concern, ask about the Sweet Water Down By The Bay Membership Club, our in-house plan designed for patients without dental insurance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do dental implants compare to dentures or bridges?

Dental implants replace both the root and crown of a missing tooth, preserving jawbone structure, protecting neighboring teeth, and providing long-term value compared to removable dentures or traditional bridges.

What if I don’t have enough jawbone volume for dental implants?

Using 3D Cone Beam CT imaging, Dr. Greer determines your exact bone density. If needed, preliminary bone grafting can be performed in our Fairhope office to create a sturdy foundation for implants.

I’m nervous about visiting the dentist. Can I talk to someone first?

Absolutely. Dr. Greer offers quick phone or video calls for patients who feel anxious about their visit, so you can ask questions and get comfortable before you come in.
