Dental Implants in Tuscaloosa, AL
Co-Founder, Rhodes & Rhodes Family Dentistry
If you’re missing one or more teeth, you don’t have to live with gaps, discomfort, or removable appliances that shift and slip. At Rhodes & Rhodes Family Dentistry, we offer advanced dental implants in Tuscaloosa to permanently replace missing teeth with natural-looking, long-lasting results. Whether you need to replace a single tooth or restore your entire smile, we have a solution personalized to you.
What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a small titanium post surgically placed in the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Once it integrates with the bone (a process called osseointegration), it becomes the foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture.
Dental implants are:
Strong and stable
Long-lasting (20+ years with care)
Natural in look and feel
Designed to preserve bone and facial structure
Easy to maintain—just brush and floss like normal
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants offer several benefits over traditional tooth replacement options:
Permanent solution — Unlike bridges or dentures, implants don’t need to be removed or replaced every few years.
Prevents bone loss — The implant stimulates your jawbone to prevent deterioration after tooth loss.
Protects surrounding teeth — No need to shave down healthy teeth, as with a bridge.
Improves chewing and speech — Eat and speak comfortably and confidently.
Aesthetically pleasing — Custom-designed crowns look just like your natural teeth.

FAQs
Most patients report minimal discomfort during and after the procedure. We use precise planning, local anesthetic, and offer sedation dentistry to make the process stress-free.
Treatment timelines vary. A single implant may take 3–6 months from placement to final restoration, depending on healing and whether bone grafting is needed.
Implants require the same care as natural teeth—brushing twice daily, flossing, and regular dental checkups. They do not decay but can fail if gum health is neglected.
Yes—for many patients. Implants are more stable, natural-feeling, and preserve bone. However, implant dentures offer a hybrid solution that combines the best of both.
Some insurance plans offer partial coverage. We’ll help verify your benefits and discuss financing options like CareCredit and Cherry to make treatment affordable.
