Dental Implant Services
Replace Your Missing Teeth
If you have missing teeth but want to avoid partials and dentures, consider getting dental implants. Implants are the closest thing to a strong, natural tooth, boasting both a root and a crown. We offer dental implant services at our Bartlett, Collierville, and Memphis, TN; Paragould, Blytheville, and Jonesboro, AR offices.
What to Expect
The dental implant process involves placing a small titanium post in the socket left by a missing tooth during oral surgery. Titanium is biocompatible, so jawbone tissue grows into the post, creating a strong anchor for a dental crown. Once healed properly, a dental crown or plate is placed on top of the titanium post. Implants can replace one or more missing teeth.
There are three parts to an implant:
Implant Post: Known as the body or the foundation. The purpose of the post is to act as an anchor.
Abutment: This piece serves as the base for the crown. It connects the implant post and the crown.
Crown: This is the final component of a dental implant. It is the artificial tooth that replaces the original tooth.
Benefits of Dental Implants
They are a permanent solution: Unlike other solutions for missing teeth, dental implants are permanent. With the proper care, they are designed to last a lifetime.
Dental implants will improve your speech: Missing teeth can alter your speech, and since implants function like natural teeth, they will enable you to speak more clearly.
They function like natural teeth: Dental Implants are anchored into your jaw with a titanium post that replaces the tooth root, which allows you to bite with the same force as your natural teeth.
Prevent bone loss: When you lose teeth, you also lose bone mass. Dental Implants provide your jawbone the stimulation it needs to maintain itself.
Improves self-confidence: Dental Implants help bring you back your smile and confidence – No more hiding your smile!
Implant Dentures
Full arch implant dentures operate as replacement teeth and feel just as natural. The implant denture screws directly into your jawbone, functioning as real teeth. These replacements are not removable, and they allow an open palate in the denture without the use of adhesives.
The process of an implant denture is similar to the process of a single implant. The dentist places multiple posts in the jawbone, depending on the desired result, to create a strong anchor for the denture. This allows the implant denture to feel as natural as possible.
What is All-On-4?
All-on-4® dental implants are a life-changing solution for patients missing all or most of their teeth. Using just four strategically placed implants, we can secure a full set of permanent teeth—restoring your smile, bite strength, and confidence.
At Higginbotham Family Dental, we use advanced digital imaging to place your implants with precision and provide same-day temporary teeth in many cases. This approach reduces the need for bone grafting, shortens treatment time, and lowers overall cost.
What is All-On-X?
All-on-X is a flexible full arch implant technique that customizes the number of implants placed—whether it’s 4, 5, 6, or more—based on your unique jawbone structure and treatment goals.
This approach is ideal for patients who need extra support or want the most natural feel and durability possible. Whether you need an implant-supported denture or a fixed full arch restoration, All-on-X allows us to create a personalized solution that’s built to last.
Palatal Approach to Implant Placement
In certain advanced cases, we may use a palatal approach to implant placement. This method involves placing implants in the palatal (roof) area of the upper jaw to maximize bone support and stability. This is done especially when the outer jawbone is thin or compromised.
This technique requires advanced skill and training, and Dr. Higginbotham is well-equipped to evaluate and perform these specialized procedures when needed.
What is the cost?
The cost of a dental implant can vary, but once we have an exam and x-ray of your mouth, our team can give you a true estimate. We offer payment plan options to make dental implants more affordable. We also accept Care Credit if you prefer third-party financing. With our payment plan options we will work with you to make sure you are all set to start treatment right away without the stress of cost holding you back.

Why could dental implant services be the best option?
Dental implants may be the best option for you because they offer several advantages over other tooth replacement options. First and foremost, dental implants provide a permanent solution that mimics the look and feel of natural teeth. Unlike dentures, which can slip or cause discomfort, implants remain securely anchored in your jawbone, allowing you to eat and speak confidently. Furthermore, they help preserve your jawbone structure, preventing the bone loss that often occurs with missing teeth. Additionally, dental implants do not require altering adjacent teeth, unlike dental bridges, which may involve grinding down healthy teeth. This preservation of natural tooth structure makes implants a healthier choice for your overall dental health. Moreover, with proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, offering a cost-effective solution in the long run. Ultimately, dental implants restore not just your smile but also your self-confidence, making them an excellent investment in your oral health.
