If you are missing a single tooth—whether in the front or back, or if all teeth have been extracted and the area has healed—we can restore it within two appointments.
First, we take a cone beam scan and an impression, which we send to the laboratory to fabricate a surgical stent and a custom crown. Once we receive all necessary components from the lab, you return for the second appointment. The procedure involves standard local anesthesia, though sedation is available for patients with dental anxiety.
In just two visits, we can place your new tooth, fully functional and ready for use.

Understanding the Cost of Mini Dental Implants [A Video Guide]
The cost of mini dental implants is often one of the first questions patients ask, and for good reason. Any treatment that involves replacing missing teeth deserves careful consideration.

Do Clear Aligners Work as Well as Braces? Here’s How They Compare
Do clear aligners work compared to braces? It’s a question that tends to come up for a reason. A clear, flexible tray does not appear to match the strength of metal brackets and wires, so it raises a fair question about how it actually performs. At Atkins Dental Clinic, we have treated many orthodontic cases with clear aligners and [...]
Why Minimally Invasive Dental Implants Expand Your Treatment Options
Minimally invasive dental implants broaden eligibility. Traditionally, candidacy relied on available bone and the scope of surgery. With bone loss or more involved procedures, options often felt limited before being fully considered. Eligibility, though, is not defined by one standard. It is a way to evaluate your overall health and determine how treatment can work. Sometimes that means preparing [...]
What Is a Roundhouse Bridge? Rethinking Denture Support With Dental Implants

It restores a full smile and helps you return to a more balanced diet. It replaces what was lost in a way that feels complete again. But there [...]
What It Means To Have a Dentist in Atkins You Can Rely On
Oral health often sits outside the way people think about routine healthcare. Many healthcare and insurance structures treat dental care as separate from general medicine, which can make dental visits feel optional or easy to put off. Cost, insurance limitations, and availability can also make consistent care harder to maintain. When those barriers are in place, early signs of [...]
Understanding Dental Fear and How Sedation Dentistry Can Help
A nationwide survey of 1,003 U.S. adults found that 72.6% reported some level of fear about going to the dentist, ranging from moderate anxiety to severe fear. In other words, dental fear is far more common than many people realize. When anxiety grows strong enough, it can delay appointments or make routine care feel difficult to face. Over time, [...]
Mini Implants vs. Traditional Implants [Video Breakdown]
A dental implant is one of the most beneficial tooth-replacement options because it replaces a missing tooth at its root. The implant is placed in the jawbone and then used to support a crown, bridge, or denture. Other tooth replacement options can still restore a smile, and in some cases, they may be the right fit. But dental implants [...]
