We Specialize in Dental Implants
If you’re like many people in Chattanooga, dental implants may be your best tooth replacement option. Beyond their long lifetime, dental implants perform a key function in bone preservation. When you lose a tooth, your jawbone begins to ebb away in that spot. This deterioration can cause your face to sag into that spot and make you look older than you are. And dentures, which rest on your gums, aren’t the fix. They don’t affect bone structure except to potentially cause faster deterioration. However, our experienced oral and maxillofacial surgeons place implants directly into your jaw. This mimics the way your natural tooth roots work, stimulating the bone to prevent loss of facial integrity.
Do you struggle with removable dentures? At Implants & Oral Surgery of Chattanooga, dental implants are our first recommendation. They’re the permanent solution many people are looking for. Many patients discover improved confidence as soon as they receive implants. It’s a relief to smile, laugh, and eat freely again.
Dental Implants Offer
- No slipping
- No adhesive needed
- No discomfort when speaking or eating
Along with better aesthetics and function, dental implants also help keep your oral health strong. Unlike bridges, which require the alteration of adjacent teeth, implants don’t harm healthy teeth. This preserves the rest of your natural teeth and reduces the risk of future dental problems. Given proper, thorough care, dental implants may last a lifetime. This makes them your most cost-effective choice over time. If you’re considering dental implants in Cleveland TN, consult with our experienced oral and maxillofacial surgeons. We’ll help you determine if they’re right for you.
We’ll Consider Your:
- Gum health
- Bone density
- Overall oral health
These all play a role in whether implants are your best option. Bear in mind: some patients may need additional procedures like bone grafting to make sure the implant has a strong foundation. This can add to the overall timeline. However, it can massively increase your dental implant’s success. The benefits of dental implants extend beyond just the patient’s personal experience. Studies have shown that individuals with missing teeth who opt for implants report improved overall health, including better digestion and nutrition due to the ability to chew food properly. Unlike dentures, which can limit dietary choices, implants allow patients to enjoy a full range of foods, contributing to better long-term wellness.
Faith in God is part of the foundation of Implants and Oral Surgery of Chattanooga. Because we believe in the inherent value of each person, we’re dedicated to caring for our patients with honor, respect, and dignity. From the simplest wisdom tooth removal to the most complex jaw restructuring, we provide you the same level of care we’d want to receive ourselves.

“I live in Texas…but my 18 year old son lives in Chattanooga. He went to a dentist and was told that he needed to have six teeth removed…but the surgeon they referred him to couldn’t do it for three weeks. He was having some serious pain from these teeth!!! From Texas, I started calling around to any oral surgeon I could find online. Implants & Oral Surgery of Chattanooga was my third phone call and they worked him into their schedule four days later!! Thank you so much!!! What a WONDERFUL team!!! You guys took care of my son…when I wasn’t able to be there with him! You are AWESOME!!”

“Dr. Childress did an amazing job extracting my wisdom teeth today! 8 hours later…and I’m doing great! What a friendly staff & a great environment!”
Cynthia J.
“I freely confess that I’m a dental coward, so when I found myself needing a tooth removed and a bone-graft for an implant, I was not a happy girl! I’m so glad that I found EBOS. They were wonderful and every single person there went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and confident. My surgery was a breeze and my recovery has been perfectly uneventful. It’s so totally out of character for me that I actually look forward to my visits there! Honestly, I don’t know why anyone would go anywhere other than to EBOS. They and their amazing staff have my very highest recommendation.”
Allison J.
“Staff, I want to thank you for taking great care of me throughout my visit and procedure. I felt as if I were the only patient in the office – you were all so attentive. I had experienced the attention you give when you took care of my father-in-law, J.J. That’s why it was and is so easy to refer family, friends and Dr. P’s patients to your office. Thank you again and blessings to each and every one of you!”
Kristen B.
