Dental Implants in Mustang, OK

Replace one tooth, several teeth or a full arch with implant-supported teeth that are fixed in place, with Jon Barnes, DDS.

A replacement that starts at the root

A dental implant is a small titanium post that takes the place of a missing tooth’s root. After it bonds with your jawbone, it supports a crown, a bridge or a denture. Because the implant is anchored in bone instead of resting on your gums or leaning on neighboring teeth, it lets you bite and chew with confidence.

Missing teeth affect more than your smile: nearby teeth drift, your bite changes and the jawbone slowly shrinks. Dr. Barnes will walk you through every replacement option, including bridges and dentures, so you can choose what fits your mouth and budget.

Are dental implants right for you?

Implants may be a good fit if you:

Are missing one tooth, several teeth or all the teeth in an arch
Have a tooth that needs to come out and want to plan its replacement now
Wear a denture that slips, rubs or makes eating hard
Don't want to grind down healthy neighboring teeth for a bridge
Have healthy gums, or are willing to treat gum disease first
Have enough jawbone, or are open to bone grafting if you don't

Smoking, uncontrolled diabetes and some medications can slow healing. Dr. Barnes will review your health history and imaging before recommending implants.

What to expect, step by step

Consultation and imaging. Dr. Barnes examines your mouth, takes the X-rays and imaging needed, and talks through your options and estimated costs.
Implant placement. Dr. Barnes places many single implants right here in our office under local anesthesia, with laughing gas (nitrous oxide) available if you’re nervous. For more complex cases, including full-arch treatment, the implants are placed by the oral surgeon next door, and Dr. Barnes coordinates every step. If bone is thin, a bone graft may be needed first.
Healing. Over the next few months, the bone grows around the implant. In many cases you can wear a temporary tooth so you’re never without a smile.
Your new tooth. Once the implant is stable, we attach a connector (abutment) and a custom crown, bridge or denture shaded to match your smile.
Follow-up. Brush, floss and keep regular checkups. The gums around implants need care too.

Why patients choose implants

Stable chewing

Implant teeth are anchored in bone, so they don't slide around like a loose denture.

Protects neighboring teeth

A single implant stands on its own, so the teeth beside it don't have to be reshaped.

Helps preserve bone

An implant gives the jawbone the stimulation a natural root would.

Natural look

Crowns are custom-made and color-matched to your other teeth.

Long-term option

With good home care and regular visits, implants can last many years.

Dental implant cost, insurance & financing

The cost of implants depends on how many teeth you’re replacing, whether you need an extraction or bone graft first, and the type of tooth that goes on top: a crown, a bridge or a denture. That’s why we don’t quote a price before we’ve examined you. After your consultation, you’ll receive a written treatment plan with every fee listed before anything begins.

Many PPO dental plans cover part of implant treatment or the crown on top, and we’ll file your claims for you. We also accept cash, credit cards, CareCredit, Cherry payment plans and some in-house finance options. Ask us about current implant specials. See Dental Insurance & Financing for details.

Why patients choose Buffalo Creek Dental for implants

Dr. Barnes particularly enjoys implant and cosmetic dentistry. He plans each implant around the final tooth so it looks right and fits your bite, and when a case calls for a surgeon, he works side by side with the oral surgeon next door, so your care stays close to home.

Dental implant FAQs

Does getting an implant hurt?

The area is fully numbed before placement, and most patients describe pressure rather than pain. Mild soreness for a few days afterward is common and is usually managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Laughing gas (nitrous oxide) is available in our office if you’re anxious.

Will Dr. Barnes place my implant?

Dr. Barnes places many single implants in our office. More complex cases and full-arch treatment are placed by the oral surgeon next door, and Dr. Barnes designs and places your final teeth.

How long does the whole process take?

It depends on your situation. Healing after placement usually takes a few months before the final tooth goes on, and longer if a bone graft is needed. Dr. Barnes will give you a timeline at your consultation.

Can implants hold my denture in place?

Yes. Two or more implants can anchor a snap-on denture, and a full arch of teeth can be fixed on four implants. See Dentures and All-on-4 Dental Implants.

Does insurance cover dental implants?

Coverage varies by plan. Many PPO plans pay toward part of the treatment. We’ll check your benefits and file the claim for you.
