Dental Implants in Van Buren, AR
If you are missing a tooth or living with one that cannot be saved, dental implants in Van Buren, AR can restore your smile so it looks, feels and works like a natural tooth. At EXO Dental on Fayetteville Road, our implant-focused dentists have extensive training in tooth replacement and use 3-D scans to plan every case precisely.
Whether you need a single tooth implant or are replacing several missing teeth, we will build a plan around your goals, your comfort and your budget.
What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is a small titanium post that takes the place of a missing tooth root. Once it bonds with your jawbone, it provides a stable foundation for a custom crown that matches your surrounding teeth. Because the implant is anchored in the bone, it does not slip, and it helps preserve the jaw over time. For many patients, an implant is the closest thing to getting a natural tooth back.
Why choose dental implants for missing teeth?
- Natural look and feel — the crown is shaded to blend with your smile.
- Stability — eat and speak with confidence, no adhesives needed.
- Jaw health — implants help maintain bone where a tooth is lost.
- Long-lasting — with good care, implants are built to last for years.
- Protects neighboring teeth — unlike some options, an implant does not rely on the teeth beside it.
Single tooth implant vs. replacing several teeth
Single tooth implant
For one missing tooth, a single tooth implant and crown fill the gap without affecting healthy neighbors. It is a self-supporting solution that looks seamless.
Several missing teeth
If you are missing several teeth, implants can support a bridge, or a full arch can be secured with just a few implants. Ask us about full-arch dental implants and implant-supported dentures if you are replacing a whole row of teeth.

Are you a candidate?
Most healthy adults with one or more missing teeth are good candidates for implants. Even if you have been told you lack bone, options like grafting often make treatment possible. The best way to know is a quick exam and scan. Your dentist confirms your plan at the consultation.
Cost and financing for dental implants in Van Buren
The investment depends on how many implants you need and whether any foundation work is involved, which your dentist confirms at your consult. Many patients are surprised that a long-lasting implant can be a smart value compared with repeated repairs. To help, we work with up to six healthcare financing lenders that approve a wide range of credit, and co-signers are welcome, so you can spread the cost into monthly payments. Learn more on our financing page. As an out-of-network practice, we also file your insurance claim after treatment, though most plans cover implants poorly.

Frequently asked questions
How long do dental implants last?
With good daily care and regular checkups, implants are built to last for many years, and often for decades.
Does getting an implant hurt?
The area is numbed, so the placement is comfortable. Sedation is available if you feel anxious, and most patients report an easy recovery.
What if I do not have enough bone?
Bone grafting or a sinus lift can rebuild the foundation so an implant becomes possible. Your dentist confirms this at your scan.
How much do dental implants cost in Van Buren?
Cost depends on the number of implants and any foundation work, confirmed at your consult. We work with up to six healthcare financing lenders (wide credit range, co-signers welcome). We’re out-of-network and file your insurance claim afterward, though most plans cover implants poorly.
Can one implant replace a single missing tooth?
Yes. A single tooth implant with a custom crown fills the gap without affecting the healthy teeth beside it.
How long is the whole process?
It varies, because the implant needs time to bond with the bone. We will give you a realistic timeline at your consultation.
