How Dental Implants Can Impact Your Smile And Your Life
You have several options when it comes to dental implants
To give you a beautiful and functional smile, Forest Smiles utilizes the latest dental implant procedures and technology.
Missing just one tooth?
A single dental implant crown is your best option. It will:
● Look and work like a natural tooth
● Restore your natural chewing ability
● Preserve your bone
● Save you money in the long run
Missing several teeth?
A multi-implant bridge is ideal for filling medium-sized gaps in your smile. These bridges are:
● Incredibly strong
● A permanent solution
● Great at preserving your bone
● A life-long natural teeth replacement solution
Missing lots of teeth?
Implant Stabilized Overdentures offer a cost-effective alternative to regular dentures. These overdentures:
● Snap into place over 2-4 implants
● Help prevent bone loss
● Vastly improve your food chewing and tasting
A Full Fixed Set Of Teeth
This full, fixed arch implant uses the latest dental technology to give you a dream smile that’s as good as if not better than the smile nature gave you. The bridge:
● Is chip and stain resistant
● Offers a permanent solution (does not need to be removed
● Is custom designed to fix onto 4-6 implants per arch

I've been a patient of Dr. Claiborne’s for a long time. I have been recently going through the implant process since March 2022. I will definitely say that the staff has definitely put my mind at ease throughout this. Dr. Claiborne does an amazing job with his work and explaining the process. I would recommend Forest Smiles to anyone whether it’s just for your routine dental care, restorative or dental implants. What a lot of people don’t know is that the implant process is all done at that location rather than having to refer you out to different offices. That’s definitely a plus!

I have been a patient of Dr. Claiborne’s for 17 years and can’t imagine going anywhere else. Before meeting Dr. Claiborne, I proceeded to purchase a set of dentures which never fit properly, I had to keep adding adhesive just to be able to keep them in my mouth. My dentures would slip down when I was talking and even began to slide out of my mouth, how embarrassing. Dr. Claiborne recommended that I have dental implants installed. He and his staff were always patient and caring helping me throughout the dental implant process. I have been able to eat corn on the cob and do not have any chewing limitations. When people would comment on how pretty my teeth were, they could not believe they were dental implants. I strongly recommend Dr. Claiborne to everyone; he and his staff are so professional and kind.

Several years ago, my Dentist, to whom I had gone, since in my Mother's womb, LITERALLY, retired. I thought I'll never find another Dentist that I love like him, but I did, in Dr. Claiborne!

And he does EVERYTHING, from Cleaning, to X-Rays, to Fillings, to Crowns, and even to IMPLANTS, and I have had every one of those services done, & all SO SUCCESSFULLY & HAPPILY SO!! Thanks to Dr. C & Staff, I have my smile back!! Thanks Doc and Staff! I love you all to infinity and BEYOND!! Linda Gouin :)

First of all - if you're having problems with a poor fitting lower denture that is rubbing and causing you to have sore spots, I most heartily recommend getting implants. I had my implants done a few years back and it is nothing short of a miracle. I can honestly say it is one of the best things I've ever done. You'll wonder what took you so long. Also, "Forest Smiles" is the best. The dentist, hygienists, receptionists. etc., are very professional and caring and a pleasure to deal with.
