Rockcliff Oral and Facial Surgery & Dental Implants Center

Dental implant candidacy depends on factors such as your oral health, available jawbone, remaining teeth, and the type of tooth replacement you need. At Rockcliff Med Park, an oral surgeon can evaluate your mouth and imaging to determine whether dental implants and any supporting procedures are appropriate for your treatment plan.

Dental implant costs vary based on the number of teeth being replaced, the type of implant treatment, and whether procedures such as tooth extraction or bone grafting are needed. After evaluating your treatment needs, the Rockcliff team can provide a personalized estimate and review financing or payment options.

Full arch dental implants are the surgical supports placed in the jaw to anchor a new arch of teeth, while the full arch restoration is the prosthetic portion attached to those implants. At our Med Park oral surgery center, Rockcliff provides the surgical side of implant treatment, while Dr. Leah Anderson Bridges, Rockcliff’s Asheville prosthodontist, focuses on full-arch restoration and full-mouth reconstruction through Envision Dental Implant Center, allowing the surgical and restorative phases to be coordinated in one Asheville location.

Yes. Many TMJ problems can be managed with nonsurgical treatment depending on their cause and severity. Rockcliff Med Park provides comprehensive TMJ evaluation and treatment, including conservative, minimally invasive, and surgical options when appropriate, to ensure care can be tailored to the specific joint problem.

TMJ surgery may be considered for certain structural or advanced joint conditions or when appropriate nonsurgical treatment has not provided enough relief. The Med Park team evaluates the joint, symptoms, imaging, and previous treatment before determining whether a surgical approach is appropriate.

Recovery and stabilization after corrective jaw surgery depend on the specific procedure and individual treatment plan. Modern surgical techniques may use plates, screws, and elastics rather than traditional prolonged jaw wiring, and your surgeon will explain the expected recovery approach before treatment.

Impacted wisdom teeth may need to be removed when they contribute to pain, infection, damage to nearby teeth, or other oral health concerns. An oral surgeon can evaluate their position with an exam and imaging and determine whether removal is recommended, even when symptoms are not yet severe.

The appropriate anesthesia or sedation option depends on your procedure, medical history, and individual comfort needs. Rockcliff may use local anesthesia, nitrous oxide, IV sedation, or general anesthesia depending on the case, and your surgical team will review the safest option with you before treatment.

Dental implant coverage varies by insurance plan and the details of your treatment. Rockcliff can help review your benefits and provide an estimate of your expected costs before treatment. Financing options may also be available through Sunbit, CareCredit®, and Proceed Finance, depending on eligibility and treatment needs.
