Super pleased!!”

Payment Options
Dental implants are a long-term investment in your health and confidence, and we make them accessible. We offer flexible payment plans and work with insurance to minimize out-of-pocket costs for all eligible stages of treatment. While dental implants themselves are not always covered by insurance, parts of the procedure such as crowns or dentures may be. To make care more affordable, we gladly work with CareCredit, the most trusted third-party lender in medicine.
Advanced Technology at Our Slidell Practice
We can craft your custom crown or bridge in-office using our advanced CEREC technology. This allows our dentist to skip the messy putty impressions and fabricate custom crown and dental bridge restorations in as little as an hour.
If you need dentures, the digital impressions will be sent to our trusted lab where they are crafted and returned to our Slidell practice within four to five weeks.
Who Can Benefit From Implants?
Dental implants can provide a host of oral health benefits for patients suffering from:
Missing Teeth
Implants are most commonly used to replace one or more missing teeth. Missing teeth can be caused by trauma, poor dental hygiene, gum disease, or even genetics.
Dental Trauma
Trauma can cause damage that leaves a tooth unable to be saved. In this case, extraction and replacement with an implant and custom restoration is often the best solution.
Slidell Loves Us
“I came to Oak Harbor Family dentistry very skeptical of dentists because I had a terrible experience with another dentist. You want to be able to trust your dentist and feel comfortable going to your appointment and they did not disappoint. Everyone that works there is so personable and makes you feel like they really care about you and the dentists are honest and comfortable to be around. I am so glad to have found them and I trust them 100% with my teeth.”

A Closer Look at Dental Implants
Implants fuse to the jawbone in a process called osseointegration. These titanium devices provide stimulation to your jawbone that helps keep it strong and healthy. We partner with trusted dental experts in the Slidell, LA, area for implant placement surgery.
Implant-Supported Restorations
Restorations attach to your implants via connector pieces called abutments. Your unique dental needs will determine which restoration is right for you. Rest assured that whichever restoration you receive, it will look just like natural teeth. Implant-supported restorations include:
A traditional dental bridge fills gaps in your smile by using crowned teeth to support one or more artificial teeth. Dental implants can provide the necessary support for the artificial teeth, meaning you won't need to crown healthy, natural teeth in order to complete your smile.
