"Dr. Mac is an A+ dentist." High Praise for Our Dentist in Adel
"Dr. Mac is an "A" plus dentist. My family and I chose him as our dentist in 2007 when we moved to Adel. He's a football fan and all 3 of my son's look up to him. But what places him above the rest for me, is his faith and love for God."

Are Dental Implants Worth the Cost?
Most dental professionals agree that implants are the best solution to missing teeth. While implants cost more than traditional restorations, their long-term benefits to your oral health make them worth the price tag. Our Adel office also offers CareCredit® financing that breaks your cost into low-interest monthly payments, allowing you to receive treatment without exceeding your budget.
What Are My Dental Implant Options? Solutions To Meet Every Need
Dr. McCartney will recommend the best option for you based on your oral health and degree of tooth loss. In addition to traditional dental implants, Dr. McCartney also offers:
All-on-4 Dental Implants
The All-on-4® method is an advanced form of dental implant placement that can support a full-arch denture with four implants instead of the typical six. The strategic placement of these four implants allows patients with low jawbone density to receive treatment without a preliminary bone graft. The All-on-4 method can securely hold your dentures in place while they function like your natural teeth.
Implant-Supported Bridges
A dental bridge can replace multiple consecutive teeth. Traditional dental bridges are attached to your two natural teeth on either side of the gap. However, this method requires alterations to your natural, healthy teeth. Dr. McCartney can secure your dental bridge with implants instead. This method prevents jaw atrophy and requires no alterations to healthy natural teeth.
Implant Conversion
Patients who currently wear removable dentures can still benefit from dental implants. Dr. McCartney can surgically place your dental implants and modify your existing dentures to attach to them. This helps save patients the cost of a brand-new restoration while giving access to the benefits of dental implants. Never again will you worry about your dentures sliding out of place.
How Do Dental Implants Work? A Closer Look
Dental implants are small titanium posts surgically placed into your jaw to act as a sturdy base for life-like restorations like crowns, bridges, and dentures. Because dental implants integrate with your jawbone to provide stimulation in the same way as tooth roots, they are as close as you can get to having each healthy, natural tooth back.
What Can I Expect During Implant Treatment?
The process of receiving traditional implants requires at least two surgeries with three to six months of healing time in between. In general, here is what you can expect from start to finish:
Dental implants allow patients to eat whatever they want and chew with comfort with restorations that look, feel, and function like natural teeth.

How Delayed Treatment Can Lead To More Expensive Procedures
When left untreated, missing and severely damaged teeth can lead to significant oral health issues and more time in the dental chair. Risks include:
Gum Disease
Missing teeth make patients more susceptible to gum disease and infection. This can spread to surrounding teeth leading to additional tooth loss that can require more dental work.
Jawbone Atrophy
Missing teeth can lead to jawbone atrophy, oral health issues, and a change in appearance. Without dental implants stimulating bone retention, you could suffer from health and cosmetic issues that can lead to a need for expensive treatments.
Infection & Decay
A severely damaged tooth can be extracted and replaced with an implant. When left untreated, a damaged tooth can lead to infection, decay, tooth loss, and damage to surrounding teeth.
Physical Health
Oral health concerns like gum disease and infections can affect your overall health, increasing your risk of heart disease and hypertension. Maintaining good oral health could help prevent time spent in your dentist's and medical doctor's offices.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Implants
Q: How long do dental implants last?
A: With proper oral hygiene and regular dental care, dental implants can last a lifetime. The crown, bridge, or denture attached to the implant may eventually need replacement.
Q: Do dental implants feel like real teeth?
A: Yes. Because implants are attached to the jawbone like natural tooth roots, they offer excellent stability and feel nearly identical to natural teeth when chewing or speaking.
Q: Can smokers still qualify for dental implants?
A: Yes — but smoking can impact healing and increase the risk of implant failure. Dr. McCartney will evaluate your health history and provide guidance to improve your long-term outcome.
