Dental implants are the most durable way to replace a missing tooth, and residents of Cade and the surrounding Lafayette Parish communities have easy access to fellowship-trained implant care at Maison Dental Studio. Dr. Murray and Dr. Mullen are both Fellows of the International College of Oral Implantology (ICOI) and completed advanced residency training focused specifically on implant surgery, so both the surgical placement and the final restoration are handled by the same team, in-house.
Unlike a bridge or denture that rests on the gums or nearby teeth, an implant replaces the tooth root itself. A titanium post is placed into the jawbone, where it fuses with surrounding bone through osseointegration, creating a stable foundation for a crown, bridge, or full-arch prosthesis. Cade sits just a short drive from our Youngsville practice, making it convenient for local patients to get the same coordinated, technology-driven implant care available throughout the Acadiana area.
From single-tooth replacement to full-arch restoration, we use 3D imaging, digital treatment planning, and surgical guides to plan each case with precision before any procedure begins, helping ensure predictable, long-lasting results.
Every implant case is different, which is why our team builds a plan around your specific anatomy, bone structure, and goals before any procedure begins. Cade residents have the same full menu of implant solutions available to Youngsville and New Iberia patients: single-tooth implants, All-on-X full-arch restoration, implant-supported dentures, and treatment for a previously failed implant. Same-day and next-day restorations are available for qualifying patients, so many people leave with a functional, natural-looking tooth in as little as 24 hours. When a sinus lift or bone grafting is needed to prepare the site, we walk you through why that step matters before moving forward.

Cost depends on the complexity of your case, whether preparatory steps like a sinus lift or bone grafting are needed, and the type of restoration you choose. Many dental insurance plans treat implants as elective and provide limited or no coverage, though some plans offer partial reimbursement toward the crown. We work with Cherry and CareCredit financing, along with in-house payment options, and will walk you through a full cost breakdown at your consultation.
A single dental implant replaces one missing tooth with a titanium post fused to the jawbone and topped with a custom crown. Full-arch options, such as All-on-X, replace an entire arch using as few as four strategically placed implants to support a fixed prosthesis. Both types are placed and restored in-house by Dr. Murray and Dr. Mullen, who will review your imaging and bone structure to recommend the right fit.
After placement, we provide detailed instructions on diet, swelling management, and follow-up care during healing. Once the implant has integrated with the jawbone and the final restoration is in place, care is straightforward — brush and floss as you would natural teeth and keep up with regular professional cleanings. Implants don’t decay, but surrounding gum tissue can still be affected by periodontal disease, so consistent home care matters.
Most adults with adequate bone density and healthy gum tissue are candidates for dental implants, though every case is evaluated individually. If bone volume has decreased after tooth loss or the sinus cavity sits close to the upper jaw, procedures like bone grafting or a sinus lift can create the foundation needed for a successful placement. We’ll review your imaging and health history at your consultation to confirm the best path forward.
Timelines vary by case. Some patients qualify for same-day or next-day restorations, receiving a temporary prosthetic within 24 hours of surgery. Others need staged treatment — healing time for osseointegration, or preparatory procedures like a sinus lift or bone grafting — before the final restoration is placed. We’ll outline a realistic timeline for your specific case during your consultation.
Implant failure is uncommon — success rates consistently exceed 95%, according to the American Academy of Implant Dentistry — but it can occur, most often due to infection, insufficient bone integration, or uncontrolled systemic conditions. Contact our office if you notice persistent pain beyond normal healing, implant mobility, worsening swelling, or difficulty chewing so we can address it early.
