Dental Implants in Bedford, IN
Lawrence County has been building things to last for 150 years. Your teeth should be no different. Bloom Dental on Dental Drive brings permanent, surgical-grade tooth replacement to Bedford — no long drives, no strangers.
Advanced Implant Care — Right Here on Dental Drive
For years, getting a dental implant meant a 45-minute drive to Bloomington or 75 minutes to Indianapolis. That changed when Bloom Dental opened on Dental Drive in Bedford.
A dental implant is a titanium post surgically placed into your jawbone, where it fuses with the surrounding bone over a period of months. Once integrated, it serves as the root for a custom crown, bridge, or full-arch prosthetic that looks, bites, and functions like a natural tooth. Unlike removable options, it won't slip during a meal or require adhesive — and because it stimulates the jaw, it helps prevent the bone loss that follows tooth extraction.
Patients from Oolitic, Mitchell, Orleans, and Paoli drive into Bedford along IN-37 for the same reason quarry workers here cut limestone with precision: quality matters, and the right tools for the job are worth seeking out. At Bloom Dental, Drs. Mohrman, Dai, and Neal handle everything from the first consultation through final restoration — working together on complex cases so every plan is reviewed by more than one set of clinical eyes.

The Right Structure for Your Situation
No two mouths are the same — no two solutions should be either. Bedford patients have access to the full range of implant restorations, planned specifically around their anatomy and goals.
The Precision Anchor
One post, one custom crown — matched to the color and shape of your surrounding teeth. The cleanest, most conservative solution for a single gap. Preserves neighboring teeth by eliminating the need to grind them down for a bridge. See our single-tooth implant page for more detail.
The Spanning Solution
Two implants can anchor a bridge over a gap of two or three consecutive teeth — replacing a whole section without individual implants at every position. Fewer posts, same permanent result. Implant-supported bridges are a strong option for patients with several adjacent missing teeth.
Complete Reconstruction
For patients missing all or nearly all teeth on a jaw, four to six implants can support a fixed full-arch prosthetic — replacing an entire arch with a restoration that is screwed in, not removable. All-on-4 and similar protocols are reviewed at your consultation.
The Stable Foundation
Two or four implants placed strategically in the jaw create anchor points for a snap-in implant-supported denture. Removes the rocking and slipping that comes with traditional dentures while keeping costs lower than a fully fixed arch. A popular choice for patients who currently wear dentures and want more confidence day to day.
Bedford's Precision Heritage Meets Implant Technology
The stone carvers of Lawrence County don't eyeball their cuts — they measure, plan, and execute to spec. Our CBCT-guided implant protocol works the same way: every placement is mapped in three dimensions before the first incision.
- 3D Bone Mapping Our CBCT scanner captures your exact bone volume, density, and anatomy — not a flat X-ray estimate. Every placement decision is grounded in your actual jaw structure.
- Surgical Template Fabrication A patient-specific guide is made from the CBCT data, physically directing the implant to the planned position and angle during surgery — eliminating freehand variation.
- Bone Graft Assessment If the scan reveals insufficient bone volume, grafting can be incorporated into the treatment plan and completed here in Bedford — no outside referral required.
- Multi-Doctor Case Review Complex implant cases are discussed across the Bloom Dental clinical team before the treatment plan is finalized — you benefit from collective expertise, not a single opinion.
What Lawrence County Patients Tell Us Matters
After treating implant patients from across the region, we've learned what people in this community actually need from their dental provider.
Three Dentists, One Street
Having Drs. Mohrman, Dai, and Neal under one roof at 1504 Dental Drive is unusual for a community of Bedford's size. It means depth of experience and a second opinion is always within reach — without requiring you to go anywhere else.
Permanent Care, Not a Patch
A dental implant is a long-term structural decision — not a temporary fix. We treat it that way. Every plan starts with a thorough assessment, and we don't recommend treatment that won't serve you well ten or twenty years from now.
Appointments That Respect Your Day
Lawrence County runs on trades, agriculture, and healthcare — not flexible desk schedules. We plan implant visits to minimize your time in the chair per appointment and give you a realistic timeline before you commit to anything.
Built Around Bedford's Schedule
We're open Monday through Thursday, 8 AM to 5 PM — designed to accommodate the workweek of a community that starts early. The office is on Dental Drive off IN-37, reachable from anywhere in Lawrence County without navigating downtown traffic.
Financing That Fits the Region
We accept Delta Dental, Blue Cross, Aetna, Cigna, UHC, Medicare, DentaQuest, and AlwaysCare. For patients without dental coverage, CareCredit, Proceed Finance, and our in-house Dental Membership Plan all help spread the investment over time.
Clear Answers Before You Commit
No surprises. Before treatment begins, we walk you through your CBCT results, the recommended plan, an itemized cost estimate, and your insurance coverage. You leave the consultation knowing exactly what's ahead — and why each step is there.
Three Dentists — A Depth Uncommon for a Community This Size
Most towns the size of Bedford have one dentist. Bloom Dental Bedford has three — which means more clinical perspectives on your case and a level of coverage that keeps your care continuous regardless of schedule.
Dr. Ben Mohrman
DDSDr. Mohrman brings a patient-first approach to complex restorative cases. His experience with dental implants in Bedford spans single-tooth replacements through full-arch reconstructions. He collaborates closely with Drs. Dai and Neal on cases that benefit from more than one clinical perspective.
Dr. Jefferson Dai
DDSDr. Dai combines meticulous planning with surgical precision. His work with CBCT-guided implant placement means patients from Mitchell, Oolitic, and across Lawrence County receive the same standard of imaging-driven care previously only available in larger metro practices. He values the collaborative model that Bloom Dental's Bedford team provides.
Dr. Kristin Neal
DDSDr. Neal is known for putting apprehensive patients at ease before and during implant procedures. Her attention to the restorative outcome — how the final crown looks and functions — means patients leave with a result they're confident showing off. She regularly handles implant-supported denture cases that allow longtime denture wearers to eat and speak without worry.
Questions from Lawrence County Patients
Answers to what patients from Bedford, Oolitic, Mitchell, and surrounding communities ask most before their first consultation.
How much do dental implants cost in Bedford, IN?
Cost depends on how many teeth are being replaced, the restoration type (single crown, bridge, full arch), and whether bone grafting is part of the treatment. We provide a written, itemized estimate at your consultation — before anything is scheduled. Financing is available through CareCredit, Proceed Finance, and our in-house Dental Membership Plan for patients without insurance. Call (812) 275-7975 to ask general cost questions before booking.
Does Bloom Dental Bedford place implants on-site, or do I need to see a specialist elsewhere?
Your 3D CBCT scan, implant surgery, and final restoration all happen at our 1504 Dental Drive office. Complex cases are reviewed across the Bloom Dental clinical team — you get the benefit of multiple dentists weighing in, without being sent to a different provider or a different city. The American Academy of Implant Dentistry has helpful patient resources on implants if you want background reading before your consult.
Does dental insurance cover implants in Bedford?
Many plans now include implant benefits. We accept Delta Dental, Blue Cross, Aetna, Cigna, UHC, Medicare, DentaQuest, and AlwaysCare, and we verify your specific coverage before treatment begins so there are no billing surprises. Patients without dental coverage can use our Dental Membership Plan to reduce out-of-pocket costs.
How long does the implant process take from consultation to final crown?
Most patients complete the process in three to six months, with the bulk of that time being the osseointegration phase — your jaw fusing naturally with the titanium post. Some patients receive a temporary tooth during healing. CBCT-guided planning keeps each appointment targeted, so you're not in the chair any longer than necessary.
I work in the quarries or in construction — can I still get dental implants?
Yes. A physically demanding job doesn't disqualify you from implant treatment. The main clinical factors are adequate bone volume and overall health — both assessed with a CBCT scan at your first visit. If years of heavy work or a previous oral injury have led to bone loss, grafting can often be incorporated into the same treatment plan and handled here in Bedford. Come in and let's look at what you're working with.
Do you see patients from Oolitic, Mitchell, Orleans, and other Lawrence County towns?
Yes — patients from across Lawrence County and the surrounding region travel to our office on Dental Drive. We're positioned right off IN-37 in central Bedford, which puts us within a straightforward drive of Oolitic, Mitchell, Orleans, Paoli, Williams, and most of south-central Indiana. Our Bedford location page has directions and parking details.
Am I a candidate for dental implants?
Most healthy adults with one or more missing teeth are good candidates. The consultation includes a 3D CBCT scan that maps your bone precisely — we review it together so you understand exactly what we're working with. If you've experienced bone loss, grafting is frequently an option that can be addressed as part of the same plan. You can also check our eligibility screening tool online before you come in.
Do you offer sedation for implant procedures in Bedford?
Yes. Sedation options are available for patients who want a calmer experience during implant surgery. We review the available options at your consultation based on your health history and the scope of the procedure — so you can make an informed choice before the day of surgery.
