Dental Implants – Raleigh, NC

Benefits of Dental Implants

Compared to more traditional tooth replacements, dental implants offer a number of distinct advantages:

• Rock Solid: Because dental implants are held within the jawbone just like real teeth, patients are able to eat whatever they like without having to worry about their prosthetic shifting or breaking.
• Unmatched Beauty: Topped with 100% custom-made porcelain restorations, dental implants have a lifelike appearance that blends completely with any smile. Only you and your dentist will know which teeth aren’t your own!
• Bone Preservation: The jawbone naturally starts to shrink after tooth loss, but dental implant roots can help restore its strength and shape by stimulating new blood flow and tissue growth. Right now, implants are the only treatment available that can do this.
• Simple Maintenance: Taking care of implants is easy—patients just have to brush and floss like normal to help them last. Speaking of which…
• Incredible Longevity: Dental implants are often able to last for the rest of a patient’s life without needing to be replaced or seriously repaired.

For patients seeking a long–term, confident smile, implants provide a proven and natural–looking solution. With gentle care and modern techniques available locally, restoring your bite and appearance has never been easier.

Indications for Dental Implants

Any patient with missing teeth can be a good candidate for dental implants. A person simply needs a mouth and jawbone healthy enough to support the new roots. Once this is confirmed with an exam, our dentists can use the following restorations to close the gap(s) in a patient’s smile.

Missing One Tooth

Instead of cutting down the nearby teeth to support a bridge, a dental implant root topped with a single porcelain crown can be placed into the smile without disturbing the remaining teeth, better preserving a patient’s remaining dental structure.

Missing Multiple Teeth

Rather than replacing each tooth with individual implants, a small number of posts can be attached to prosthetics like a bridge or partial denture. This will give the new teeth a much stronger hold and more comfortable fit compared to traditional dental prosthetics.

Missing All of Your Teeth

For patients missing an entire row of teeth who are unsatisfied with their current denture, we can give them a set of teeth they never have to worry about again using just four to six implants placed within the jaw. These will provide a strong foundation for a new denture that will never slip, and it can be trusted to maintain its initial fit for several years.

Understanding the Cost of Dental Implants

Dental implants are extremely versatile, and because of this, the cost of the procedure can differ greatly from patient to patient. Factors such as how many teeth are missing, where they are located within the mouth, and the condition of the jawbone can all influence the final price. We can let you know exactly what you’ll be expected to pay for implants when you come to see us for an in-person consultation, ensuring you begin your treatment without any questions.

Because of the advanced techniques and high-quality materials required for implants, they do tend to cost more upfront compared to regular dentures and bridges, but they are guaranteed to last multiple times longer, which actually makes them more wallet-friendly overall. Instead of having to get a new bridge or denture every five to seven years (which is normal), a patient can undergo a single implant treatment that will easily last for 30 years or more.
