Dental Implants
To replace one or more missing teeth, dental implants provide the most lifelike prosthetic. Implants feature a crown and root structure, so they function, feel, and look like beautiful, healthy teeth. One dental implant can hold one replacement tooth, or a few implants can secure a bridge, partial, or denture. Depending on your case, the dentist will advise you on the most appropriate type of implant. We provide complete dental implant placement and restoration, as well as implant-retained dentures, in the comfort of our Aberdeen dental office.
Your Implant Procedure
After your initial consultation, significant time will be spent by your doctor in planning treatment precisely for optimal results. The implant post or posts will be placed into sockets left by missing teeth during a brief outpatient surgical procedure in our Aberdeen, NC implant dentistry office. You may wear temporary teeth while your mouth heals. Once the implants are stable and the jaw has healed, the doctor will work with our dental lab to fabricate custom crowns or a bridge, partial, or denture that looks and feels completely natural in your mouth.
All-on-Four Implant-Retained Dentures
The All-on-Four procedure by Nobel Biocare involves placing four dental implant posts to hold a snap-in denture securely in place. This system is designed for patients who have limited amount of bone and or a limited budget. This non-removable dental implant option is designed to maximize the use of available bone on just 4 implants.With implant-retained dentures, you’ll no longer need to rely on natural suction or denture crème. You’ll also be freed from the cumbersome and time consuming task of daily denture maintenance. Patients with implant-retained dentures don’t experience slippage, looseness, or wobbly dentures. Instead, they smile and eat with full confidence!
Mini Dental Implants
If your jawbone density is insufficient to support full-size dental implants, the doctor may suggest Mini Dental Implants, or MDIs. These small implant posts screw into the jawbone in a non-surgical procedure. They can provide good stability for denture patients.
Dental Implants CAN:
- Restore the look and feel of natural teeth
- Allow you to eat all the foods you love
- Enable you to talk, laugh and even sneeze without worry
- Preserve the jawbone by halting bone loss
- Improve comfort, speech and facial appearance
Dental Implants DO NOT:
- Require the support of adjacent teeth (no crowning needed)
- Cause embarrassing slips or clicks
- Develop decay or require root canals
