If you have missing or problem teeth, you may struggle to eat a varied diet or feel embarrassed to talk, smile and laugh. Missing most or all of your teeth can alter your facial appearance, increase your level of discomfort or self-consciousness, and even negatively impact your health. Whether you need to replace one tooth or all 32, dental implants are a lifelong solution. These permanent tooth replacements will restore your smile to its absolute best! Our team at Beautiful Dentistry in Salisbury, NC is experienced in providing dental implants, and we can help you achieve an improved smile and quality of life with this solution.
Dental implants are made of three components: a post, an abutment and a restoration. Together, these elements mimic your natural teeth. Unlike dentures, dental implants connect directly to your jawbone. This limits shrinkage and recession of your jawbone with age, and can help preserve your remaining teeth.
Implants, especially full mouth dental implants, require a well-practiced implant dentist, along with advanced technology and materials. With our expertise, we can help you experience a life of health, function and confidence with dental implants in Salisbury, NC
Dental implants are a lifetime investment in your health, function, and quality of life. Avoid the common mistakes people make when considering implants by following our recommendations.
At Beautiful Dentistry, we take in patients for dental implants who have been turned away by other dentists. That’s one of the reasons we offer free second opinion consultations for dental implant surgery. We have found that most people are candidates for full mouth dental implants.
If you have extensive tooth decay, many underlying health conditions, oral infection or significant bone loss in your jaw, we may need to address these issues before proceeding with dental implant surgery. However, if it’s within our power to make you a candidate for dental implants, we’ll be glad to help you on your journey to dental health.
When properly installed, dental implants feel as comfortable as your regular teeth. You may have a few weeks of pain and soreness after the initial surgery, but as soon as you heal, you can go back to eating an unlimited diet. If you continue to feel pain and bruising in your gums for more than two weeks, that’s a sign that you should consult us to see what can be done about your situation. It’s important to note that because implants are permanently fixed, there’s no friction between them and your gums, as you may encounter with dentures. Therefore, implants are a less painful alternative to dentures for many people.
Dental implant surgery happens in multiple phases. The first stage is where we remove any problem teeth and insert titanium or zirconia posts. This surgery takes about 1-2 hours for each post we add. After this surgery, you will come away with a temporary set of teeth you will use during the three- to four-month healing period. Once you have healed from the first stage, we take detailed scans of your mouth and fabricate the restorations.
