Dental implants have been the most preferred option for tooth replacement for more than 35 years. With an average success rate of 95 percent, you’ll gain a complete smile that’s secure and permanent. Using a surgical procedure to insert the prosthetic teeth, you’ll have a long lasting solution to tooth loss that closely mimics your natural teeth. As a dental implant dentist, we offer dental implants in Mt Pleasant SC for single, multiple, and full mouth replacements.
Benefit from Dental Implants in Mt. Pleasant SC
To receive dental implants, you’ll have to undergo a surgical procedure to insert bio-compatible titanium posts into the jawbone. Since the posts are inserted into the jawbone, you will need to have proper bone density and healthy gums and bones. The health and density of the bone is important to allow the bone to naturally fuse to the posts. Once fused, the posts will serve as the tooth root. An abutment is then used to anchor a prosthetic tooth in place.
Since the teeth are held in place by the posts, they are permanent, offering increased security and biting force. You’ll not only regain full chewing and speaking ability without any slipping or discomfort, but you’ll promote your oral health. The posts stimulate healthy bone growth, preventing the onset of additional oral health complications, such as additional tooth loss. You’ll give your facial structures and teeth the support they need for a natural look.
Implants can be used to fill the space of one or more missing teeth. If only one tooth is missing, we will use one implant to resolve the lost tooth. For those with multiple missing adjoining teeth, we can use one to two implants to replace the teeth. For those who are missing all of their teeth on the top or bottom jaw, we can use 4 to 6 posts to replace the full arch.
