Dental Implants in Durham, NC
Missing teeth can affect how you speak, eat, and feel about your smile. Dental implants offer a lasting solution that looks, feels, and functions just like natural teeth. With extensive training and a patient-centered approach, we provide implant care designed for long-term comfort, stability, and confidence—helping you enjoy life without hesitation.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are small titanium posts placed in the jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. They create a strong, stable foundation for replacement teeth—whether you need to restore a single tooth, several, or a full arch. Over time, the implant naturally bonds with your bone, providing a durable and long-lasting solution.
Unlike traditional bridges or dentures that rest on the gums, implants become part of your jaw structure, helping prevent bone loss and maintain your natural facial shape. This makes them one of the most reliable and natural-feeling options for replacing missing teeth.
The Dental Implant Process
As your family dentist in Durham, we utilize advanced technology and a methodical approach to ensure successful implant outcomes:
- Comprehensive Evaluation: Using our state-of-the-art CBCT imaging system, we create detailed 3D images of your oral structures to assess bone quality and quantity, and precisely plan implant placement.
- Personalized Treatment Planning: We develop a customized implant strategy based on your specific needs, oral health condition, and aesthetic goals, explaining all aspects of the process before beginning treatment.
- Careful Implant Placement: The implant is gently placed in the jawbone using precise techniques to ensure stability and natural alignment.
- Healing and Integration: Over the next few months, the implant integrates with the bone, creating a strong foundation for your new tooth.
- Custom Restoration: Once healed, we attach a custom-made crown or bridge designed to blend seamlessly with your natural smile.
Our goal is to deliver implant care that feels personal, comfortable, and built to last
