Dental implants are the gold standard for tooth replacement, a permanent, natural-looking solution that restores both the appearance and function of your smile. Unlike dentures or bridges that sit on the gum surface, a dental implant is a small titanium post surgically placed into your jawbone, where it fuses with the bone over time to create a stable, long-lasting foundation for a replacement tooth.
At Bright Smiles Family Dentistry in Garner, NC, we offer comprehensive implant services from single tooth replacement to full-mouth restoration. Our team combines surgical precision with artistic craftsmanship to deliver results that look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
When a tooth is lost, the jawbone beneath begins to deteriorate due to a lack of stimulation. Implants mimic natural tooth roots, stimulating the bone and preventing bone loss.
Unlike bridges that require grinding down healthy adjacent teeth, implants stand independently, preserving your natural tooth structure.
Eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Implants function just like natural teeth, allowing you to enjoy all your favorite foods.
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, far outlasting bridges and dentures.
Your journey begins with a comprehensive examination, including:
During a minor surgical procedure, we carefully place the titanium implant into your jawbone. Local anesthesia ensures your comfort throughout. The procedure typically takes 1-2 hours per implant.
Once integration is complete, we attach a small connector (abutment) to the implant, which will hold your custom crown.
