Dental Implants Available in Mooresville, NC

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are permanently anchored to the bone. They are the ideal solution for replacing missing or failing teeth due to their strength, longevity, and completely natural appearance and feel. Implants are very durable and can last a lifetime with proper care.

• Implant: An implant is a titanium screw-like post that creates a stable base for your new tooth. The implant is permanently secured in the bone.
• Abutment: An abutment functions as a connector piece that secures your new tooth to the titanium implant and will not be visible in your mouth.
• Crown, bridge, or denture: This is what goes on top of the implant and acts as a replacement tooth or teeth. Your crown, bridge, or denture will be custom-made to seamlessly match your natural teeth in color, size, and shape.

Once a tooth is lost, things can happen that you might not notice at first but can have negative effects on both oral health and appearance. Some of the benefits of dental implant treatment include:

• preserves bone structure and gums
• prevents teeth from shifting
• restores ability to chew normally
• improves self-confidence with a healthy smile
• provides a strong, stable, and durable foundation for high-quality replacement teeth
• esthetically restores your smile
