Missing teeth can affect more than just your appearance—they can also impact your ability to chew, speak, and maintain overall oral health. At Palmetto Dental Arts, we specialize in high-quality dental implants that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. Whether you're missing a single tooth, multiple teeth, or need a full arch restoration, our advanced implant solutions can help you regain your confidence and improve your oral health.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are permanent tooth replacements that consist of three main components:

• Titanium Post: Surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as a root for the replacement tooth.
• Abutment: A connector piece that attaches the crown to the implant.
• Crown: A custom-made, natural-looking prosthetic tooth that matches the color and shape of your existing teeth.

Unlike dentures or bridges, dental implants integrate with your jawbone, providing unmatched stability and preventing bone loss over time.

Benefits of Dental Implants

✔️ Natural Look and Feel – Dental implants are designed to match your natural teeth, providing a seamless and realistic appearance.
✔️ Improved Oral Health – Implants prevent bone loss and preserve the natural structure of your face and jaw.
✔️ Enhanced Functionality – Enjoy the ability to chew, speak, and smile without discomfort or fear of slipping.
✔️ Long-Term Solution – With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime.
✔️ Protect Surrounding Teeth – Unlike traditional bridges, implants don’t require the alteration of adjacent teeth.

Types of Dental Implants

1. Single-Tooth Implants

Ideal for replacing a single missing tooth, a single implant is paired with a custom-made crown for a natural appearance.

2. Implant-Supported Bridges

When multiple teeth are missing, implant-supported bridges provide a secure and stable solution without relying on natural teeth for support.

3. Full-Arch Implants (All-on-Four)

For patients missing an entire row of teeth, full-arch implants use as few as four or six implants to support a complete set of replacement teeth. This provides a permanent and stable alternative to traditional dentures.

The Dental Implant Process

Step 1: Consultation and Evaluation

During your initial visit, our experienced dentist will evaluate your oral health, take detailed 3D scans, and develop a personalized treatment plan.

Step 2: Implant Placement

The titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone. Over time, the implant will integrate with the bone through a process called osseointegration, creating a strong and durable foundation.

Step 3: Healing and Abutment Placement

Once the implant has fused with the bone, an abutment is attached to connect the implant to the crown.

Step 4: Custom Crown Placement

Finally, a custom-made crown is secured onto the abutment, providing a natural-looking and functional replacement tooth.
