Dental Implants

When you have missing teeth, it’s not only an inconvenience, but it can destroy your confidence and wreak havoc on your oral health. Choosing a dental care professional who has the ability to restore your smile after tooth loss will give you full function and a beautiful appearance, allowing you to attain the level of health and happiness you desire.

Beacon Dental is proud to provide our patients with dependable restoration with dental implants; dental implants are the only restorations that can replace a missing tooth and act independently, not relying on adhesives or nearby teeth for stability. We invite you to call our Winterville, NC office today and learn more about our dental implant options. If you are interested, you can schedule your free consultation to get started!

Single Implants

A single implant is designed to replace a single tooth. This restoration does not rely on neighboring teeth, adhesive, or suction to stay in place; just like a natural healthy tooth, it gains its strength from the jawbone. This implant is composed of three separate pieces; together, these artificially replicate the entire crown and root of a natural tooth. 

  • The implant post is embedded in the jawbone during the placement surgery. 
  • The post is then left to heal for three to six months; during this time, it is able to integrate with the jawbone.
  • Upon healing, the post is topped with an abutment. This piece acts as a connector between the post and crown.
  • Your custom-made crown is secured to the abutment in the last step. Allowing your new appliance to function and appear just like a natural tooth.

Implant-Supported Bridges

An implant-supported bridge is similar to a traditional bridge. The only difference is that the appliance is secured to dental implants instead of neighboring teeth. This means it won’t be necessary for any of your healthy teeth to be prepared and capped with dental crowns. Instead, these healthy teeth will be left untouched and their health will not be compromised.
