Dental Implant Options in Fayetteville, NC

Dental implants are one of the most versatile solutions for replacing missing teeth. They offer several options depending on how many teeth need replacing, their location, and the patient’s preferences.

Single Implant

When a single tooth is missing, a single dental implant replaces the root of the natural tooth, and a crown is attached to replace the visible portion of the tooth. For many patients, the implant and a temporary crown can be placed on the same day if a tooth must be extracted. After the implant has healed around the implant, the temporary crown is replaced with a permanent one.

Fixed Bridge on Dental Implants

A fixed dental bridge provides greater stability, comfort, and biting force for patients missing several teeth compared to a removable partial or full denture. A custom-fabricated bridge permanently attached to dental implants is especially helpful if you are missing several teeth in the back of the mouth.

Full Mouth Dental Implants

A full arch of replacement teeth attached to between four and six dental implants is the ideal permanent solution for patients missing all their natural teeth in the upper or lower jaw. Advantages include greater stability than dentures, increased comfort, a natural appearance, and the ability to eat all the foods you enjoy.

Implant-Supported Dentures

These are also called “snap-in” dentures. Dental implants are placed in the jaw and special attachments are used to “snap” the denture into place. It offers much more stability and chewing ability compared to a conventional denture.
