What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts that replace the root of a missing tooth. Once placed in the jawbone, they provide a secure foundation for a custom dental crown, bridge, or full-arch prosthetic.
Unlike removable options, implants are permanent and fixed, offering the closest feel and function to your natural teeth.
Key Benefits of Implants:
- Prevent bone loss and maintain facial structure
- Look, feel, and function like natural teeth
- No need to alter healthy surrounding teeth
- Improved chewing and speaking ability
- Long-lasting — often decades with proper care
Implants are also ideal for stabilizing dentures or replacing multiple missing teeth with dental bridges.
Our Implant Dentistry Services in Mooresville
Single Tooth Implants
Perfect for replacing one missing tooth. We place a titanium implant in the jaw and top it with a custom-matched dental crown.
Implant Bridges
For multiple missing teeth in a row, an implant-supported bridge can restore both function and aesthetics without relying on natural teeth.
All-on-4® Full Arch Restoration
Need to replace a full set of upper or lower teeth? All-on-4 offers a secure, non-removable alternative to dentures using just four implants per arch.
Bone Grafting & Sinus Lifts
We also offer bone grafting and sinus lift procedures when needed to support successful implant placement in areas of bone loss.
The Dental Implant Process
Step 1: Consultation & 3D Imaging
We use digital X-rays and 3D scans to evaluate bone density and plan your implant placement. We’ll review your goals and determine if you’re a good candidate.
Step 2: Implant Placement
The titanium post is surgically placed into your jawbone. Most patients report minimal discomfort, especially with sedation options available for anxiety or complex cases.
Step 3: Healing & Integration
Over 3–6 months, the implant integrates with your bone in a process called osseointegration. We may place a temporary crown or custom denture during this time, depending on the case.
Step 4: Final Restoration
Once healing is complete, we attach a custom dental crown or prosthetic that matches your natural teeth in color, shape, and function.

Frequently Asked Questions
How painful is getting a dental implant?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort, similar to a tooth extraction. We use local anesthesia and offer sedation dentistry to ensure a relaxed experience.
How long do dental implants last?
Dental implants can last 20+ years, and often a lifetime with good care and regular dental checkups.
What is the best age for dental implants?
Adults of any age can receive implants once jaw development is complete, typically by the early 20s. Seniors can also benefit as long as they meet health criteria.
How long do you go without teeth when getting implants?
You won't have to go without teeth. We often place a temporary crown or denture during the healing period so you can smile and eat comfortably.
