Dental Implants for Fayetteville, NC & Beyond

Broken or missing teeth not only affect your confidence but also your ability to eat properly. If you’re in need of a solution, you’ve come to the right place. The general dentists at New Beginnings Dental Center have all the proper experience and tools to restore your smile with dental implants. While there are other options available, dental implants are one of the more permanent tooth replacements.

What is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant is a small titanium post that’s placed in the bone socket of the missing tooth. During the healing process, the jawbone will grow around it, which will properly secure it. Once healed, the dental implant will provide a strong foundation to support a crown.

Who is a Candidate for Dental Implants?

While dental implants can replace missing or broken teeth, candidates must have a strong and healthy saw bone in order to support the tooth replacement. They can be a more permanent solution for those with dentures, partial dentures, and dental bridges.

What Are the Benefits of Dental Implants?

Natural-Looking

While there’s a range of dentistry solutions to choose from, dental implants are one of the most natural-looking options. From shape to color, our team can customize the dental implant to blend in seamlessly with the surrounding teeth.

Long-Lasting

While the process may seem a bit overwhelming, the results are worth it. The titanium post that’s used creates a bio-compatible dental implant, meaning it’s not only nontoxic but it’s also less likely to be rejected by the body.

Prevent Bone Loss

After just one year after losing a tooth, the jawbone in that area loses about 25% of its volume. While other solutions such as dentures may improve functionality, they can also accelerate bone loss. Dental implants are one of the most effective ways to prevent any further bone loss.

 Are Dental Implants Considered Cosmetic Dentistry? 

Dental implants are not a part of cosmetic dentistry but are considered restorative dental care because they are installed to keep someone’s mouth structure from deteriorating. Missing teeth will cause the muscles and bones in your jaw to begin disappearing. The reason this happens is because missing teeth create gaps in your jawline where no chewing is happening. When you do not use certain parts of your muscles to chew, you lose strength there. Dental implants are a wonderful way to prevent the loss of strength in your gums because your dental implants will be screwed into your jaw so you can eat food normally.
