How Dental Implants Can Restore Every Smile

Do you have large sections of teeth missing, making even giving a slight grin an uncomfortable experience? After all, missing teeth can ruin your smile as well as the confidence you have in it.

At Atlantic Dentistry in Kitty Hawk, NC, you can find solutions for your lacking smile, as the dental specialists on site will stop at nothing to equip you with the confidence you need to start showing off your grin again! And the leading way to perfect a broken smile is through dental implants.

Dental Implant Procedure

Dental implants are small titanium posts used in replacement of the roots of missing teeth. After they've been inserted in your mouth with a minor surgical procedure accomplished right here at Atlantic Dentistry, realistic-looking porcelain dental crowns will be later placed on top for a renewed smile.

While dental implant treatments take anywhere from five to eight months after the initial consultation, the surgery itself is usually painless, with any residual post-op pain typically minor at most. If you do feel slight pain immediately after getting dental implants in your mouth, simply use over-the-counter medications like ibuprofen, or just apply ice on the sore area for pain relief.

Are Dental Implants Right For Me?

In order to find out if you qualify for dental implants, come on in to Atlantic Dentistry and set an appointment for a complete oral examination, so dental technicians can take x-rays of your jaw structure and determine whether now is a good time to begin your dental implant therapy.
