Losing a tooth changes more than your smile — it changes how you chew, how your jawbone holds its shape, and eventually how your other teeth start to shift into the gap. An implant fuses directly into the jawbone through osseointegration, giving you something a bridge or partial can't: a replacement root, not just a replacement tooth.
Our network's implant specialists use 3D cone-beam imaging to map bone density before ever touching a drill, so the placement plan accounts for exactly how much bone you have to work with. For patients with lower bone density, bone grafting or a sinus lift is scoped out during that same consultation — not discovered mid-surgery.
The waiting period after placement exists for a reason — rushing the crown onto an implant that hasn't fully integrated risks the restoration failing. A temporary tooth usually covers the gap during that healing window so you're not left with a visible space.
Placement is handled by periodontists or oral surgeons with specific implant-surgery training, not a general dentist doing it occasionally.
Cone-beam CT imaging maps your jawbone in three dimensions before the surgical guide is fabricated.
You get a written stage-by-stage estimate — surgery, healing period, and crown — before agreeing to anything.
If your jawbone needs building up first, that's handled without bouncing you to a separate specialist's office.
Our network specialists cover the full range of this procedure, from the routine case to the complicated one.
One missing tooth gets one implant post and one crown, designed to blend in rather than stand out.
Multiple missing teeth in a row can be replaced with a bridge anchored to as few as two implant posts.
A full arch of missing teeth is restored using just four strategically angled implants per jaw.
Traditional dentures that slip get snapped onto two to four implants for a stable, non-slip fit.
Rebuilds bone volume in the jaw or lifts the sinus floor to create room for implant placement.
Some patients leave with a temporary tooth in place the day of implant placement, swapped for the permanent crown later.
You describe what's going on; no automated menu, no long hold.
We match you with a nearby specialist experienced in this exact procedure and check real-time openings.
The specialist examines your case, often with same-visit X-rays, and gives you a cost estimate before starting anything.
Treatment proceeds on the agreed plan, with clear aftercare instructions and a follow-up if the case calls for one.
"They walked me through the cost and the procedure before I agreed to anything. Appreciated that."
"Got in faster than I expected for something this specific. Staff were sharp and direct."
"Price they quoted on the phone matched the invoice exactly. No surprise charges."
Most cases run three to six months total, mainly waiting for the bone to fuse to the implant post before the crown goes on.
Placement is done under local anesthesia, and most patients describe recovery discomfort as similar to a tooth extraction.
Low bone density doesn't automatically rule out implants — grafting is a common first step for many patients.
Cost varies by case complexity and whether grafting is needed; we provide a written stage-by-stage estimate before you commit.
An implant replaces the tooth root directly in the jawbone, while a bridge anchors to the neighboring natural teeth instead.
The titanium post itself rarely fails; the crown on top may need replacement after a decade or more of wear.
We keep an updated roster of specialists across Saxon and the surrounding zip codes, so a nearby provider is already in our network.
Every provider carries an active SC dental license, verified before referral.
