Dental Implants

Overview of Dental Implants

We provide implant dentistry in Lexington, SC. Dental implants are titanium fixtures surgically placed in the jaw. They are threaded like screws, yet shaped like our tooth roots. Once placed, dental implants take 4-6 months to become fully integrated to the jawbone. Because they are made of titanium, the body recognizes it as highly bio-compatible.

Specially designed components are chosen to be attached to the implants, which will emerge from the gums. These attachments can be used to support a variety of tooth replacement options, such as single-tooth crowns, which are fixed/cemented or multiple-tooth dentures and partials (removable).

Dental implants have an amazing 92% success rate! They rarely fail due to breakage and cannot decay. This is the best technology we have in implent dentistry for tooth replacement and will only become more popular in Lexington, SC and in the future.
