Tooth Replacement Therapy in Surf City, NC

The Impact of Missing Teeth

Missing teeth affect more than your appearance — they can impact your confidence, your bite, and even your overall health. Gaps in your smile can cause neighboring teeth to shift, make chewing more difficult, and lead to bone loss in the jaw over time. Left untreated, this can alter your facial shape and increase the likelihood of future dental problems.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are small titanium posts that replace missing tooth roots and support natural-looking restorations. They feel and function like real teeth, restoring your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. At Surf City Dental, Dr. Compton utilizes advanced technology to achieve precise, comfortable results that last.

3 Reasons to Consider Tooth Replacement Therapy

Dental implants do more than replace missing teeth — they restore your quality of life. Implants look, feel, and function like your own teeth, allowing you to eat your favorite foods without worry. They also preserve bone structure, protect surrounding teeth, and prevent the sunken appearance that can come with tooth loss. With proper care, dental implants can last for decades, giving you a strong, confident smile for years to come.

They Protect Your Jawbone and Facial Structure

Unlike bridges or dentures, dental implants replace the tooth root — stimulating your jawbone and preventing bone loss. This helps maintain your natural facial shape and a youthful appearance.

They’re Built to Last

With proper care, dental implants can last decades — often a lifetime. Other tooth replacement options may need to be repaired or replaced over time, but implants are designed for long-term strength and stability.

They Feel and Function Like Natural Teeth

Implants are securely anchored in your jaw, so you can eat, speak, and smile without slipping or discomfort. There’s no need for adhesives or removing them at night — they stay in place just like real teeth.

What Are All-on-4® Dental Implants?

All-on-4 dental implants are a modern way to replace a full set of teeth using just four well-placed implants. This innovative solution is perfect if you’re looking to restore your entire smile without needing an implant for each missing tooth. In other words, with All-on-4, you can achieve a complete, natural-looking smile in a single procedure! 3D illustration of All-on-4 dental implants with titanium screws and natural-looking replacement teeth in a jaw model, highlighting tooth replacement therapy.

How Do All-on-4 Dental Implants Work?

The All-on-4 system places four titanium implants into the jawbone at specific angles. The dentist precisely places two implants in the front of the jaw while the other two are at a 45-degree angle toward the back to maximize stability and support. This strategic placement allows for immediate attachment of an entire arch of replacement teeth, often eliminating the need for bone grafting.

Over time, the implants fuse with the bone through osseointegration, providing a strong and durable foundation for your new teeth. This procedure restores your smile, helps prevent bone loss, and maintains the overall health of your jaw.

Your Journey to Getting Dental Implants

Your path to a healthier smile begins with an in-depth consultation with one of our implant dentists. Our commitment is to chart the best path forward for your needs and craft a solution that’s tailored just for you. If you have questions or concerns, our knowledgeable dental team is here to guide you every step of the way.Smiling man with blonde hair and a beard, showcasing a confident smile, representing the positive outcomes of dental implants for restoring smiles and dental health.

Step 1: Implant Surgery

By planning your procedure with advanced technology like 3-D cone beam scans, we ensure that your implant is placed precisely for the best long-term outcomes. After placement, a healing process called osseointegration occurs, where bone grows around the implant and holds it securely in place.

Step 2: Implant Healing

Implant healing takes approximately 3–6 months. During this time, we will keep a close eye on your progress. Your comfort and the success of the procedure are our top priorities. After healing, we’ll attach a custom-crafted tooth restoration to restore the implant and complete your smile.

Step 3: Restoring Your Implant

We offer several types of tooth replacement options, depending on the number of missing teeth. We recommend an implant crown for single-tooth replacement and an implant bridge or denture for multiple teeth or full arch tooth replacement.

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)

CBCT cone beam technology takes dental imaging to another level, offering three-dimensional insights into the structures of your mouth and jaw. Unlike traditional x-rays that offer a flat perspective, the CBCT provides our dentists with a 360-degree view, allowing for precise treatment planning, which is especially crucial for procedures like dental implant placement.

For you, this means enhanced accuracy and predictability in treatments, which leads to optimal outcomes. The detailed visualization reduces the chances of surprises during procedures, fostering confidence and trust in the care you receive.
