Losing a tooth can impact your confidence and your oral health. Left untreated, gaps in your smile can lead to other serious concerns.
At Cary Prosthodontics, our highly trained dentists can replace missing teeth with dental implants for unrivaled benefits.
See why we often recommend this method of tooth replacement to our Cary, NC, and Raleigh, NC, patients…
What Makes Dental Implants a Good Choice?
A Lifetime of Benefits
Crafted with biocompatible titanium, implants can last 40 years or more with proper care. For many patients dealing with tooth loss, implants can provide lifelong benefits. Keep in mind restorations will still need to be replaced periodically.
Improved Jaw Health
Tooth loss does more than just impact the appearance of your smile–it causes the bone tissue in your jaw to begin to shrink. Implants replace a tooth's roots and are the only solution that can stop further bone atrophy.
Restored Function & Health
The titanium base of dental implants keeps restorations firmly in place. This enhanced stability means you can enjoy all of your favorite foods and speak with complete clarity, even if you need to replace a full arch of teeth with dentures.
We Use Advanced Technology
TO MAXIMIZE THESE BENEFITS
Our dental practice practices digital dentistry and is equipped with state-of-the-art tools that allow us to more precisely plan your dental implant treatment. Combined with our in-house lab, we are able to offer our patients nothing short of life-changing results. Our in-office technology includes:
CBCT Scanner
Dental cone beam computed tomography gives our dentists a 3D map to help plan the best placement of your dental implants.
7 Series Dental Scanner
This remarkable machine allows our dentists incredible versatility, speed, and accuracy when designing your new custom-fitted restoration.
Blue Sky Bio System
Advanced treatment planning software means our dentists can accurately place your implants so you can enjoy better success rates and a quicker recovery.

Dental Implants
ADDRESS A RANGE OF ORAL HEALTH CONCERNS
A Missing Tooth
If you are missing a single tooth, our team may recommend an implant-supported crown. For two or more missing teeth in a row, we can place an implant-supported dental bridge at our dentistry practice, serving the Greater Raleigh area.
Widespread Tooth Loss
For patients who are missing most or all of their teeth, a denture supported by dental implants can rebuild the structure of your smile. Depending on your jawbone density, you may qualify for All-on-4® dental implants.
Severely Damaged Teeth
Our dentists always try to save decayed or damaged teeth. That said, there are some situations where removing a patient’s natural teeth and replacing them with dental implants is the best option for restoring their oral health.
Loose or Shifting Teeth
Gum disease, physical trauma, and other oral health issues can lead to loose teeth. If other dental treatments cannot provide the results necessary to save your natural teeth, our dentists may recommend dental implants.
Periodontal Disease
According to the CDC, nearly half of adults 30 or older have some form of periodontal disease. In severe cases of gum disease, removing and replacing the affected teeth with the help of dental implants may restore your gum health.
How Do Dental Implants Protect Your Jawbone?
The roots of a tooth play a crucial role in the health of your jaw as well as the stability of your teeth. Dental roots stimulate nerves in the jaw which signal to the brain that resources are needed in a certain area. When a tooth is lost, the lack of stimulation causes the bone tissue in the jaw to begin to shrink. Left untreated, this condition can affect the stability of the remaining teeth and even change the dimensions of your face.
An implant-supported dental restoration replaces the entire tooth structure. The titanium base generates the same stimulation as natural tooth roots, stopping further jawbone atrophy while providing unmatched stability for a dental crown, bridge, or denture. This means you can restore your smile and protect your dental health with dental implants.

Am I a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?
YOUR LIFESTYLE AND HEALTH CAN IMPACT YOUR CANDIDACY
Bone Density
For dental implant treatment to be successful, you must have enough bone tissue in your jaw to support the titanium posts. Our dentists can assess your bone density and determine whether you need a bone graft to restore your candidacy for implants.
Tobacco Use
Tobacco use negatively affects the outcome of nearly all therapeutic dental procedures. Smoking not only interferes with healing after oral surgery, but it also increases your risk for implant failure. We recommend quitting several months before surgery to prevent complications.
Gum Disease
Your gums are the foundation of your smile, and the health of your gums is a significant factor in the ultimate success of your dental implants. If you have periodontal issues, you may need to undergo a preliminary treatment for gum disease before moving forward with dental implants.
Health History
Health issues such as uncontrolled diabetes, lupus, and other autoimmune disorders can reduce your ability to heal after surgery. During your initial implant consultation at our office, our dentists will review your complete medical history to help ensure implant success.
