Dental Implants

Replace Missing Teeth with Confidence

If you’ve lost a tooth due to injury, decay, or extraction, you know it can impact everything from your ability to chew to your confidence when smiling. At Cross County Dentistry, we offer dental implants—an advanced, long-lasting solution that closely mimics the look and function of natural teeth.

Whether you’re missing one tooth or several, we’re here to help you rebuild your smile with results that feel just like the real thing.

What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is a small titanium post that acts as an artificial tooth root. It is surgically placed into the jawbone, where it fuses with the bone over time. Once healed, a custom abutment and crown are attached to complete the restoration.

Implants can be used to:

• Replace a single missing tooth
• Support a bridge for multiple missing teeth
• Anchor a full denture for improved stability and comfort

Benefits of Dental Implants

• Permanent and Long-Lasting: With proper care, implants can last decades.
• Natural Look and Feel: They function and appear just like real teeth.
• Preserve Jawbone and Facial Structure: Implants stimulate bone growth and prevent deterioration.
• No Impact on Neighboring Teeth: Unlike bridges, implants don’t rely on adjacent teeth for support.
• Restored Confidence and Function: Chew, smile, and speak without worry.

The Dental Implant Process

1. Consultation & Evaluation: Dr. DuRant will assess your bone health, oral condition, and overall treatment goals.
2. Implant Placement: If you’re a candidate, we’ll refer you to a trusted specialist to place the implant.
3. Healing Period: The implant fuses with your jawbone over 3–6 months.
4. Restoration: Once healed, we complete the process with a custom-designed abutment and crown.

We’ll guide you through each step, working closely with local oral surgeons to ensure your comfort and success.

Are Dental Implants Right for You?

Dental implants are an excellent option for many adults with good oral and overall health. If you’re missing one or more teeth, we’ll help you explore whether implants are the right fit based on your bone structure, health history, and goals.
