Chew, Smile, and Talk Easily Again with Solid and Functional Dental Implants
Dental implants are an excellent option for anyone who has lost one or multiple teeth to injury or decay. Unlike other teeth replacements, dental implants are anchored in the jawbone, providing exceptional stability when eating, smiling, or talking. Because of this firmness, teeth implants don’t move, slip, or fall out when using your teeth.
Triad Dentistry is renowned for planning and placing high-quality implants that look natural and last years. No matter how many teeth you have lost, we can give you back your beautiful, functional smile. If you live in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, or nearby areas, schedule an appointment with our Triad Dentistry doctors to replace your missing teeth with predictable implants.
Actual Patient Results
How are dental implants placed?
A traditional implant is about 3-6mm long, so you need a healthy bone to support this. However, advanced gum disease and tooth loss can deprive your jawbone of sufficient height and volume. In such cases, we recommend bone grafting to replenish lost bone tissue.
Since placing implants requires surgery, we’ll anesthetize your gums for a painless dental experience. Still, if you are anxious about your treatment, you can speak to us about sedation dentistry. Your comfort is our priority, whether undertaking minor or complex treatments.
Your implant surgery involves placing a titanium post at a precise location in the jawbone to support optimal alignment and function. The titanium post is biocompatible with the body. Over the next six months, it will fuse with the jawbone to form a secure foundation for your replacement teeth. After osseointegration, you’ll return to our office for a minor procedure to attach an abutment to your implant fixture. This small metal connector extends above the gum line, serving as the foundation for your final restoration.
The last step is to place a natural-looking crown or denture onto the abutment. That’s it! Your new tooth will look and function like the natural one it replaces and, with proper care, remain healthy and functional for many years.

Are dental implants worth it?
The initial investment for a dental implant may seem significant, leading you to question whether it’s truly worth the cost. However, dental implants are an excellent choice when considering their long-term benefits. Unlike other tooth replacement options, implants are permanent, eliminating the need for frequent replacements. Over time, the durability and longevity of implants result in fewer costs and less hassle compared to the alternatives.
The other life-changing benefits of implants include.
- Natural feel and appearance
- They preserve the jawbone in the area placed
- Enhanced chewing and speaking ability
- Proven technology with over 95% success rate
- Implants don’t need any special maintenance
- They are just as stable as natural teeth
- Implants prevent the nearby teeth from shifting
- Dental implants are versatile to replace any number of missing teeth in the mouth
