Dental Implants in Wake Forest, NC
Missing teeth can impact more than just your smile—they can affect your confidence, oral health, and overall well-being. They can even hinder your ability to enjoy everyday activities, like eating or speaking comfortably.
At Supremia Dentistry in Wake Forest, NC, we specialize in dental implants, offering a permanent solution that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth. As part of our comprehensive approach to cosmetic dentistry, we ensure your restored smile is beautiful and functional.
What is a Dental Implant?
Dental implants are small titanium fixtures that are surgically embedded into the jawbone, acting as replacement tooth roots. After fusing with the jawbone, they create a solid base for replacement teeth, including crowns, bridges, or dentures.
This innovative solution mimics the look, feel, and function of natural teeth, enhancing both aesthetics and oral health. In some cases, sedation options are available to ensure a comfortable and stress-free experience.

Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants offer numerous advantages that go beyond simply replacing missing teeth—improving both functionality and aesthetics. This includes:
- Natural Appearance: Implants are designed to look and feel like your own teeth.
- Durability: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime.
- Improved Oral Health: Unlike dental bridges, implants do not involve modifying the surrounding teeth, allowing you to maintain your natural tooth structure.
- Enhanced Comfort and Function: Implants eliminate the discomfort of removable dentures and allow you to eat and speak with confidence. Plus, maintaining good oral hygiene helps prevent complications like gum disease, ensuring long-lasting results.
The Dental Implant Procedure
Consultation and Planning
We begin with a comprehensive evaluation, including digital X-rays and 3D imaging, to assess your oral health and bone structure. This detailed planning helps us create a customized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.
Implant Placement
Under local anesthesia or sedation, the implant is surgically placed into the jawbone. The procedure is carefully performed to ensure precision and comfort, promoting successful integration.
Abutment Placement
Once the implant has fused with the bone, an abutment is attached to connect the implant to the replacement tooth. This small connector piece ensures a secure and stable fit for your new restoration.
Restoration
A custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is fabricated and secured to the abutment, completing your smile restoration. These restorations are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth for a flawless appearance.
Success Rate of Dental Implants
Dental implants boast a high success rate, often exceeding 95%. Factors contributing to success include good oral hygiene, adequate bone density, and overall health. At Supremia Dentistry, our meticulous planning and advanced techniques further enhance implant success. Patients can feel confident knowing their investment in dental implants is designed to last.
Dental Implant Options
Dental implants come in various options to suit individual needs and preferences. At Supremia Dentistry, we offer the following implant solutions:
All-on-4 Dental Implants
Ideal for patients missing an entire arch of teeth, this technique uses four strategically placed implants to support a full set of prosthetic teeth. It offers a stable, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing solution in fewer appointments.
Implant-Supported Dentures
These dentures are anchored by dental implants rather than resting on the gums. This provides enhanced stability and comfort compared to traditional removable dentures.
Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?
Ideal candidates for dental implants:
- have one or more missing teeth
- possess adequate bone density
- maintain good oral hygiene
- are in overall good health
Conditions like uncontrolled diabetes or heavy smoking may affect healing and implant success. During your consultation, we’ll assess your suitability and discuss any necessary preparatory procedures, such as bone grafting.
For patients looking to enhance their smile further, consider pairing your implant treatment with Invisalign to achieve perfect alignment.
