Tired of dentures?

Here at McKinney-Graham Dental Arts, we’re here to tell you:

There are other options.

“So, what are my options other than dentures?”

Whether you’ve been told you need dentures, or you’re tired of dentures and you’re wondering if there’s a better option for you, here at McKinney-Graham Dental Arts, we’re here to tell you—YES… there are other options!

We believe the most common and effective alternative to dentures is Dental Implants. Dental Implants are a valuable alternative to an uncomfortable prosthesis. The implants themselves are small appliances produced from titanium that serve a similar purpose to the roots of natural teeth. They are fused to the jawbone and support overdentures and dental bridges, helping them to perform as our natural teeth would. Once the implants are put in place, you’ll be able to replace anything from one tooth to a whole set with ease.

Given the numerous benefits and aesthetic qualities Dental Implants offer, they have become the preferred method of tooth replacement today.

Dental implants are built to last. While they may need occasional adjusting, they often last a lifetime. In contrast, dental bridges, another procedure to replace missing teeth, tend to only last 5-10 years at most. Because they are long-lasting, dental implants can end up costing less in the long run, depending on your situation.

How can McKinney-Graham Dental Arts use dental implants to transform and revitalize your smile?

Dental implants are one of the many ways McKinney-Graham Dental Arts can give you a long-lasting, beautiful smile.

Without a doubt, losing teeth has a massive effect on your oral health, appearance of your smile and level of self-confidence. Tooth loss can lead to serious nutritional problems, certain cancers, heart disease and obesity, among other concerns. Replacing missing teeth restores your ability to smile and chew comfortably, and prevents further health hazards that often result when tooth loss is left unaddressed.

At McKinney-Graham Dental Arts, we want to give you a long-lasting, beautiful smile, and dental implants in Hickory, North Carolina are just one of the many ways we accomplish this goal.

In what cases are dental implants ideal?

How do they differ from dentures or bridges?

Those likely to benefit from dental implants include people who have been experiencing problems with conventional dentures or, simply, people who have lost a tooth or multiple teeth. Dental Implants make life easier for those who have been finding it difficult to chew and enjoy meals, and they can slow down the process of tissue and bone loss in the jaw. Dental implants can even provide a more youthful appearance due to the way that they will give your facial structure a lift. Did you know that dental implants can even help you to speak more clearly?

In the past, patients who had lost too much bone in the jaw could not receive implants, but due to advances in technology, bone tissues can now be regenerated with special bone grafting technique, making successful implant placement possible in the vast majority of patients. McKinney-Graham uses 3D technology to find areas in the jaw where the bone is dense and plentiful enough to permit the placement of implants at specific angles, which often makes bone grafting unnecessary.
