Frequently Asked Questions about Dental Implants

Q: “What is a dental implant?”

A: Dental implants act as replacement tooth roots that are surgically placed in the jaw bone to support either fixed single teeth or bridges, or removable dentures.

Q: “How long do dental implants last?”

A: If you take excellent care of your dental implants, they can last a lifetime. Many patients have successfully had functional implants for over 15 years, and the likelihood that your dental implant will be fully functional past 10 years is 90%. Dental implants are a very durable option for tooth replacement!

“I just left this dentist office and I am so impressed. I was able to complete all my paperwork online so I did not have to arrive early and I had only a short wait time once there. While there I learned of tools that I could use at home and even saw what my smile would look like with Invisalign. I walked away with a good experience and my treatment plan. Friendly staff, extremely clean and I felt thoroughly taken care of. Thank you Tryon Family Dentistry”

The Latest in Aligner Technology

What Is Invisalign?

Instead of relying on metal brackets and wires to move teeth, Invisalign uses clear plastic aligners custom designed for each patient’s individual treatment plan. The aligners are designed to fit snugly over your teeth so they don’t interfere with your normal activities or your speech. Because they are clear, they are hardly noticeable and provide the utmost discretion during treatment.
