Dental implants in Durham, NC, Raleigh, NC, and Morrisville, NC, are screw-like posts fabricated from biocompatible titanium or ceramic that replicate the function of natural tooth roots. Dental implants are the only permanent tooth replacement option and unrivaled modern solution for fully restoring function and aesthetics. That said, choosing a skilled implant expert like Dr. Cataldo is essential to achieve the best outcome and reduce the risk of complications, whether you receive a single implant, dental bridge, or removable or fixed implant-supported denture.
Full mouth dental implants in Durham, NC, Raleigh, NC, and Morrisville, NC, are designed to look, feel, and function like your natural teeth—without the many issues associated with traditional dentures. With All-on-X full mouth dental implants, at least four denture implants are placed in each arch to support new teeth. After they fuse with your jawbone, full mouth dental implants prevent bone resorption and associated facial changes, allowing you to chew food properly and speak clearly.
Jawbone deterioration is common if you’ve lost one or more teeth because natural tooth roots provide ongoing stimulation to keep your underlying bone healthy. Dr. Cataldo has advanced training in the latest bone grafting techniques to replace or augment missing bone around your teeth. In addition, when he drills a hole for a dental implant, he harvests the small amount of removed bone matter and packs it back to enhance implant healing and integration.
