Dental Implants in Greenville, SC
The most natural-looking way to replace missing teeth.
The Advantages of Dental Implants
Dental implants are custom-designed to blend in with your surrounding teeth (identical color, shape, feel, and every little detail). No one will notice it, and eventually, not even yourself!
No more pain while chewing! Dental implants function the same as a natural tooth, so you eat all your favorite sticky, crunchy, and hard foods again.
A dental implant won’t move around while you talk like a denture might. You’ll be free to speak with clarity and confidence!
Dental implants are durable and not subject to decay. With proper care, the crown can last for 10+ years, and the dental implant post can last a lifetime.
Replacing your tooth’s root will prevent bone loss, which stops adjacent teeth from shifting, keeps your face supported, and helps you look younger.
Compared to other tooth replacement options that need ongoing maintenance or work done to adjacent teeth, dental implants are a cost-effective investment long term.

If your answers are yes, then you’re likely a good candidate for dental implants. However, to confirm, please schedule a complimentary consultation with Dr. Ayers. If you’re not a candidate for implants, we’ll discuss alternative options.
