Restore your beautiful and healthy smile with dental implants at Legacy Oral & Facial Surgery. We serve Hickory, Morganton, Statesville, and Asheville, NC.
Dental implants are simply replacement tooth roots. They are used to provide a strong foundation for replacement teeth made to match your natural teeth. A dental implant procedure is suitable for various dental problems including tooth decay, periodontal disease, and tooth trauma.
Using the latest advancements in dental implant technology, our experienced oral surgeons will single-stage implants in your gum after extracting the damaged teeth. In some cases, the tooth extraction and implant procedure can be done at the same time. Visit our dental office for a consultation about our tooth replacement procedures.
During the first evaluation, we will estimate the dental implant surgery cost depending on the implants’ position within the jaw, the types and number of required implants, and the need for any further mouth procedures required in preparation for the surgery.
Our oral surgeons will carefully remove the damaged tooth if it’s still there.
Next, the jawbone is prepared for surgery. Bone grafting usually takes place during this time. This involves replacing lost bone to provide a solid foundation for the implants. It also helps restore proper facial contour.
