There are various types of dental implant procedures, in our Spartanburg, SC office we provide the following implant procedures.
Implant-Supported Bridges
Implant-supported bridges utilize dental implants instead of crowns or other frameworks. The dental implants are positioned into your jaw, forming a solid anchor as the bone and metal implant fuse together over time. Normally one implant is surgically positioned for each missing tooth, then these implants keep your bridge in the correct position. Your bridge is then created to match the color, shape, and size of your surrounding teeth. Your new Implant-supported bridge is then attached to the implants. Regarded as the most stable bridge option, an Implant-supported bridge usually involves 2 surgeries to complete this process. First you will have the implants positioned in your jawbone and then a second surgery is needed to place the actual bridge on the implants. An Implant-supported bridge procedure will let you to enjoy a healthy new smile and renewed confidence in your bite.
Single Tooth Implant
By replacing a single tooth in our Spartanburg, SC office and you can avoid a conventional bridge and your adjacent teeth are preserved. Single-tooth implants do not decay or need root canal treatments and have the highest long-term success rates for replacing a single tooth. Enjoy your new tooth!
All-on-4 Full Arch Implant Procedure
With the All-on-4 implant procedure, we can literally restore an entire row of teeth in just one appointment at our Spartanburg office. With just four to six strategically placed implants, we can use them to fully support an implant-retained denture that simply snaps onto them. All on four dentures replace all of your teeth with a permanent set of natural-feeling prosthetics that function exactly like a real set of teeth. Permanently affixed to your jaw with titanium screws, they will not shift or slip and do note put unwanted pressure on your gums. Eating and biting are much more comfortable, as they act just as natural teeth do. Maintenance for All-on-4 dental implants is the same as your natural teeth, meaning regular brushing and flossing are all that is required to keep them looking great.
More Benefits with less costs. All-on-4 dental implants require fewer supporting screws than many other implants. Therefore, they are often the superior and cost-effective option when replacing the majority or entirety of your teeth. At Spartanburg Dental Associates in Spartanburg, SC, we will discuss all the options with you to make sure you are getting the best treatment possible.

Denture technology has come a long way. It is now possible to have a dental implant procedure performed in a single day, allowing you to save time and heal faster. It means less time off work and less time before you can start enjoying the foods you love again. The size, type, and method of your implant will vary, depending on your personal needs. Our Spartanburg, SC staff at Spartanburg Dental Associates will walk you through what’s needed, following your consultation.
Bone Grafts & Sinus Lifts
Bone grafting helps preserve your smile and the natural contour of your jaw by adding grafting material around gum disease-affected teeth or to places where tooth loss has occurred. Placing grafted material in areas of missing teeth strengthens and prepares the sites for dental implants. Rebuilding your bone in areas of deterioration provides a firm foundation to which your implants can fuse. When you lose an upper tooth, especially to gum disease, there may be little bone with which to work. A “sinus lift” can resolve that. During a sinus lift, a small opening is made in the sinus above the roots of the affected tooth to form a small, balloon-like space where your dentist will place the composite to secure the implant.
