Dental Implants

Professional dental implants in Raleigh permanently replace missing teeth. Dr. Allen and the Creedmoor Road team deliver strong, natural-looking results built for long-term confidence.

What are dental implants & what are they made of?

Dental implants are a permanent solution for tooth replacement, made to look, feel, and function just like your natural teeth. They’re made up of three main components:

The implant fixture (or implant post) – a small titanium post placed into the jawbone
The abutment – a connector that attaches to the implant
The implant crown – the visible, custom-made tooth restoration

Once placed, the implant integrates with your jawbone, helping prevent bone loss and providing a stable foundation for your new tooth. The process usually involves placing the implant, allowing time for healing, and then completing the final implant restoration.

Types of tooth replacement using implants:

Dental implants can be customized to replace one tooth, several teeth, or a full arch.

Common implant solutions include:

Single tooth replacement – one implant with a custom implant crown
Implant supported bridge – ideal for multiple missing teeth
Full mouth dental implants/full mouth replacement – restore an entire arch of teeth
All-on-4 dental implants/All-on-6 dental implants/All on X dental implants – advanced full-arch solutions using fewer implants
Implant supported dentures/implant retained denture/overdentures – provide greater stability than traditional dentures
Mini dental implants – a smaller option used in certain cases

Your treatment plan will be tailored to your oral health, goals, and the number of teeth being replaced. The team at Creedmoor Road General Dentistry can help you decide which dental implant solution is the right fit for your smile and your lifestyle.

Patient Before & After Smile

The implant procedure, timeline & what to expect:

The dental implant process is done in stages. This helps ensure proper healing and long-term success. Typically, the process starts with a consultation and planning phase. This is followed by placing an implant post in your jawbone. The implant post needs time to fuse with your jawbone, and this phase can take 3-6 months. This step is essential to ensure stability and durability, and it varies from person to person.

Once the implant post has fused with the bone, the abutment and final implant crown are placed. The full timeline can range from a few months to longer, depending on your unique circumstances and healing times. Throughout the process, the team at Creedmoor Road General Dentistry will be there to answer questions, address concerns, and offer meaningful support.

How much do dental implants cost?

The cost of dental implants varies depending on the number of implants, the type of restoration, and whether additional procedures are needed. Single implants, full-arch solutions, and All-on-4 dental implants each have different price points. At Creedmoor Road General Dentistry, we offer clear pricing and flexible payment options to make treatment more affordable.

Are implants covered by insurance?

Some dental insurance plans may cover portions of the implant process, such as the restoration. Coverage varies, but our team will help you understand your benefits and explore financing options. We also offer third-party payment plans to make tooth implants more accessible through monthly payments.

How long does it take to recover from implant surgery?

Initial recovery after implant placement is typically mild, with most patients returning to normal activities within a few days. However, full healing, when the implant integrates with the bone, can take several months. This healing phase is essential for long-term success.

How do I care for my dental implants?

Caring for dental implants isn’t much different than caring for natural teeth. Daily brushing, flossing, and regular dental checkups are essential to maintain your implant restoration and overall oral health. With proper care, implants can last for many years or even decades.
