Getting dental implants can be a big decision, and Southeastern Dental Center understands our responsibility to be informative, transparent, and to make you comfortable from the very first visit. From the initial consultation and comprehensive planning to the surgery day and immediate transformation, our team will answer all of your questions and guide you through every step.

In addition to the newfound confidence that can come from a beautiful, new smile, dental implants offer numerous benefits and advantages, making them a reliable, long-term solution for missing or damaged teeth:

  • Natural Look and Feel – Implants restore full chewing function and blend seamlessly with your smile.
  • Long-Lasting – With proper care, implants can last a lifetime.
  • Preserves Bone and Facial Structure – Implants prevent bone loss, maintaining your jaw and facial appearance.
  • Eliminates the Need for Removable Appliances – Enjoy a stable, permanent alternative to dentures.
  • Comprehensive Care – At Southeastern Dental Center, we offer personalized treatment plans and follow-up care ensuring each patient’s needs are met. All procedures are completed in a modern, safe facility, with the convenience of handling treatments in one location.
  • In-House Digital Lab – We’ve revolutionized the dental implant process with our on-site digital facility. Your custom teeth are designed and crafted right here, ensuring perfect fit and superior quality.

Caring for Your Dental Implants 

Additionally, dental implants can improve your overall health by resolving periodontal disease and eliminating the potential for harmful infections. Unlike bridges and dentures that typically need replacement every 5-10 years, implants represent a cost-effective, permanent solution that can last a lifetime with proper care.

To ensure your dental implants remain healthy and functional, follow these essential care practices: 

  • Brush Regularly – Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive fluoride toothpaste twice daily to remove plaque and protect gums. 
  • Floss Daily – Use implant-safe floss or an interdental brush to prevent plaque buildup around implants. 
  • Use a Water Flosser – Effectively clean between teeth and around implants to remove food particles and bacteria. 
  • Avoid Hard Foods – Minimize stress on your implants by avoiding foods that could cause damage. 
  • Wear a Night Guard – Protect implants and natural teeth from grinding or clenching.

Southeastern Dental Center offers comprehensive care, before, during, and after implant surgery. All treatments are performed in one location, often within a single appointment, minimizing disruptions and ensuring long-term success.
