Understand All Your Options
At one time, multiple missing teeth meant you could either choose a removable partial denture or a dental bridge supported by existing healthy teeth. Dentures are a widely accepted solution, but they can’t return full dental function and are also prone to falling out. Bridges eliminate gaps left by missing teeth, but they need adjacent teeth to be healthy to remain in place. Fortunately, we now have a superior solution that can both fully restore your tooth function and esthetics and keep your jawbone and neighboring teeth healthy long-term.
Implant supported bridges have recently become a popular choice for patients missing several teeth. While standard dental bridges require you to have adjacent teeth filed down, dental implant bridges are permanently kept securely in place by implant posts inserted in your jawbone. These implants replace your natural tooth roots and don’t impact adjacent teeth, giving you better overall benefits, including preserving the health of your jawbone. In a single appointment, our skilled and experienced team can place your dental implants in Aiken, SC, restore them in-house, and have you leave our office with a beautiful, healthy smile! Bela Family Dentistry has transformed the lives of countless patients who are in your exact situation. Let us do the same for you!

Three Steps to a Complete Smile
Step 1: Consultation
Step 2: Implant Placement
For the surgery itself, we will carefully insert the most beneficial number of durable implant posts into your jaw. During this process we consider multiple factors, including the condition of your jawbone, nerve positioning, and the overall esthetics of your final set of teeth. We use high-quality implants from industry-leading manufacturers like Nobel Biocare and BioHorizons and will recommend a brand based on your specific goals and needs. After placement, we’re generally able to attach a temporary dental implant bridge before allowing you time to fully heal. In this case, you’ll be able to leave our Aiken, SC office the same day of surgery with attractive, functional teeth that will allow you to experience a normal life again!
