Missing teeth can cause issues with self-confidence, anxiety, and trouble chewing and digesting food. When talking with our dental implant patients, we often hear that they have started to shy away from social situations, avoid favorite foods, and suffer from other negative consequences.Â
The highly trained dentists at Relax Dental in Burlington, NC offer dental implants that replace missing or damaged teeth to restore your confidence and your natural smile.
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made from biocompatible materials, designed to support prosthetic teeth that look and function like your natural teeth. Unlike removable dentures or conventional dentures, dental implants offer a permanent and stable solution for replacing missing teeth.

If you’re missing teeth, or know you have to have teeth removed for medical or cosmetic reasons, you don’t have to suffer in silence—dental implants may be a great solution for you. Although there are temporary options such as partial or complete dentures, implant dentistry is a solid and permanent solution that restores your beautiful smile once and for all
Relax Dental is dedicated to providing patients with the best implant dentistry in North Carolina. Our team is constantly undergoing continuing education, honing their skills, and learning about the latest procedures, treatments, and technology in the implant dentistry field.
In our office, we use several systems of implants, depending on the results we are trying to achieve. Your care plan may include extractions, bone grafts, root canals, fillings, or gum treatments. We may be able to accomplish everything in one visit, or we may require a few visits. We offer All-On-4 implants as a one-stop implant experience; talk with your practitioner about whether the All-On-4 system is right for your needs.
Because we are known for our excellence in implant dentistry, we have many patients who come from across the state or even out of state to receive care here at Relax Dental. In those cases, patients are often able to have their preliminary CT scans done at home so that we can be prepared when they arrive at our office. No matter where you live, we hope you’ll contact us to learn more about implant dentistry.

Frequently asked questions
The dental implant procedure typically involves several steps. First, your dental provider will assess whether you have adequate bone and healthy gum tissue for implant placement. Then, during dental implant surgery, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon or trained dentist places the implant body into the bone in your jaw. After a healing period for bone growth and bone healing, implant abutments are attached to the implant to support the new artificial tooth.
Â
You may be a candidate for dental implant therapy if you are missing teeth, have natural bone and soft tissues that can support implant placement, and practice good oral hygiene with regular dental visits. Patients with periodontal disease, severe bone loss, or bone disorders may require additional procedures such as a bone graft or sinus augmentation before they can place dental implants successfully.
Â
Removable dentures rest on the gum tissue and may slip or require adhesives. Dental implants, however, act as an artificial tooth root, allowing the new artificial tooth or multiple teeth replacements to be securely attached to the implant. Full mouth dental implants or fewer implants can be used to restore your smile without impacting adjacent teeth or neighboring teeth.
Most dental implant surgeries are performed under local anesthesia, and patients typically report minimal discomfort. Like any surgical procedure, some swelling and soreness may occur around the implant site as the gums heal. Following aftercare instructions, such as eating soft foods and maintaining good oral hygiene, helps support implant success and long-term oral health.
Dental implants may be used to replace one missing tooth, several teeth, or even an entire arch of missing teeth with full mouth dental implants. A treatment plan will be customized for your needs—whether for a single tooth replacement or restoring multiple teeth with implant dentistry.
Â
With proper care, most dental implants can last many years or even a lifetime. Successful implants rely on maintaining good oral hygiene, attending regular dental visits, and avoiding risk factors such as poor oral hygiene or smoking, which can lead to implant failure.
Â
Dental implants offer stability, durability, and a natural feel that conventional dentures and other tooth replacements cannot always provide. Because implants are anchored into the bone in your jaw, they help preserve surrounding bone and soft tissues, prevent shifting of nearby teeth, and restore your ability to chew and speak with confidence—just like your own teeth.
