Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. A titanium post is placed directly in the jawbone, where it bonds with bone tissue to create a stable, permanent anchor for a lifelike porcelain crown. At Magnolia Dental Arts, Dr. Traci Espinosa combines advanced CBCT imaging with precise treatment planning to deliver confident, long-lasting implant results for patients throughout Southport and Brunswick County.
Unlike bridges or dentures, dental implants preserve jawbone structure, maintain your natural bite, and look and feel exactly like real teeth. At Magnolia Dental Arts, Dr. Espinosa takes a comprehensive, technology-driven approach to every implant case, using 3D CBCT imaging to plan placement with precision and provide a restoration that is truly built to last a lifetime.
A single implant replaces one missing tooth from root to crown without affecting any surrounding healthy teeth. Dr. Espinosa uses CBCT imaging to ensure ideal positioning for long-term stability, function, and aesthetics.
A custom porcelain crown is placed over the implant post, creating a seamless, fully natural-looking restoration that functions exactly like your original tooth in every way.
For patients missing multiple teeth or an entire arch, full-arch implant solutions provide a fixed, permanent alternative to conventional removable dentures. Dr. Espinosa will explain every option clearly and help you find the right fit.
Bone grafting rebuilds lost jawbone volume to create a strong, stable foundation for implant placement. This procedure expands implant candidacy to patients who have experienced bone loss and may have been told implants are not possible for them.
