Dental implants at Midtown Dental offer permanent, natural-looking replacements for any number of missing teeth! Our experienced dentists understand that missing teeth can affect everything from chewing to confidence, but dental implants offer a long-lasting, comfortable, and secure solution. At Midtown Dental, we provide complete implant care, from planning to final restoration, using advanced imaging and precision-guided placement.
With more than 45 years of serving the Raleigh community, our team will always take time to clearly explain your treatment options and support the choice that feels right for you.
What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a small titanium or zirconia post that replaces the root of a missing tooth. Once the implant bonds naturally with the jawbone, it becomes a strong foundation for a custom dental crown, bridge, or denture.
Because implants replace the entire tooth structure, they look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Our restorative dentistry patients love dental implants for their many benefits, including:
- Stimulates and preserves the jawbone. Implants prevent bone loss, helping maintain facial structure and avoiding the “sunken” appearance that can develop after tooth loss.
- Exceptional stability. Eat, speak, and laugh confidently—no slipping, shifting, or adhesives needed.
- Protection of healthy teeth. Unlike bridges, implants don’t require the reduction of adjacent teeth.
- Long-term reliability. With proper care, implants can last a lifetime, making them a smart long-term investment.
- Natural appearance. Your final crown is custom-designed to match your natural teeth in size, shape, and color.
The Dental Implant Process
At Midtown Dental, we guide you through every step of the dental implant journey with care, precision, and personalized attention. Your treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation, during which we use advanced 3D CBCT imaging to evaluate your bone structure and plan the most precise implant placement. This allows us to create a customized treatment plan for your smile.
Next, the implant post is carefully placed into your jawbone under local anesthesia, ensuring your comfort throughout the procedure. Over the following weeks, a process called osseointegration occurs, during which the bone naturally fuses to the implant, creating a strong and stable foundation. Once your implant has fully healed, a custom abutment and crown are attached, completing your restoration with a natural-looking, fully functional tooth.
Are Dental Implants Right For You?
Dental implants may be an ideal solution if you are:
- Ready to replace one or more missing teeth

For our patients missing multiple teeth, we also offer implant-supported bridges and dentures, which provide exceptional stability and restore both function and confidence.
