Dental implants are long-term investments in your health and can affect your oral health, daily functioning, and quality of life.
Missing teeth can affect more than your appearance. They can make it difficult to eat comfortably, speak clearly, and feel confident in your smile. At Oblinger Family Dentistry, we offer custom dental implants in Mount Holly to restore the function, health, and appearance of your smile with a long-lasting solution.
Whether you’ve lost a single tooth or several teeth, our experienced team will create a personalized treatment plan to help you smile with confidence again.
Dental implants are small titanium posts that are placed in the jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. As the implant heals, it naturally fuses with the bone, creating a stable foundation for a custom dental crown, bridge, or denture.
Because implants replace both the root and visible portion of a tooth, they look, feel, and function much like natural teeth. They also help stimulate the jawbone, reducing bone loss that commonly occurs after tooth loss.
Whether you’re coming in for preventive care or a more advanced procedure, you’ll find comprehensive dental services under one roof.
Our team provides care for patients of all ages, making it easy for your entire family to visit the same trusted dental office. We offer services including:
Having one practice for your family’s dental needs means fewer referrals, greater convenience, and continuity of care you can trust.
Here are three steps involved in getting dental implants
During this appointment, the dentist will examine your mouth, take x-rays, and discuss your treatment options. They will also review your medical history to ensure that you are a good candidate for dental implants.
The next step is to place the implant into the jawbone. This is typically done under local anesthesia or sedation to ensure your comfort. The implant is placed directly into the jawbone, where it will fuse with the bone over time.
Once the implant has fused with the jawbone, a replacement tooth or bridge is attached to the abutment. This replacement tooth will be custom-made to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth.
Most healthy adults with missing teeth are good candidates for dental implants. During your consultation, our team will evaluate your oral health, jawbone density, and overall dental needs to determine whether implants are the best option for you.
If additional treatment, such as bone grafting or tooth extraction, is recommended before implant placement, we’ll explain every step of the process and answer your questions so you can make an informed decision.
Choosing dental implants is an investment in your smile, so it’s important to work with a dental team you trust.

Care of the mouth following a surgical procedure is essential to the healing process. There will be a certain amount of swelling, discomfort, and bleeding which can be expected. In order to minimize these, you are advised to follow these instructions below.
If a prescription was given for an antibiotic, start it immediately following your surgery following the correct dosage. Always take your full dose of antibiotics prescribed. If a prescription was given for the pain, use as directed. The prescription should be filled promptly and taken exactly as directed before the local anesthesia wears off. Do not drive a car, operate machinery, or drink alcoholic beverages while taking prescribed pain medications. If a prescription was not given for pain, an over-the-counter medication (aspirin, Tylenol, Advil, etc.) can be taken as directed on the label. Do not take any medications on an empty stomach as it can cause nausea.

With good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, dental implants can last for many years. Many patients enjoy their implants for decades with proper care.
The implant is placed using local anesthesia to keep you comfortable during the procedure. Some mild soreness afterward is normal, but it can usually be managed with medication and typically improves within a few days.
The timeline varies depending on your individual treatment plan. After the implant is placed, it usually takes several months for it to fully integrate with the jawbone before the final restoration is attached.
