Irmo, SC Dental Implant FAQ – Affordable, Skilled Implant Dentist Serving the Irmo, Columbia, Lexington, Chapin and Harbison Areas

If you’re missing one or more teeth, Mark Pelletier, D.D.S., of Irmo can use dental implants to help restore your flawless smile. A dental implant consists of a small piece of metal which is surgically implanted in the jawbone, essentially forming a replacement for the root of a tooth. As the tissue heals over the next two to six months, the bone around the implant fuses to the implant, creating a perfectly stable structure.

After the patient has healed, Dr. Pelletier uses the implant to anchor crowns, bridges, or dentures - recreating your perfect smile.
