Dr. Bottoms has advanced training in implant dentistry and offers a streamlined, patient-first experience that prioritizes precision, comfort, and long-term success.

If you’ve been searching for a dentist near me who offers lasting tooth replacement without bouncing between multiple providers, our practice makes the entire process seamless — all in one place.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are small titanium posts that act as artificial tooth roots. Once placed in the jawbone, they fuse with the bone and provide a stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures.

A complete dental implant includes:

• The Implant: A titanium post surgically placed in the jaw
  
• The Abutment: A connector piece between the implant and the restoration
  
• The Restoration: A crown, bridge, or denture that looks and functions like a natural tooth
  

Implants are designed to look, feel, and function like real teeth — with the added benefit of preventing bone loss and preserving facial structure.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

• Permanent and secure — no slipping or adhesives
  
• Preserve jawbone and facial volume
  
• Allow natural chewing and speaking
  
• Restore confidence and aesthetics
  
• Don’t affect neighboring teeth like bridges
  
• Low maintenance — just brush, floss, and visit your dentist
  

Whether you’re missing one tooth or many, implants offer the most natural, long-lasting way to restore your smile.

Our In-House Dental Implant Process

Dr. Bottoms provides a complete, in-house implant experience — from initial consultation to surgical placement and final restoration.

1. Consultation & 3D Imaging

We start with a comprehensive exam and advanced CBCT scans to assess bone health, sinus position, and implant site precision.

2. Personalized Treatment Plan

We design a custom plan based on your goals, oral health, and anatomy. We’ll review options like single implants, implant-supported bridges, or implant-retained dentures.

3. Surgical Placement

Dr. Bottoms performs the implant placement right here in our Winston-Salem office using guided surgery and minimally invasive techniques.

4. Healing & Integration

Over a few months, your implant fuses with the jawbone. We’ll monitor your progress and place a temporary if needed.

5. Final Restoration

Once healed, we attach a lifelike crown, bridge, or denture to complete your smile — fully restored in function and beauty.

• Single Tooth Implants – Ideal for replacing one missing tooth with a crown
