What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are the closest thing modern dentistry can offer to a natural tooth. Each implant includes a titanium post placed in the jawbone, an abutment above the gumline, and a custom porcelain crown on top. The post fuses to surrounding bone over several months, creating a stable foundation that can last a lifetime. Unlike bridges or dentures, implants preserve jawbone structure and do not rely on neighboring teeth for support.

What Does Dental Implant Treatment Involve?

Treatment at Mt. Pleasant Modern Dentistry follows a clear process from consultation to final crown.


  1. Consultation and imaging: Dr. Alderman evaluates your teeth, gums, and bone using panoramic imaging to confirm candidacy.
  2. Bone grafting (if needed): Patients with bone loss may require grafting before placement, performed in-office with roughly 3-6 months of healing.
  3. Implant placement: The titanium post is placed under local anesthesia or sedation, then allowed to integrate with the jawbone over 3-6 months.
  4. Abutment and crown placement: Once fused, Dr. Alderman attaches the abutment and custom crown, completing your restoration in the same office.


Most patients return to regular activity the day after surgery. Total treatment time typically ranges from 4 to 12 months depending on healing and whether grafting is required.
