Get Your Smile Back with Dental Implants

December 13, 2014

New ImplantsDon’t let dentures or gaps in your teeth take away your confidence! Talk to Dr. Barganier, Dr. Zuffi, Dr. Williams, and Dr. McAdams about dental implants and get started on a path to reclaiming your smile! Carolina Complete Dental offers the best dental implant technology available and we love to help our Goose Creek patients regain their confidence with a beautiful, healthy mouth.

What are Dental Implants for?

The best way to explain dental implants is to describe exactly what they do. If you have a missing tooth, Dr. Barganier, Dr. Zuffi, Dr. Williams, and Dr. McAdams will put an implant in its place. This implant will take root in the jawbone (just a like a real tooth), protect the bone and integrity of your face, and function just as a real tooth would. Only you and Drs. Barganier, and Zuffi will know it’s an implant.
