Experience the Gold Standard in Tooth Replacement
Dental implants are often considered when a tooth cannot be saved, several teeth are missing, or removable dentures no longer provide the stability you need. Depending on your situation, they can support a single crown, a larger restoration, or a complete arch of replacement teeth.
Dental implants in Loris may be right for you if you:
- Have gaps that make chewing or speaking more difficult
- Have teeth that are severely cracked, decayed, or failing
- Want more stability than a removable denture provides
- Prefer a fixed replacement for one or more missing teeth
- Have healthy gums or can complete gum treatment first
- Have enough bone for implant placement or are eligible for bone grafting
- Are in good overall health and able to heal properly
- Want a long-term solution designed around comfort, function, and appearance
Legacy Prosthodontics will examine your teeth, gums, bite, jawbone, health history, and goals before recommending treatment. With more than 40 years of experience, advanced technology, and an on-site lab, our prosthodontists can plan and create anything from a single dental implant to a same-day, full-arch, or full-mouth restoration with close control over the fit and appearance.
Implant Options That Fit Your Smile Perfectly
Legacy Prosthodontics helps patients from Loris, Garden City, Georgetown, Conway, and surrounding Horry County communities find an implant solution suited to their specific tooth loss. Each restoration is planned to complement your bite, facial features, and remaining teeth while improving the way your smile looks and functions.
Same-Day Dental Implants
Want to restore your smile without the wait? With same-day dental implants, you’ll leave our office with new, fully functional teeth in just one visit, giving you back your bite and your confidence.
Full Arch Dental Implants
Full arch dental implants replace all the teeth in your upper or lower jaw using just a few secure implants. This provides long-lasting stability, allowing you to eat, smile, and speak naturally without the slipping or discomfort of traditional dentures.
Full Mouth Dental Implants
If you’re looking to completely renew your smile, our full-mouth dental implants replace every tooth for lasting strength and a natural appearance.
Mini Dental Implants
Mini dental implants offer a smaller, less invasive solution for patients who want a quicker recovery or have lower bone density. They stabilize dentures or replace smaller teeth, restoring bite strength and daily comfort.
All-On-4 & All-On-6 Dental Implants
With All-On-4 and All-On-6 dental implants, we create a complete, durable smile using fewer implant posts. These advanced techniques provide full-arch restoration with fewer procedures, faster healing, and a beautiful, natural look that lasts.

Understand the Differences Between Implant Treatments
The names of implant procedures can sound similar, but each serves a distinct purpose. Use this side-by-side guide to compare how the treatments differ in scope, support, and the type of tooth loss they are commonly used to address.
Choosing an implant treatment requires more than counting missing teeth. Your prosthodontist will study your bite, gum health, bone structure, and existing dental work to identify the approach that makes the most sense for your mouth.
Get Clear Answers About Coverage and Cost
Dental insurance does not apply to every implant case in the same way. Some plans may contribute toward preparatory care or the final restoration, so our team will help you understand where your benefits may apply and what expenses may remain.
Flexible financing is also available to help make your personalized treatment plan easier to budget. We will provide clear pricing upfront, so you know what to expect before care begins.
What Affects the Cost of Dental Implants?
No two smiles are exactly alike, so the cost of dental implants varies from person to person. Your total cost depends on the details of your care, including:
- How many implants you need
- The type of restoration (single, full arch, or full mouth)
- If you choose an All-On-4 or All-On-6 solution
- Any additional treatments like extractions or bone grafting
- The materials used for your implant posts and crowns
- Custom design and fabrication in our in-house lab
- Sedation or anesthesia preferences
We’ll provide a clear, personalized estimate during your free consultation.
The Path From Tooth Loss to a Restored Smile
Before replacing your teeth, we take time to understand what has been lost, what can be preserved, and what type of support your jaw can provide. That information shapes every stage of your care.
- Planning the Rebuild: Your prosthodontist evaluates the spaces, surrounding teeth, gum tissue, and bone to determine the safest route forward.
- Establishing Support: Implants are placed to create anchors for the restoration, with provisional teeth available in select cases.
- Delivering Your New Teeth: Following the healing period, the finished restoration is secured and adjusted to work naturally with your bite.
Recovery and completion times vary based on the number of implants and any supporting procedures involved. Throughout treatment, our team will track your progress and make changes when needed to protect the final result.

Honest Answers to Common Dental Implant Questions
Are dental implants permanent?
Yes, dental implants integrate securely with your jawbone, acting like natural tooth roots. With consistent brushing, flossing, and routine dental visits, they can last for many years.
How long does it take to recover after getting dental implants?
Most patients return to normal activities within a few days, though full healing happens gradually as the implant fuses with your bone. We’ll check in throughout your recovery to make sure everything is healing properly and you’re comfortable every step of the way.
Who is the ideal candidate for dental implants?
You may be a good candidate if you have healthy gums, good oral hygiene, and enough bone support for the implant. If bone loss has occurred, additional treatments like grafting can still make implants an option for you.
Are there any specific aftercare instructions?
Keep your implants clean with daily brushing and flossing, and schedule regular dental visits to maintain them. Avoid smoking and follow any specific care guidance we provide to preserve your results.
