Renew Your Smile, Restore Your Confidence
Dental implants may be a good option if missing, damaged, or failing teeth are making it difficult to eat comfortably, speak clearly, or feel confident in your smile. They can replace one tooth, several teeth, or a complete arch with restorations designed to feel secure and function naturally.
You may be a candidate for dental implants in Murrells Inlet if you:
- Have one or more missing teeth
- Have severely damaged or failing teeth that cannot be restored
- Are frustrated by loose, uncomfortable, or unstable dentures
- Want a fixed alternative to removable replacement teeth
- Have healthy gums or are willing to treat gum disease before implant placement
- Have enough jawbone to support implants or may qualify for bone grafting
- Are in generally good health and able to heal after treatment
- Want a long-term solution that restores both function and appearance
At Legacy Prosthodontics, we examine your teeth, gums, bite, jawbone, health history, and treatment goals before recommending care. From single-tooth dental implants to same-day and full-mouth options, your treatment is planned around the needs of your smile.
Tailored Implant Solutions for Your Unique Smile
Patients from Murrells Inlet, Garden City, Pawleys Island, Conway, and nearby Grand Strand communities can turn to Legacy Prosthodontics for personalized dental implant care. We offer several implant options and customize each restoration to fit your oral health, functional needs, and smile.
Same-Day Dental Implants
Want to restore your smile without the wait? With our same-day dental implants, we restore your missing teeth in a single appointment. You’ll leave with a natural-looking, fully functional smile the very same day.
Full Arch Dental Implants
If you’re missing most or all of your teeth on the upper or lower jaw, full arch dental implants provide a natural-looking, long-lasting solution. With just a few implant posts, we create a complete arch to restore your comfort, bite strength, and smile.
Full Mouth Dental Implants
For a more complete transformation, full mouth dental implants rebuild every tooth for a balanced, confident smile. You’ll enjoy restored function, comfort, and the freedom to eat, speak, and smile without hesitation.
Mini Dental Implants
For patients with low bone density or those seeking a minimally invasive procedure, mini dental implants deliver stunning results with a smaller design. They can stabilize dentures or replace smaller teeth, creating a smile you’ll love with minimal downtime.
All-On-4 & All-On-6 Dental Implants
Our All-On-4 and All-On-6 implants replace an entire arch of teeth using just a few strategically placed implants. With this advanced approach, we create a secure, natural-looking result with fewer procedures and faster healing.

Choosing the Right Dental Implant Treatment
No single implant approach works for every patient. Your prosthodontist will consider the condition of your teeth, gums, bite, and jawbone before recommending the treatment that can provide the best balance of comfort, stability, and appearance.
A detailed examination of your oral health and jawbone will help your prosthodontist identify the most appropriate treatment. Each plan is designed to restore a secure bite, comfortable function, and results that complement your smile.
Insurance and Financing for Dental Implants
Dental implant benefits vary based on your insurance plan, why treatment is needed, and the procedures included in your care. Our team can help review your coverage, explain which services may qualify, and estimate your remaining costs.
Legacy Prosthodontics also offers financing options that can spread treatment costs into more manageable payments. Before you begin, we will provide a clear estimate based on your personalized implant plan.
Your Guide to Understanding Dental Implant Costs
Your smile is completely unique, so the total restoration cost depends on your specific treatment plan. We’ll provide an upfront quote before any treatment begins, so you’ll know exactly what to expect.
Your treatment cost depends on:
- The number of implants being placed
- The type of restoration you need (single, full arch, or full mouth)
- Use of All-On-4 or All-On-6 implants
- Preparatory treatments like extractions or bone grafting
- The materials used for your implants and crowns
- Custom design and creation in our on-site dental lab
- Sedation or anesthesia for your procedure
Before, During, and After Your Implant Procedure
Your treatment starts with a complete evaluation of your teeth, gums, bite, bone support, medical history, and smile goals. These findings allow us to design a treatment plan and timeline specifically for you.
- Before Treatment: Imaging and careful planning help us determine where your implants should be placed and whether procedures such as bone grafting or tooth removal are necessary.
- During Treatment: Your dental implants are placed into the jawbone, and some patients may receive a temporary restoration the same day.
- After Treatment: We check your healing and implant stability before attaching your custom-designed final teeth.
Your exact experience will depend on the type of implant treatment you receive and how your body heals. Our team will stay involved throughout the process to support your comfort and progress.

Your Dental Implant Questions, Answered Simply
Are dental implants permanent?
Dental implants bond securely with your jawbone to last for many years. With consistent oral care and routine dental visits, they can provide a dependable solution for missing teeth.
How long does it take to recover after getting dental implants?
Most patients resume normal activities within just a few days after their procedure. Complete healing usually takes several months as the implant fuses with your bone.
Who is the ideal candidate for dental implants?
If you have healthy gums and sufficient bone structure, you’re likely a great candidate for dental implants. Even if you’ve experienced bone loss, grafting or mini implants can often make restoration possible.
Are there any specific aftercare instructions?
Daily brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings can keep your implants strong and healthy long-term. It’s also important to avoid smoking and follow your dentist’s personalized care recommendations for proper healing.
