It’s tough to enjoy life to the fullest when your oral health is in decline. Whether you’re heading to work over the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge, catching a flight out of Charleston International Airport, or taking in the sights and sounds of Charleston City Market, you want to be pain-free, ready to enjoy snacks and meals, and feel confident flashing a friendly smile.
High-quality dental implants may be exactly the oral health solution you need. Getting Full Mouth Dental Implants is a major decision and often one of the biggest investments our patients ever make. The world-class surgeons and support staff at Doctors Implants are ready to support you every step of the way. Let’s take a closer look at what the dental implant process looks like at Doctors Implants.
Who Is This For?
If you are someone who is frustrated with the hamster wheel of old school dentistry, someone who has been told they aren’t a candidate for dental implants due to lack of bone in your jaw, someone whose medical conditions have caused your natural teeth to fail, or someone that has been avoiding the dentist due to past trauma, the 6-Hour Smile at Doctors Implants may be right for you.
- Patients with dental problems–root canals, crowns, missing teeth or gum disease.
- Patients with systemic diseases–autoimmune disorders, medications, or pregnancy that cause failing teeth.
- Patients with systemic problems–cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorder, Alzheimer’s disease.
- Patients with dental anxiety–anxiety caused from poor dental experiences or procedures in the past.

Cutting-edge technology combined with ample experience in dental implant placement makes for quick, research-informed processes and successful patient outcomes in even the most complex of cases. A dedicated helpmate (treatment coordinator) sees each patient through their entire dental implant procedure, including financial planning.
