Dental Implants on Hilton Head, SC: Who Does Which Step
An implant comes in two parts: the post placed in the jaw and the crown, bridge or denture on top. On Hilton Head, an oral surgeon (Hilton Head Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Charleston Oral and Facial Surgery) or a periodontist (Lowcountry Periodontics) may place the post, and your own dentist restores it, though several of the dentists above describe doing both steps in their own office. Ask each office which steps it does.
Start with your regular dentist, who will either do the work or refer you. If you don’t have one yet, see the best dentists on Hilton Head Island.
All-on-4 and Implant-Supported Dentures on Hilton Head
Ocean Dental lists All-On-4 implants, Lowcountry Periodontics lists full-arch implants and bone grafting, and Charleston Oral and Facial Surgery’s website lists full-arch implants and implant-supported dentures. Rothwell lists implant overdentures, and Ocean, ROC, Rothwell and Hilton Head Dental make dentures. Ask each office who makes the teeth and who places the implants, because one office may do both.
About 39% of island residents are 65 or older (as of 2024), so full-arch work is a common question here. For dentures without implants, see the dentists page.
What Dental Implants Cost on Hilton Head
No practice here posts a price, because the total depends on the case: how many implants, whether a tooth comes out first, whether a bone graft is needed, a single crown versus a full arch, and whether the surgery and the crown are billed by one office or two. Ask each office for a written plan with every step listed.
Dental insurance often pays toward part of the work up to an annual maximum. If you have a Medicare Advantage plan, ask what its dental benefit covers. ROC Dental Group has a membership plan for patients without insurance.
Questions to Ask at an Implant Consultation
Ask who places the implant and who makes the tooth, what the timeline is from extraction to the final crown, whether a graft is likely, what sedation is offered and how follow-up visits work. If you live on the island only part of the year, say so up front and ask how many visits are needed and what can be done before you leave.
Plan a ride home after sedation. For a broken tooth or a lost crown that can’t wait, see emergency dentists on Hilton Head, and for anything beyond that, the hospital is beside the oral surgeons in Hospital Center Commons.
Dental Implants in Bluffton, Just Over the Bridge
Charleston Oral and Facial Surgery, Hilton Head Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery and Lowcountry Periodontics each have an office off the island too, and Lowcountry Periodontics has one in Hardeeville. See dental implants in Bluffton for the Bluffton offices and Sun City.
