Wilkesboro Mini Dental Implants

Wilkesboro Mini dental implants is a dedicated dental clinic located at 1509 River St, Wilkesboro, NC 28697, focusing on the specialized field of mini dental implant dentistry. The practice is led by Dr. Stephen J. Wessels, DMD, who has been serving patients in Wilkes County since 1987. Dr. Wessels received his D.M.D. degree from the Medical College of Georgia in 1987, following his undergraduate studies in Pre-Dental studies/Chemistry at the University of Georgia. He is a member of the American Dental Association, the North Carolina Dental Society, and the Blue Ridge Dental Society. The clinic prides itself on offering the revolutionary benefits of mini dental implants, a less invasive and often more affordable alternative to traditional dental implants. Mini implants are approximately half the size of conventional implants, requiring less bone structure and typically eliminating the need for costly, painful, and time-consuming bone grafts. This smaller size also translates to less healing time, discomfort, and fewer office visits for patients. A key advantage highlighted by the clinic is the ability to achieve immediate results, as mini implants can often be loaded with crowns, bridges, and dentures right away. Wilkesboro Mini Dental Implants provides a comprehensive approach to tooth replacement, offering solutions for single missing teeth, multiple missing teeth, and full mouth restoration. Their services include using mini implants to anchor dentures, providing stability and comfort for patients. The entire process typically involves a consultation, X-rays, impressions, and then the placement of the mini implant(s) in a single treatment visit, often within 30 minutes for a single tooth. The practice emphasizes the non-surgical nature of the procedure, leading to minimal bleeding and generally no need for stitches. Patient testimonials frequently praise Dr. Wessels and his staff for their professionalism, kindness, and ability to alleviate dental fears. Patients report high satisfaction with the results, often highlighting the ease and painlessness of the procedure, and the significant improvement in their ability to eat, smile, and speak with confidence. The clinic also offers flexible financing options through partnerships with dental finance companies like Ally, Lending Club, and CareCredit, making treatment more accessible.
