Dental Implants

What to learn more about dental implants?

Dental implants are the ideal replacement for missing teeth. They replace the root of a missing tooth and hold a ceramic tooth that is made to match and blend perfectly with your surrounding natural teeth. This treatment option provides a restoration that looks, feels, functions and is as strong as your natural teeth.

What Types of Implants are Offered at Tewksbury Dental Associates?

Implants that replace individual teeth: These types of implants are analogous to the tooth that was lost. A single implant supports a single abutment and crown. In certain scenarios in the front of the mouth, these implants may be restored with a temporary crown on the same day of placement.

Implants that replace multiple teeth: There are many options for these types of implants, ranging from implant supported bridges, where multiple implants are connected by a bridge to fill multiple spaces, to implant retained dentures, where anywhere from two to six implants are used to help support and retain a removable denture. Likewise, in some scenarios, temporary restorations may be placed on multiple implants on the day of implant placement.

Why You Should Receive Dental Implants

What Do Our Patients Think?

They are more confident about their smiles
They don’t miss the discomfort or inconvenience of removable dentures or bridges
Their tooth-colored implants look just like their natural teeth
Talking, eating and maintaining good oral hygiene are easy because dental implants function exactly as natural teeth would
They get lots of compliments on their new, youthful look

Benefits of Dental Implants

With proper care, they are designed to last a lifetime
They help your remaining natural teeth maintain their proper position by preventing drifting
They can be used to anchor removable dentures or bridges to make them more comfortable and secure

Another advantage to dental implants over other restorative options is that they only affect the area in which they are placed; they don’t require use of neighboring healthy teeth for support, like bridges or partial dentures.

Dental Implant FAQ

A dental implant is a small post, usually made of titanium, that replaces the root of your missing tooth. An abutment that acts as a connector between the implant and your crown is placed on top of the implant. We custom fabricated your crown to match your natural teeth and then secure to the abutment to replace the missing tooth.

The cost, as well as the number of appointments required and procedures performed, will vary depending on your particular needs. We will conduct a comprehensive exam and evaluate the necessary diagnostics to best determine your needs and the associated fees. Our team will identify potential coverage in your dental benefits policy. We also offer great treatment financing options and a Dental Membership plan to help make your treatment affordable!

Dental implants are sophisticated dental devices that are placed with surgical precision to minimize complications, or implant failure. My team and I have the training and experience to plan and deliver an optimal dental implant treatment for you. We have the added benefit of a periodontal specialist, Dr.Epstein, in the office as well.

Every patient is different. We use digital technology to do a complete diagnostic evaluation. Your customized treatment plan will include the estimated amount of time to complete the process. Total treatment time will depend on your needs, medical and dental history, the health of the supporting bone in your jaw, and the technique and materials that will be used. It can be as short as a few months, or more than a year for a complex case.

Most patients say that there is very little discomfort involved in the procedure. Local anesthesia is used during the procedure, and most people report that implants involve less pain than a tooth extraction.

Unlike other tooth replacement options like dentures dental implants don’t slip or click when you talk, laugh or eat. Dental implants are designed to last a life time where a crown and bridge lasts 7-8 years. Our patients are thrilled to have a real tooth that allows them to eat favorite foods, improve their oral health and smile with complete confidence once again!
