Dental ImplantsAn Overview

Dental implants are the most trusted and proven solution to replace missing and damaged teeth. With an extremely high success rate, around 98%, most dentists will recommend them to their patients. When compared to traditional dental restorations, teeth implants are a more natural and life-like solution. They will look, feel and function just like natural teeth. Not only do they help patients regain confidence and freedom, but they are also the better option for your overall and oral health. As a permanent and durable treatment option for missing teeth, dental implants support bone regeneration, healthy gums, and have no eating restrictions allowing for a healthy diet.

Sudbury Dental Arts offers dental implants to patients from Maynard, MA and partners with APEX Dental to perform every phase of the implant process. This guarantees that your entire treatment plan is streamlined for predictable results and no separate appointments with a specialist are needed. Our friendly and informative dental staff will help you with scheduling, payments and dental insurance.

Replace Teeth With Dental Implants

A dental implant is a bio-compatible titanium post that looks like a screw. It is surgically implanted in the jawbone and will act as an anchor for the replacement teeth or dental crown. Sudbury Dental Arts places all types of dental implants at their Maynard, MA area dental practice for the replacement of one or more missing teeth.

The Dental Implant Process

The implant secured restoration process will take some time to complete. Typically, we can replace your teeth in about three to nine months but there are many things that could extend this time frame. The process will begin with a consultation (to make sure you qualify for dental implants) and the creation of a treatment plan.

Some patients may need to undergo treatments to correct a dental problem before moving on to the surgical implantation. The purpose here is to create an environment that is healthy so that your implants can properly heal. Patients who do not have enough bone structure may need a bone graft to ensure there is enough bone to support the implants. Some patients may find out they have gum disease and will treatment first.

The implant procedure is minimally invasive with easy recovery that should take about three to six months. The metal implants posts will be surgically placed into the jaw bone. It typically takes about an hour to place a single implant. If you are getting multiple implants, it will take longer depending how many implants are being placed. During the three to six months, the implants will fuse with the surrounding jaw bone created a stable base for the dental restoration.

Once you are healed, the dental implant will be capped with an abutment. The abutment is a small piece that connects the dental restoration to the implant. Your gums may need a few weeks to heal after this is placed.

Impressions will be taken and used to fabricate your dental restoration. When ready, you will return to our Maynard, MA area dentist office for your final appointment where your dentist will attach your new restoration to the implants. We will check for color and fit and will make any minor adjustments if necessary.
