Having a missing tooth can have severe effects on the health of your teeth and your confidence in your smile. When losing an adult tooth, many seem to panic and wonder if their smile will ever be complete again. At Beacon Dental Group, we offer our patients restorative and cosmetic dental procedure dental implants in Boston, Massachusetts. Dental implants are a great way to restore your smile that will last you a lifetime. Please give us a call to set up a consultation now!
Generally, a dental implant is made of two main parts, the implant itself and the tooth restoration that will be securely attached, giving you a new tooth. We will complete the different parts of a dental implant separately as your mouth needs time to heal between the different appliances. That is why implant placement is so important.
Dental implants are a permanent restoration for your smile; the implant makes them permanent and secure. The implant is a small titanium post that we surgically place into the area of the jaw bone where the tooth is missing. This tiny post will act as your new tooth’s tooth root, providing stability. The tissue in your mouth will heal around the post, securing it in place.
We recommend dental implants to maintain the health of your jaw bone and surrounding tissues where your tooth was lost. When we chew, our roots stimulate the bone to keep it healthy; without stimulation, your bone and tissues can deteriorate. Not only is an implant an excellent cosmetic option to improve your smile, but it also keeps your mouth healthy and strong.
We can use implants to support many dental restorations along with a single tooth, such as a dental bridge or dentures.
A custom-made artificial tooth crown will be made to attach to the implant for a single-tooth dental implant securely. Each restoration will completely resemble your natural tooth’s size and shape. Once we place it into your mouth, no one will be able to tell that it is an artificial tooth—not even yourself!
Restorations are made out of porcelain material, making them resistant to decay, durable, and give off the appearance of a natural tooth due to its glossy sheen. The porcelain material is also stain-resistant, which means the white shade of the tooth we go with will last you for many years.
The dental implant procedure is a surgical procedure. We offer many different sedation options to help make you more comfortable. During a consultation with the dentist, we will discuss what will work best for you. Before we even begin the process, you will know how to prepare for the surgery, recover, the different benefits, and the costs of every part of the process.
Dental implants and restorations are permanent and if taken care of well, will only need minor attention at the dentist.
They are made to completely match your smile in every way possible. No one will notice it’s an artificial tooth.
Replacing your missing tooth or teeth will bring your confidence and smile back, increasing your quality of life.
