Dental Implants Newton, MA

Overview

To replace a missing tooth or teeth with a long-lasting restoration, we are proud to perform implant dentistry for our patients in Newton, MA. Implant dentistry uses surgically placed metal posts in your jawbone to act like the root of the tooth. The post(s) may be connected to a denture, crown, or bridge for a beautiful restoration that can be cleaned like natural teeth. To fix a gap in your smile, make an appointment to get more information on implant dentistry at Newton Centre Dental. Dental implants may help if you don't want to deal with loose crowns or the hassle of removable dentures. Talk to us about what you would like and figure out if implant dentistry is a good option for you.

Best Candidates for Dental Implants

Implants can restore one or several lost teeth by connecting the implant to a crown, denture, or bridge. You may prefer implant dentistry if you have a removable or cemented dental restoration but don't like the appearance, fit, or if there's special cleaning needed. Dental implants can be treated just like your normal teeth with daily flossing and brushing. At your consultation, we will evaluate the health of your jawbone and gums to determine if you are a good candidate for dental implants. In some cases, a bone or gum graft surgery may be needed prior to implant surgery to strengthen your mouth. Dental implants may not be appropriate if you use tobacco products, are pregnant, or are being treated for another issue, such as periodontal disease.

What To Expect

To prepare for your dental implants, you may need a single or several teeth extractions, as well as gum and bone grafts. When you are ready for dental implant surgery, the needed areas will be given local anesthesia to numb your mouth. Other anesthesia or sedation may be used to relax you throughout the treatment. We will start by making a surgical incision in your gums so the post can be placed in your jawbone. The incision in the gums will be stitched closed with some of the dental implant above the gums. This will be repeated if several implants are required. While the dental implant integrates into the gums and jawbone over the following months, a temporary cover will be placed over the implants. As soon as your implant is healed and integrated with your bone and gums, your permanent restoration (denture, crown, or bridge) can be connected to your implant and adjusted for a comfortable fit.

Rosenberg Orthodontics is phenomenal! My daughter had a very tough mouth with root absorption, permanent teeth that were not coming down, and (the biggest issue) missing teeth. They (Dr. Edwards) gave her a beautiful smile!!! Thank you from the bottom of this mother's heart for helping her to smile! We love you!

Recovery

There may be some short-term inflammation in your mouth and lower face, plus discomfort, bruising, and minor bleeding after your implant procedure. We will talk to you about what is to be expected and what should be reported to our office. We may also give you a prescription for pain relievers and antibiotics. After your dental implants are integrated and your restoration is connected, you should develop a good oral care routine at home that includes daily brushing and flossing. You should schedule annual exams and bi-annual professional cleanings at Newton Centre Dental so we can evaluate the health of your mouth and implants. We will also discuss if your restorations or implants should be adjusted, repaired, or replaced.

Insurance Coverage

Based on your dental insurance company and personal coverage, part of the expenses of your implants and custom restoration might be paid for. We will talk to your dental insurance company to understand your coverage and determine your personal cost. At your initial consultation, we may estimate your expenses and discuss payment methods we accept, along with information on low-interest medical financing.
