DENTAL IMPLANT

Dental Implants in Holden, MA

Dental implants are one of the most popular dental procedures today. They provide a permanent solution for missing teeth, allowing patients to regain their smiles and confidence.

Holden Family Dentistry offers several implant options for our patients in Holden, MA. Dental implants may be the right solution if you have a missing or failing tooth or multiple missing teeth.

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are tiny titanium rods placed in the jawbone to resemble a tooth root and serve as an artificial tooth’s foundation. The bone adheres to titanium, creating a solid base for prosthetic teeth. Once the implants are in place, your dentist will attach replacement teeth to posts. Implants are a more lasting solution for tooth loss than dental bridges or dentures, and they appear more natural.

Types of Dental Implants

We offer several types of dental implants at Holden Family Dentistry:

Dental Implants, Crowns, and Bridges

Dental implants can be used in combination with dental crowns and bridges. A single tooth implant is placed for each missing tooth, and then a dental crown or dental bridge is attached to the implants. This type of implant is ideal for patients missing one or multiple teeth.

Implant-Supported Dentures

Implant-supported dentures are dental implants used to support a complete or partial denture. This type of dental implant would be the best for patients missing all of their teeth or current denture patients who no longer want to deal with ill-fitting and loose dentures.

All-on-4 Implants

All-on-4 dental implants are a type of dental implant used to support an entire arch of dental implants. This implant is ideal for patients missing all of their teeth but may have suffered bone loss or other defects from periodontal disease. In addition, All-on-4 offers a full-mouth restoration option with only four implants (hence the name).

Who would benefit most from dental implants?

Most people who have lost teeth due to injury or disease are good candidates for implants. Good candidates for dental implants must have healthy gums and sufficient bone to support the implant, and they must also be committed to their oral hygiene and regular dental visits. If you are a smoker, you may still be a candidate for implants, but you will need to quit smoking before and during the implant procedure.

How much do dental implants cost?

The cost of dental implants varies from patient to patient. The number of implants, the complexity of the surgery, and the type of implants will all play a role in the total cost of this procedure.

Most dental insurance plans do not cover the full cost of dental implants, but financing options are available to make dental implants more affordable.

What to Expect During the Recovery Process

Dental implants integrate with your jawbone and need time to heal and fuse with the bone. You may experience some discomfort and swelling, but it should subside. The dental implant process usually takes several months. It is crucial to take proper care of your dental implants and follow your dentist’s instructions. Once the implants have healed, you will be able to eat, speak, and smile normally.

Caring for Your New Implants

Once your implants have been placed, it is essential to take care of them to ensure that they last for many years. You should continue good oral hygiene routines, including brushing, flossing, and rinsing with an antibacterial mouthwash. Visiting our dentist for routine checkups will also be on your to-do list to ensure the implant is working well.
