Implants

Dental implants are the gold standard for tooth replacement, offering a permanent and natural-looking solution. Unlike traditional bridges or dentures, implants are surgically placed into the jawbone, creating a strong foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function just like natural teeth. At Fitchburg Dental Associates, we are proud to provide dental implant services in Fitchburg, MA, helping patients restore their smiles and confidence.

Understanding Dental Implants

Dental implants act as artificial roots, typically made from titanium or ceramic, that integrate with the jawbone to support replacement teeth. These implants provide a durable and long-lasting solution for missing teeth.

Types of Dental Implants

• Endosteal Implants – The most common type, placed directly into the jawbone to support one or more artificial teeth.

• Subperiosteal Implants – Positioned on top of the jawbone with a metal framework supporting replacement teeth, ideal for patients with insufficient bone density.

Why Choose Dental Implants Over Dentures?

• Enhanced Chewing Ability – Unlike dentures that may slip, implants provide a stable and comfortable bite.

• Clearer Speech – Dentures can cause slurred speech, while implants allow natural and effortless communication.

• Long-Term Comfort – While dentures need adjustments over time, implants integrate with the jawbone for a secure and lasting fit.

• Better Oral Health – Implants allow easier cleaning, reducing the risk of gum disease and infections.

• Aesthetic Benefits – Custom crowns ensure that implants look just like your natural teeth.

• Prevention of Bone Loss – By mimicking natural tooth roots, implants help maintain jawbone structure and facial contours.

Is the Procedure Painful?

While dental implant surgery is a minor surgical procedure, most patients experience less discomfort than expected, often less than a tooth extraction. Over-the-counter pain relievers are usually sufficient to manage post-surgery discomfort, and most patients return to normal activities within a few days.
