A dental implant can enhance your smile and restore missing teeth. This procedure is completed over two stages, spanning a few months. During the first phase a titanium root-form endosseous implant is placed, resembling a natural tooth root, within the jawbone. This implant undergoes a process called osseointegration, where it fuses with the bone, creating a stable foundation for the restoration. It can take a few months until the implant is secured enough to go into stage two. Once the implant has fully integrated, a dental prosthesis, such as a crown, implant-supported bridge, or denture, is attached to restore the appearance and functionality of your teeth. This procedure offers remarkable results that closely resemble the look and feel of natural teeth.
This procedure is generally done under local anesthesia, and mild swelling and discomfort are normal on the days following the implant placement. Dr. Leichter and his team will give you a detailed list of post-treatment instructions and post-treatment diet recommendations to ensure the fastest and best results possible

Bone grafting may be necessary if you have insufficient bone density to support dental implants. It helps restore and strengthen the jawbone, creating a solid foundation for successful implant placement.
How much is a dental implant?

Dental implants before and after – what should I expect?
It can significantly enhance your smile and restore your ability to eat and speak with confidence. Before the procedure, a thorough evaluation will be conducted to assess your oral health and determine the best treatment plan. After the implants are placed and fully healed, you can expect a natural-looking smile and improved oral function.
Are dental implants painful?
During the dental implant procedure, local anesthesia is used to ensure your comfort. After the procedure, some mild discomfort and swelling are normal, but this can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication. Our team will provide detailed post-operative instructions to help you manage any discomfort during the healing process.
Dental bridge vs Implant: Is there a difference?
While both dental bridges and implants are used to replace missing teeth, there are key differences between the two. Dental bridges rely on adjacent teeth for support, while implants are anchored directly into the jawbone. Implants offer a more stable and long-lasting solution, preserve bone structure, and do not require alteration of healthy teeth.
What should I expect during the dental implant healing stages?
The healing stages involve osseointegration, which is the process of the implant fusing with the bone. It typically takes several months for complete healing and integration to occur. During this time, you may be provided with a temporary restoration to maintain aesthetics and function. Our team will closely monitor your progress and guide the healing process.
Can I get full-mouth dental implants?
Yes, it is possible to get full-mouth dental implants. Also known as full arch dental implants or implant-supported full-mouth rehabilitation, are a comprehensive solution for individuals who have lost all or most of their teeth. This treatment involves the placement of multiple dental implants strategically throughout the jawbone to support a full set of fixed implant-supported dentures or bridges. This dental treatment can restore the appearance, function, and confidence associated with a complete set of teeth, providing a long-lasting and stable solution for those seeking to regain a beautiful smile and optimal oral health.
