Dental Implants
In Boston
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are small titanium posts that replace tooth roots. These posts bond solidly to the jawbone and are capped with natural-looking crowns. This procedure has made a tremendous difference in the lives of patients at Dental Partners of Boston. The procedure requires precise surgical techniques, quality components, and uncompromising patient care.

How Dental Implants Work
Dental implants work by integrating directly with the jawbone, creating a strong and stable foundation for replacement teeth. The process begins with the placement of a small titanium post into the jawbone, which acts as an artificial tooth root. Over time, the bone fuses with the post in a process called osseointegration, ensuring that the implant becomes a permanent part of the bone structure. This creates a secure anchor for a crown, bridge, or denture, providing the same level of support as natural teeth roots.
After the implant has fully integrated with the bone, an abutment is attached to the post, which serves as the connection point for the custom-made restoration. The final restoration, whether it’s a crown for a single tooth or a bridge for multiple teeth, is then secured to the abutment. This multi-step process ensures that dental implants function just like natural teeth, offering a seamless and reliable solution for tooth replacement.
Single-Tooth Dental Implant
Dental implants are the best and most innovative solution to missing teeth in modern dentistry. Every day, we see mouths healed and lives changed. They can fasten bridges and dentures in place, as well as serve as replacements for individual teeth. If you are missing a single tooth, we can use a single implant to give you a permanent replacement without damaging adjacent teeth.
Osseointegrated dental implants are particularly successful as a means of replacing your tooth. This implant is a small metal fixture affixed to your jawbone that can support one or multiple teeth. These implants use biocompatible materials so that your bone grows around them and between the ridges fusing them in place as strong as a natural tooth would, if not stronger.
Multiple Teeth Implants
If you need multiple teeth implants, much of the structure of the implants and the process behind them are the same as a single-tooth implant, with some small differences.
When you need multiple teeth implants, the primary difference lies in how the implants are placed and what type of restoration is used. Instead of placing individual implants for each missing tooth, your dentist might recommend an implant-supported bridge or denture. These solutions rely on fewer implant posts, strategically placed to support several teeth. For example, a bridge can be anchored by two implants but replace three or more teeth, making the process less invasive and more cost-effective than placing an individual implant for each tooth.
Additionally, the healing process may vary slightly depending on the number of implants and the location of the missing teeth. Recovery times may be longer, and you might need more follow-up visits to ensure proper healing. However, the long-term benefits of multiple implants, such as improved function, aesthetics, and jawbone preservation, remain consistent with single-tooth implants. Your dental team will guide you through each step, ensuring that your treatment plan is tailored to your specific needs.

Full Arch Replacement
As helpful as dentures can be for those suffering from tooth loss, they present challenges. Traditional dentures require a special cleaning regimen, can be uncomfortable to wear, are prone to slipping, and sometimes even fall out. However, a more stable, permanent alternative to traditional dentures is a full arch replacement that can return your smile to its youthful appearance and functionality. This is a more pragmatic and complete solution and a more permanent one. You will find that this is considerably better than dentures.
Teeth in a Day
Teeth in a Day is a procedure that allows patients to receive dental implants and replacement teeth in a single appointment. Unlike traditional implants, which require several months of healing before the final restoration is placed, Teeth in a Day utilizes advanced techniques to place temporary teeth immediately after implant surgery. This approach not only provides a faster solution but also helps patients regain function and confidence without waiting for months to get their permanent teeth.
The procedure is typically recommended for those needing full arch replacement, and the temporary teeth are designed to look and function like natural teeth. Once the implants have fully integrated with the jawbone, the temporary teeth are replaced with a permanent, custom-made set. Teeth in a Day offers a convenient and efficient solution for patients looking for immediate results.

Teeth In an Hour
Teeth in an Hour is a revolutionary procedure that allows patients to receive dental implants and a custom-fitted prosthetic in just one hour. Using advanced 3D imaging technology, your dentist at Dental Partners of Boston can precisely plan the implant placement beforehand, which reduces the time needed for surgery and minimizes discomfort. This pre-planning ensures that the implants are placed accurately and efficiently, allowing for a much faster treatment time compared to traditional methods.
The main advantage of Teeth in an Hour is its speed and convenience, making it an ideal option for patients seeking a quick, minimally invasive solution to replace missing teeth. Once the implants are placed, patients leave the office with a fully functional set of temporary teeth, with the permanent restoration to follow after healing.
Covering the Cost of Dental Implants
Dental implants are the optimal, permanent restoration technique for full upper or lower jaw replacement. With just a small number of implants, we can place a full denture to replace an entire row of teeth. Because of their stability, implant-supported dentures allow you to eat, drink, talk, and smile with complete confidence.
We know how important it is for you to have confidence in the cost of the procedure. That’s why we are happy to offer you payment options. We work in a close relationship with many dental insurers, and we are always happy to work out a payment plan with you. This ensures that you have complete confidence in every aspect of the implant procedure.
Peri-Implantitis and LAPIP
Peri-implantitis is a bacterial infection that can form around dental implants if not properly cared for. It is similar to gum disease which can affect a natural tooth and gum. LAPIP is how we treat peri-implantitis. After your implant placement, we provide you with information about how to care for your implants and what to watch for. We also schedule after-care appointments to check for any infections as you heal.
Dental implants are the gold standard when it comes to permanent tooth replacement. Our diverse and knowledgeable team creates a unique environment that allows us to provide complete, comprehensive treatment in every aspect of dental care.
