Missing teeth can affect more than just your appearance—they can also impact how you eat, speak, and maintain your oral health. While options like bridges and dentures have been used for years, dental implants have become the gold standard for permanent tooth replacement. At BENE Dental in Norwell, MA, we specialize in providing implants that look, feel, and function just like natural teeth, helping patients restore confidence and long-term oral health.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are small, biocompatible titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. Once healed, they serve as a stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or even full-arch dentures. Unlike traditional restorations that sit on top of the gums, implants integrate directly with the bone, making them the most durable and natural-feeling option available.
The Dental Implant Process at BENE Dental
Every patient’s journey begins with a thorough consultation. At BENE Dental, we use advanced imaging and personalized treatment planning to ensure the best outcomes. Here’s what you can expect:
-
Initial Consultation & Planning – We evaluate your oral health, review X-rays, and determine if you’re a good candidate for implants. In some cases, bone grafting may be recommended to strengthen the jaw.
-
Implant Placement – The titanium post is carefully inserted into the jawbone under local anesthesia, with sedation available for maximum comfort.
-
Healing & Osseointegration – Over the next 3–6 months, the implant fuses with the bone in a process called osseointegration, creating a solid foundation.
-
Abutment Placement – Once healed, a small connector (abutment) is attached to the implant to support the final restoration.
-
Custom Crown Placement – A natural-looking, custom-made crown is placed, designed to match the color, shape, and size of your surrounding teeth.
This multi-step process results in a strong, permanent solution that can last a lifetime with proper care.
Recovery and Comfort
Most patients are pleasantly surprised at how comfortable the implant process is. Mild swelling or soreness may occur for a few days after surgery, but this is easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Our team provides clear aftercare instructions to ensure smooth healing.
By following good oral hygiene habits—brushing, flossing, and regular checkups—dental implants can last for decades, often a lifetime.
