Dental Implants Cambridge

What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant post is an artificial tooth root made of titanium. Because titanium is the most biocompatible of all metals, the post will fuse naturally with the bone. This creates a long-lasting and strong foundation for your replacement teeth. After implant placement and sufficient healing time, we will fasten a natural-looking prosthetic tooth to restore the function of your bite. Our team works with you to create the best tooth replacement for you, matching the shape and color of neighboring teeth.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Our top priority is to provide reliable and proven solutions to promote a lifetime of oral health. Dental implants are a preferred treatment for replacing missing teeth because of their durability and ease of care. With dental implants in Cambridge, patients can:

• Return the beauty of a smile

• Alleviate joint pain and bite issues
• Fix speech problems

Regardless of the state of your current oral health or the reasons you want dental implants, our team will help you find an affordable solution.

Experienced Gum Disease Treatment

If we detect gum disease during your initial assessment, we will recommend you undergo treatment before receiving dental implants. We offer scaling and root planing to help restore the health of your gums. By removing tartar from above and below your gumline and then smoothing the surface of your teeth to promote gum regeneration, our team helps create a healthy foundation for placing your implants. After successfully treating your gums, our Cambridge implant dentist will reassess your oral health and determine your eligibility.

Dental Implant Restorations to Fit Your Needs

After your dental implants have been surgically placed, your replacement teeth are created based upon situation. Our team will then carefully and precisely attach them, taking the time to ensure proper fit, function, and comfort. We offer a variety of implant-supported restorations, including:

• Crowns
• Bridges
• Dentures
• All-on-4®

Whether you have one tooth missing or an entire arch, we have the solution you need to smile confidently.

Precise Imaging for a Better Fit and Feel

We utilize digital scanning in our dental office, which is highly detailed and accurate. It has the advantage of not requiring those goopy impressions of the olden days! We can use our Medit scanner to take impressions for crowns, nightguards, retainers, and more! One of the most exciting developments in modern dentistry is the use of digital impressions.

Using specialized intraoral scanners, our experienced team can capture detailed and accurate digital impressions of your teeth and gums. These scans provide us with high-resolution images that we can use to create 3D models of your teeth, which we can then use to design and fabricate custom dental restorations.

Digital impressions offer many benefits for our dental implant patients. They are faster, more comfortable, and less messy than traditional impression materials, which can be especially important for patients who have a sensitive gag reflex. Additionally, digital impressions provide greater accuracy and precision, resulting in better-fitting restorations and improved oral health outcomes.

At our practice, we are committed to staying at the forefront of modern dentistry by investing in the latest technology and training our team in the most advanced techniques. We believe that digital impressions are just one of the many ways we can provide our patients with the best possible care and outcomes.

We invite you to schedule an appointment with us today to learn more about how we can use digital impressions for dental implants to help you achieve a healthy, beautiful smile.

What to Expect When Receiving Dental Implants in Cambridge

We will begin your visit by thoroughly assessing the health of your smile to determine if dental implants are the right solution for you. Dr. Todd and our team focus on making sure you understand the entire process, and we will walk with you every step of the way.

Using the latest X-ray technologies, including dental cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), we will take digital impressions of your teeth, gums, and jawbone. We then ensure you have the proper bone density to support dental implants. Should you need a bone graft, sinus lift, or an extraction, our dentist is well-equipped and experienced to handle any of these issues with precision. Once your implants have been placed and you have healed, we will affix your new restoration to the implant. Depending on the extent of the work done, healing usually takes between eight and twelve weeks. Our team is here for you throughout the entire process and will schedule regular visits following surgery to ensure health and function.
