Your Custom Dental Implant Options

Dental implants are made up of three components—post, abutment, and restoration—that mimic the function of natural teeth. Secured in your jawbone, dental implants are one of the most versatile tooth replacements available. Dental implants can support a single dental crown or a dental bridge to replace one or more missing teeth in a row. They can also be used to increase the stability of a modified denture, which snaps securely to the implants placed in the jawbone.

For patients with many or all missing teeth, dental implants can permanently support a full, fixed bridge of artificial teeth. Our state-of-the-art All-On-X solution makes it possible to eat any type of food with life-like, strong teeth. In all cases, dental implants improve your ability to eat comfortably, feel confident in a complete smile, and live an overall healthier and better quality of life.

Our Dental Implant Treatment Process

Your dental implant treatment at Stuparich & Nouel Dental Associates is personalized to your specific oral health needs and smile goals. You’ll first complete a consultation with our prosthodontists in Boston, MA, where we’ll discuss your dental and medical history, take digital x-rays, and create a custom treatment plan. Next, you’ll undergo surgery, which may involve tooth extractions and bone grafting along with dental implant placement.

You’ll be resting comfortably under sedation and remain pain-free during your surgery. As prosthetic specialists, we can custom craft provisionals and print them using CEREC technology right in our office. In many cases, we’re able to attach a high-quality temporary tooth or set of teeth at this same appointment. As your mouth heals over the next three or more months, you’ll be able to eat comfortably and enjoy restored smile aesthetics until you receive your permanent, custom-made dental implant restoration.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

Dental implants provide numerous advantages over other tooth replacement options. Unlike dental bridges, dental implants do not require healthy teeth to be present to support the restoration. Dental implants only need proper jawbone density to remain secure and strong, where they will in turn provide stimulation to keep the bone healthy. 

Unlike dentures, dental implants are permanently secured in your jawbone and act like artificial tooth roots (implant posts). They are permanently fixed and stable enough to restore over 99% of natural biting and chewing power. For this reason, implants are one of the preferred solutions and virtually all patients who come to Stuparich & Nouel Dental Associates are candidates for dental implants.

The Lasting Benefits of Dental Implants

Making Dental Implants Affordable

Along with lasting, life-changing advantages, dental implants also come with a higher initial cost than traditional alternatives. But as the closest thing to natural teeth, the higher cost of dental implants is immediately matched by the dramatic improvements to your self-esteem, oral health, and systemic health. This boost in the quality of your life cannot be understated. 

We recognize these transformative effects, which is why we do everything we can to make your dental implant treatment in our Boston, MA implant practice affordable. We’ll connect you with leading financing companies that can break your payment down into manageable monthly payments. We’ll make receiving dental implants from experienced prosthodontists in Boston, MA affordable! Don’t wait to find out how.

A dental implant is a small, titanium post that serves as a replacement for a missing tooth root. It’s surgically placed into the jawbone, where it integrates with the bone over time through a process called osseointegration. Once the implant has fully integrated with the bone, a crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the implant to complete the restoration.

Dental implants are designed to look and function like natural teeth, providing a durable and stable foundation for replacement teeth, improving both aesthetics and function. They are often used as a long-term solution for missing teeth and can help preserve jawbone density and oral health.

An implant dentist is a dental professional who specializes in the placement and restoration of dental implants. Dental implants are artificial tooth roots, typically made of titanium, that are surgically inserted into the jawbone to support replacement teeth or bridges.

Implant dentists can be general dentists with specialized training in implant dentistry or oral surgeons, periodontists, or prosthodontists who focus on specific aspects of implant procedures.

Dental implants are essential because they restore the function of missing teeth, allowing normal chewing and speaking, while also preserving jawbone structure and enhancing appearance with a natural look and feel.

They are durable and long-lasting, provide comfort by staying fixed in place, and prevent adjacent teeth from shifting. Additionally, implants don’t require alteration of neighboring teeth, making them a superior option for maintaining oral health and function.

To be a dental implant candidate means that you meet the essential criteria for receiving implants successfully. This involves having adequate bone density and volume in your jaw to support the implants, maintaining good oral health with healthy gums, and being in overall good general health.

A commitment to excellent oral hygiene is crucial to prevent complications, and non-smokers are generally preferred, as smoking can hinder the healing process. Additionally, having realistic expectations about the procedure and its outcomes is important. A thorough assessment by a dental professional will help determine if you’re a suitable candidate for dental implants.

Dental insurance coverage for dental implants can vary, but in many cases, implants are not entirely or only partially covered, as they are often considered cosmetic or elective procedures. Some plans may cover certain parts of the treatment, such as consultations, extractions, or the crown that goes on the implant, though the implant placement itself might not be included. Some insurance plans may provide partial coverage as a treatment if implants are required due to medical necessity, such as tooth loss from injury or severe decay.
