Dental Implants for Missing Teeth: Are They Right for You?
Dental implant technology can do wonders for your smile, regardless of the number of teeth you’ve lost! With implants, Drs. Arvi & Adelina Duka can restore your smile’s strength, health, functionality, and beauty for life! You can explore your options for implants at Framingham Family Dental Care in Framingham, Massachusetts. We answer your questions about implants here to help you decide if they’re a good choice for you.
What are dental implants, and how do they work?
Dental implants are small titanium posts that function as artificial tooth roots. They’re used to replace the roots of natural teeth that have gone missing over the years. Dr. Duka and the team will surgically place the implants in your jawbone, where they will eventually fuse with the surrounding bone tissue to become a permanent part of your jaw. After they heal, the implants will be used to support new teeth to replace the ones you lost.
How many teeth can be replaced with dental implants?
Dr. Duka and our team can replace as many teeth as you need, whether it’s one or two to all your teeth, if necessary. Implant restorations come in the form of dental crowns, fixed bridges, and implant dentures to suit all needs. With all-on-4 implant treatment, you can replace an entire arch of upper or lower teeth with as few as four implants. We’ll discuss implant placement and options with you during the planning phase of your treatment.
Is implant surgery safe?
Absolutely! Dental implants have been around for years, and technology has advanced rapidly. With a 95% success rate, implants are viewed as one of the most reliable ways to replace lost teeth, especially when you work with a skilled implant dentist for your procedure. Implant surgery is painless as it’s done using local anesthesia, with sedation being an option for anxious patients.

How long do implants last?
Titanium implants can last for life, with proper care. Implant crowns, bridges, and dentures can last 15 to 20 years. Implant teeth don’t require special care. They’re brushed and flossed and professionally cleaned by your dentist, just like natural teeth. Although implant restorations don’t decay, good oral hygiene will protect the gum tissues supporting your implants to keep your smile going strong for years.
What are some of the benefits of dental implants?
Implants replace lost teeth and their roots to restore the natural structure of your smile. Your restorations will be custom-crafted from high-grade porcelain or acrylic materials for a realistic, pleasing appearance. Implant teeth are anchored by artificial tooth roots to keep your smile stable and secure. You can eat, laugh, talk, and smile without fear of your teeth coming loose. Implants increase your chewing power, prevent bone loss, stop dental drift to preserve your bite, and promote a stronger, healthier, more functional smile.
