The implant replaces the root of the missing tooth acting as a prosthetic root. The implant provides an anchor for your new tooth. Many patients choose dental implants over other procedures because the result is permanent and gives you a natural appearance.

dental implant Bala Cynwyd, PADental implants are tiny titanium anchors that are designed to act as implant tooth root substitutes. They are surgically placed into the jawbone. Once healed, the implant will be fused with the jaw bone for a lasting and stable oral foundation.

Small posts, called abutments, are then attached to the implants. These protrude through the gums, allowing a conventional crown to be attached to the implant. Dental implants provide stable anchors for artificial replacement teeth.

Dental implants are ideally placed directly into the site of the missing tooth.  Placing an implant in the extraction socket gives us the greatest potential to reclaim the natural esthetics of that tooth while ensuring the best stability of the jaw bone. The placement of an implant in the exact position of the tooth allows for predictable and natural looking results.

In most cases, the dental implant procedure involves at least two visits to ourBala Cynwyd, PA dentist office.

First, the implants are placed in your jawbone. For the first three to six months following surgery, the implants will heal beneath the surface of the gums gradually bonding with the jawbone. Dr. Weinstock will most likely fit you with a temporary bridge or denture during this time.

While your implants are healing or integrating, Dr. Weinstein will work with you to custom design and fabricate your permanent dental restoration. The final restoration is made from the most modern dental materials for natural and durable results. Ceramic restorations provide natural aesthetics that will blend seamlessly with your natural smile.  The entire procedure usually takes six to eight months. Most patients do not experience any disruption in their daily life.
