Dental Implants – Restore Your Smile
If you’re tired of missing teeth from your smile and would like a permanent, natural looking solution, then dental implants may be the solution for you.
Not only can these implants restore your smile, but they also include minimal downtime after the procedure. Most people can return to normal activities just days after getting their implants.
Our dental implant specialist, Dr. Daniel Sabra has performed thousands of procedures for Boston residents.
Do not hesitate to contact our office, located in the Back Bay neighborhood, if you would like more information or would like to schedule a consultation about this procedure.
What Are Dental Implants ?
Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. The implant acts like a natural tooth root, providing support for a crown, bridge, or denture. These are a permanent solution for missing teeth and can improve your smile, chewing function, and speech clarity.
Here are the steps involved in the dental implant procedure:
- 1. Our oral surgeon will make an incision in your gum tissue and make space for the implant.
- 2. The implant will be inserted into the hole and secured in place.
- 3. The gum tissue will be sutured closed.
- 4. It will take several months for the implant to osseointegrate, or fuse with the jawbone.
- 5. Once the implant is osseointegrated, a crown, bridge, or denture can be attached to it.
Dental implants are a safe and effective way to replace missing teeth. However, like any surgery, there are some risks associated with dental implant surgery. These risks include:
Infection
Bleeding
Bone loss
Nerve damage
Delayed healing

Dental Implant Types
There are many different types of dental implants available, but at our practice, Dental Implants and Periodontics of Boston, we offer implants to replace an individual tooth, immediate loading implants or a full-arch restoration.
Immediate loading implants
These implants are placed and restored with a crown or bridge immediately after surgery. This can be a good option for people who want to get their teeth back as soon as possible.
Full Arch Restoration
A full arch restoration replaces all of the teeth in one arch, such as the upper or lower jaw. It involves placing multiple implants in strategic locations in the jawbone, which supports a full set of teeth.
The best type of dental implant for you will depend on your individual needs and circumstances. Our Boston dental implant specialist can help you decide which implant is right for you.
Here are some factors to consider when choosing a dental implant:
The number of missing teeth
The amount of bone available in your jaw
Your overall health
Your budget
Dental implants are very successful if there’s enough bone to support the implant. During your consultation, our periodontist will let you know if there’s a bone deficiency and may recommend a dental bone graft before installing implants.
It is important to choose a practitioner who is experienced in placing dental implants. They will be able to assess your needs and recommend the best type of implant for you.
Dental implants are a long-term investment that can improve your smile and oral health. With proper care, they can last for many years.
How Much Do Dental Implants Cost ?
The cost of dental implants varies depending on a number of factors, including the type of implant, the number of implants needed, and the location of the implants.
Here are some of the factors that can affect the cost of dental implants:
The type of implant
The type of implant will affect the cost. Endosteal implants are the most common type and are also the most expensive. Subperiosteal implants are less expensive, but they are not as common. Zygomatic implants are the most expensive type of implant and are used to replace missing upper teeth in people who do not have enough bone in the upper jaw.
The number of implants
The more implants you need, the higher the cost will be.
The location of the implants
The location of the implants will also affect the cost. Implants in the front of the mouth are more expensive than implants in the back of the mouth.
Dental implants are a long-term investment that can improve your smile and oral health. With proper care, they can last for many years. You should also ask about financing options if you are unable to pay for the implants upfront.
