Losing a tooth can impact more than just your appearance—it can affect your ability to eat, speak, and maintain overall oral health. At Watertown Dentistry, we specialize in dental implants, a modern and effective solution to restore missing teeth with results that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. Our experienced team, led by Dr. Ray Hanna, is dedicated to providing personalized implant care that helps you regain your smile and confidence.
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants integrate with your bone through a process called osseointegration, providing a stable and permanent foundation for replacement teeth. This stability allows you to eat your favorite foods without worry and prevents the bone loss that often accompanies missing teeth.
The implant process begins with a comprehensive evaluation, including digital imaging to assess bone density and oral health. This step ensures that implants are the right choice for you and allows us to develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs. For patients with insufficient bone, we offer bone grafting procedures to prepare the site for implant placement.
Once the implant is placed, a healing period of several months allows the post to fuse securely with the jawbone. During this time, we provide temporary restorations to maintain aesthetics and function. After healing, a custom-made crown is attached to the implant, designed to match your natural teeth in color, shape, and size.
Dental implants can replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or even support full-arch restorations, offering flexibility for various dental situations. Patients often report improved chewing ability, clearer speech, and enhanced self-esteem after receiving implants. Because implants are cared for like natural teeth—with regular brushing, flossing, and dental visits—they can last a lifetime with proper maintenance.
At Watertown Dentistry, patient comfort is a priority throughout the implant journey. We use advanced technology and sedation options to minimize discomfort and ensure a smooth, positive experience. Our team provides detailed instructions and ongoing support to help you maintain your new smile.
