Do I Need Dental Implants
Do you have missing teeth? While good oral hygiene can help maintain a natural smile, sometimes teeth can't withstand everyday wear and tear. Tooth loss can be caused by various factors such as trauma, illness, stress, age, decay, or just bad luck.
Regardless of the cause, the solution is the same: rebuilding a healthy smile. Tooth implants can help restore your oral health and rejuvenate your smile if you have lost a tooth or teeth.
Dental Implants Are Often the Best Solution for Tooth Loss Because They
- Avoid Looking Artificial: It is important to avoid having a replacement tooth that appears fake, as this could attract unwanted attention to your smile. Dental implants are designed to blend in seamlessly with your natural teeth, ensuring a more natural-looking smile.
- Please do not cause harm: Finding a replacement for your missing tooth (or teeth) should be comfortable in your mouth, allowing you to eat your favorite foods without causing irritation to your gums or neighboring teeth. Dental implants are a painless, long-lasting solution once fully healed!
- Are Easy To Take Care Of: Dental implants are easy to care for because they are permanent. There is no need for slipping dentures or removable bridges. You can maintain your dental implants just like your natural teeth, with regular brushing and flossing.
- Ensure Your Oral Health: Bulky dental appliances may lead to bone loss and gum irritation, increasing the likelihood of periodontal disease and tooth decay. Dental implants seamlessly blend with your natural smile, safeguarding your jaw and gums.
- Can Last A Lifetime: Your dental implants are designed to last a lifetime, making them the most durable tooth replacement option available.
How Do Dental Implants Work
Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically placed in the jaw to serve as artificial tooth roots, securing a new tooth, bridge, or denture in place permanently. Each implant is fitted with a dental crown to provide a chewing surface and restore the look of a missing tooth. Experience the best in modern tooth restoration!

The implant will function just like your natural tooth, allowing you to speak, eat, and smile without any limitations.
Implant Retained Dentures
Implant retained dentures, also known as "overdentures," can greatly improve the quality of life for many patients. Tooth loss can lead to difficulties with everyday activities such as chewing and speaking. At our dental office in Cambridge, MA, patients can experience relief from the discomfort and inconvenience of traditional dentures with these removable "snap-in" dentures that are secured in place with dental implants.

Hybrid Implant Dentures
Hybrid implant dentures offer a cutting-edge option for individuals seeking to replace entire rows of teeth. This restorative dental treatment involves dentures that are securely attached to dental implants. If you are experiencing discomfort from your current dentures slipping and causing gum irritation, hybrid implant dentures may be the perfect solution for you.
How Do I Prepare for My Dental Implants Treatment
At times, patients may need initial procedures to get their mouths ready for dental implants. Following a consultation, Dr. Khang may decide that you need one of the following procedures before getting your dental implants:
- Bone Graft
- Gum Graft
- Socket Preservation
How Much Do Dental Implants Cost
Our response to inquiries about the cost of dental implants is always the same - it varies. Similar to any surgical procedure, there are several factors that can impact the cost of dental implants. For an accurate estimate, we recommend scheduling a consultation with our Cambridge, MA dentists. Some considerations to keep in mind include:
- The quality, quantity, and placement of bone are factors that can affect the cost of your implants, especially if bone grafting is needed.
- The message will be about the quantity of teeth requiring replacement and the specific dental implant to be utilized.
- Dental insurance. Some insurance plans cover only parts of implant treatment. Others have a waiting period for eligibility.
If you have concerns about the cost of dental implants, contact our Cambridge, MA dental practice to arrange a complimentary consultation. During this consultation, we will take the time to understand your oral health goals and financial situation, and provide you with detailed information about dental implants. Whether you are working within a budget, have a fixed income, or are unsure about your dental insurance coverage for implants, we offer a range of financing options to accommodate your needs.
Dental Implant Restoration
Rarely, issues may arise with dental implants. If you observe any signs such as loosening of the implant, swelling of the gum, or cracking of the crown, please contact Prospect Dental Group immediately. It is important to seek professional help as dental implants cannot heal on their own, and attempting to address the issue at home may lead to further damage.
