Dental Implants In Harvard, MA
When it comes to replacing missing teeth, dental implants stand out as one of the most durable solutions. At White Arch Dental, we offer different types of dental implants in Harvard, MA, to replace your missing teeth with a natural-looking, fixed restoration. Our qualified dentist, Dr. Dhariwala, creates a unique treatment plan to not only restore your smile but also improve your overall oral health and function.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants offer many long-term benefits for replacing missing teeth, which include:
- Natural appearance: They replace both the root and visible crown of the tooth, offering a life-like appearance and natural feel.
- Exceptional durability: With proper care, implant posts can provide stability and retention for many years.
- Improved functions: Unlike removable restorations, implants don’t shift or become loose, allowing you to eat and speak more comfortably.
- Prevent bone loss: They stimulate the jawbone cells for healthy bone formation, preventing the risk of bone loss.
Who Is A Good Candidate for Dental Implants
Most people with one or more missing teeth are eligible for the dental implant procedure. However, our dentist will evaluate certain factors, including your oral health and jawbone structure, to determine whether you are a good candidate.
Having a sufficient jawbone is crucial as it supports the implant securely. In addition, maintaining good oral hygiene is also important to ensure the long-term success of the procedure.
If your jawbone has weakened due to bone loss, we may recommend some additional procedures to prepare the implant site. Treatments like bone grafting and sinus lift surgery can greatly improve the chances of a stable implant placement.

The Dental Implant Process
When you first visit our dental office, we will start with a thorough oral examination. Our team will take 3D scans and digital X-rays to assess your jawbone. Using advanced technology, our Harvard team will plan the placement of dental implants to restore your missing tooth gaps.
The implant surgery is performed under local anesthesia, and we make sure you remain comfortable. After the procedure, there is a healing period of 3 to 6 months during which the implant merges with your jawbone.
Once healing is complete, a small abutment is attached to the implant post. This serves as a connecting piece for the final restoration, which can be a customized crown, bridge, or full denture.
FAQs
How many implants will I need?
The number of implants required depends on the number of missing teeth and the type of restoration being placed.
What is the recovery time after implant placement?
Most patients can get back to normal routines within a few days to a week. However, full healing and integration of the implant may take 3 to 6 months.
How should I care for dental implants?
Caring for implants requires routine brushing and flossing, along with regular dental checkups. Proper care will help increase the lifespan of your implants.
