Whether you're a patient of record or just found our practice online, we're proud to provide you with our time-tested Newton dental implant services.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants consist of three unique components: the implant post, which is surgically placed into the dentition; the prosthetic tooth restoration, which sits above the gum line; and the abutment, which connects the two components. In contrast to traditional restorations, our Newton dental implants offer a permanent solution to tooth loss and extraction.

For many patients, this restorative treatment option is used to replace teeth that have been severely damaged by periodontal disease or tooth infection. Implants can also be used to support multiple tooth restorations, such as bridges and overdentures, offering stability unparalleled by conventional tooth replacement methods.

Our Comprehensive Approach to Dental Implants

When placing dental implants, patients first complete a rigorous examination to double-check that dental implants are the best restorative solution for them. During this in-depth examination, our implant specialists evaluate the condition of each component of your smile, including the jawbone, neighboring teeth, and gums. Our dental staff takes a collaborative approach to implant planning to determine the number of implants needed to support your restoration, as well as the most strategic placement of implants.

Once the bone has been properly prepared, your Newton dental implant is placed by our dentists. During a 3D-guided surgical procedure, advanced technology is used to precisely embed the implant into the jawbone. In certain cases, patients with sufficient bone density can also receive the abutment and final restoration during the placement procedure. Teeth-in-a-day is an innovative technique that allows patients to receive high-quality restorations that are manufactured in the office with CEREC® in-office milling technology.

Meeting Your Pretreatment Needs

In certain cases, preliminary treatments such as extraction, bone grafting, or sinus augmentation may be necessary in order to facilitate long-term success. To provide patients with consistent care throughout each phase of our Newton dental implant procedure, these specialized surgical treatments can be integrated as part of your implant treatment plan. If you have any questions about what our pretreatment options entail, our team is here for you.

Some of the details of our treatment procedures include:

Tooth Extractions: One of the primary goals at our dental practice is to save as many of your natural teeth as possible. If you happen to have a tooth that's been affected by severe decay or damage, it may be in your best interest to extract it. Dr. Filandrianos and his team will extract the affected tooth and work to help the area properly heal so that you can receive your implant without a problem.
Bone Grafts: For any dental implant procedure to be successful, you need a healthy jawbone. When we examine your jawbone, our dentist may decide that you need a bone graft before receiving your implant. A bone graft is an oral surgical procedure where our team takes a small portion of healthy or synthetic bone and places it in an area with weak or brittle bone. Once the procedure is complete and the area has healed, we can place your dental implant successfully.
Sinus Augmentation: Sinus augmentation is similar to a bone graft, as it places healthy bone material on areas that aren't strong enough to secure one or more dental implants on their own. You may need a sinus lift for various reasons, including the reabsorption of bone because of tooth loss or gum disease. However, one of the main distinctions between a sinus lift and a bone graft is that a sinus lift is reserved for your upper jaws.
