Dental Implants Offer a Complete Solution for Missing Teeth
Living with missing teeth can wreak havoc on your oral health and mental well-being. Many consequences can arise from not replacing missing teeth, such as jawbone loss, teeth drifting where they shouldn’t, difficulties eating and speaking, and chronic headaches. At Merrimack Dental Associates, we understand how these issues can negatively affect your day-to-day life, so we proudly offer dental implants! Dental implants provide durable and reliable solutions for replacing a single missing tooth, multiple teeth, or entire dental arches.
Dental implants have three parts: the implant post, abutment, and restoration (false teeth). Dental implants are the preferred tooth restoration solution because of their stability, durability, and natural appearance. Whether you need a single dental implant or full-mouth dental implants, our team in Methuen, MA, can restore your missing smile!

We Have Solutions for Every Smile
Single Implants
A single dental implant is ideal for replacing one missing tooth, offering a permanent, natural-looking restoration! The implant consists of a titanium post that fuses with the jawbone, providing a stable foundation for a custom-made crown that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth. This minimally invasive procedure restores your smile’s function and appearance, helping you regain confidence and oral health.
Dental Bridges
Dental bridges are a reliable solution for replacing a few teeth in a row. They use adjacent teeth as anchors to support a custom-made bridge. By filling in gaps, dental bridges restore the function and appearance of your smile, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile confidently. Dental bridges can last many years with proper care, providing a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution for missing teeth.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures are a permanent and secure solution for replacing multiple missing teeth or an entire arch of teeth. They are anchored by dental implants for added stability. Unlike traditional dentures, they don’t slip or require adhesives, giving you the confidence to eat, speak, and smile naturally! With the support of implants, these dentures provide better comfort, durability, and improved function, making them an excellent choice for those seeking a long-lasting, reliable restoration.
Full-Arch Dental Implants
Full-arch dental implants provide a permanent and stable solution for replacing an entire set of upper or lower teeth. A series of implants supports a custom-made prosthesis. Full-arch implants restore complete function, comfort, and a natural appearance, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile confidently! They are designed to be durable and long-lasting, offering a more secure alternative to traditional dentures or bridges.
What to Expect from the Dental Implant Process
Consult & Planning
While dental implants are the number one solution for restoring your smile, we must ensure you are a candidate before beginning your treatment. During this consultation, we will assess your oral health and the suitability for dental implants before proceeding with any necessary diagnostic tests, which may include X-rays or CT scans to evaluate the density and structure of your jawbones.
Once you qualify for dental implants, a tailored treatment plan will be crafted to address your specific needs and smile goals! This treatment plan will outline how many dental implants are needed, where they will be placed based on your jawbone density and structure, and what your smile will look like once your treatment is complete!
The Procedure
After completing the consultation and planning phases, we will proceed with the dental implant placement. If you have any teeth that need to be removed, we will do that during this procedure. Once we are ready to begin, we will administer your choice of anesthesia and make an incision within the gumline to access the underlying bone.
We will place a custom number of implants along your jawbone and attach your abutment connector. Once these are in place, we will attach your temporary set of teeth on the same say, so you never have to go without teeth!
Follow-Up Visits
After your dental implant procedure, we will schedule follow-up visits to ensure your recovery progresses smoothly and that the implant integrates properly with your jawbone. During these visits, we’ll monitor the healing process, check for any signs of complications, and make any necessary adjustments.
Our team will also assess the fit of your restoration and ensure it functions properly, making any refinements needed for a natural and comfortable bite. With our comprehensive aftercare, you can rest assured that we are committed to helping you achieve long-term success with your dental implants!
Healing & Final Restorations
Once the implant is placed, it will need time to heal and integrate with the surrounding bone tissue. This process, known as osseointegration, can take several months. Once the healing process is complete, we will place the final restoration! The final step involves positioning the restoration directly on top of the implant.
The restoration may be a crown, bridge, or denture, depending on how many teeth need to be replaced and your specific requirements. Once the final restorations are placed, you can enjoy a beautiful smile for years to come!
Dental Implants Are an Investment In Your Smile and Overall Health
Dental implants are one of the best solutions for tooth restoration due to their stability, natural appearance, and durability. Although the cost of dental implants can be more costly upfront, investing in dental implants can lead to your healthiest smile. The cost of dental implants can vary depending on the number of implants needed.
We proudly offer various financing options to make dental implant procedures more affordable. Your oral health is essential, and investing in your smile can enhance your confidence and help you achieve the smile of your dreams. That’s why our team at Merrimack Dental Associates is here to assist you in reaching your smile goals by putting affordable dental implants within reach!
