Your dental implant procedure is planned in stages to ensure proper healing and long-term stability. Treatment includes:

  • Initial exam and planning
  • Implant placement
  • Healing and integration
  • Crown attachment

We offer several types of dental implants based on your specific needs:

  • Single tooth implants
  • Multiple tooth implants
  • Implant-supported dentures
  • All-on-X full arch solutions

You can choose between strong titanium and natural zirconia.

Receiving dental implants from dentists effectively solves many painful chewing issues.

Look out for these signs:

  • One or more missing teeth
  • A cracked tooth beyond saving
  • Dentures that slip while eating
  • Active jawbone shrinking
  • Difficulty chewing your favorite foods daily

Dental implants provide a long-term solution for missing teeth.

Why our patients choose dental implants:

  • Permanent tooth replacement
  • Blends with your natural teeth
  • Preserves healthy jawbone mass
  • Stops other teeth from shifting
  • Simple flossing and daily maintenance

The cost of dental implants depends on your treatment needs and the type of restoration. In general, a single dental implant typically ranges from $3,000–$6,000. Full-mouth or implant-supported options may cost more depending on the complexity of care.

Factors that affect pricing include the number of implants needed, bone grafting or extractions, and the type of restoration used. Many insurance plans may cover portions of treatment, and flexible financing options may be available. We’ll review your coverage and provide a clear cost estimate before treatment begins.

Your dental implants need routine care to stay healthy. This includes:

  • Daily brushing
  • Flossing
  • Regular dental visits
  • Avoid smoking
  • Eat carefully after treatment

Hear From Our Patients

Robert

Gentle Dental Brighton

I can't say enough good things about how I was treated at Gentle Dental Brighton over the last few years but more specifically recently when I had an infected root. Dr. Meyer was exceptional not just in her skills as a dentist, but how compassionate she was to the amount of pain I was in. She helped me from start to finish and even checked on me after the root canal. Not just a great dentist but a great person.

Michel

Gentle Dental Jamaica Plain

Dr. Mancini and his staff got me in for an appointment within an hour of my call and took care of a loose, temporary cap. To my surprise they were able to “install” my permanent crown even though the appointment for that procedure was scheduled a week later. Perfect fit! Made my day. Thank you Gentle Dental Jamaica Plain!

Denise

Gentle Dental Nashua

Best dental care around! Immaculate office. Staff is exceptional and truly caring. Dr. Anthony is the Best! He understands my anxiety. I am telling everyone to request an appointment at Gentle Dental Nashua!

Tom

Gentle Dental Wakefield

Just had my last implant visit and can now smile again! The whole process went smoothly. Hats off to Dr. Amin, Dr. Colon and Sheela. All three, along with the rest of the staff, were very professional and pleasant to work with. I have been a patient at this office for 10+ years and would recommend Gentle Dental Wakefield to anyone for their next dentist appointment!

Carolyn

Gentle Dental Belmont

This is an excellent dental practice with flexible scheduling and friendly staff. Hygienists and dentists are very knowledgeable and skilled. Would also recommend their periodontist. Prices are quite reasonable as well. The Saturday hours are a huge plus at this dentist in Belmont.

Laura

Gentle Dental Cambridge

I would definitely recommend my experience at Gentle Dental Cambridge in Porter Square. A truly wonderful team of talented people! And they are paired with the most up-to-date technology. My experience was terrific! I needed a root canal and crowns in addition to a cavity filling. I was in safe hands! From start to finish, I was treated well and the procedures were completed in a timely manner.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are small titanium posts that we place in your jaw to replace missing tooth roots. We attach a custom crown on top to restore your tooth. When patients ask what dental implants are, we explain that they look, feel, and function like natural teeth.

What is the process for getting a dental implant?

For dental implants, our dentists start with an exam and imaging to check your jawbone. We then place the implant, allow time for healing, and attach your crown. A dental implants specialist on our team will ensure proper fit and long-term stability

How much does a full set of dental implants typically cost?

The cost of a full set depends on how many teeth need to be replaced and your bone condition. We review the dental implant cost at Gentle Dental during your visit so you know exactly what to expect. Click here to check your coverage online before your visit. We are also happy to go over insurance coverage and financing options with you.

How long do dental implants last?

With proper care, the implant post can last for decades or even a lifetime. The crown on dental implants may need to be replaced after several years due to normal wear. Brushing, flossing, and regular checkups help extend the life of your implant.

Does Gentle Dental accept insurance for dental implants?

Yes, we accept most major dental insurance plans and are happy to review your benefits with you before treatment. 

What are the benefits of dental implants over dentures?

Dental implants stay fixed in place; they do not move when you eat or speak. They feel more natural than dentures and do not require adhesives or removal. With All-on-X dental implants, you also protect your jawbone from shrinking over time.

How do dental implants improve oral health?

Replacing a missing tooth with dental implants helps prevent nearby teeth from shifting. The implant also supports your jawbone and reduces bone loss. This helps maintain your facial structure and keeps your bite aligned over time.

What is the recovery time after getting dental implants?

After placement, mild soreness usually lasts a few days. Full healing for dental implants takes a few months as the implant bonds with your jawbone. We provide clear aftercare instructions to help you stay comfortable during the healing period.

Who is a good candidate for dental implants?

A good candidate has healthy gums and enough bone to support the implant. We often provide a stable option for missing teeth. Before proceeding with dental implants, dentists confirm your eligibility with imaging during your visit.

How painful is one tooth implant?

We numb the area completely to avoid pain while placing a single implant. Dental implants are similar to a routine dental procedure. Any mild discomfort after the procedure can be managed with standard pain medication.

How long does the entire process take?

The full timeline depends on your healing, but most cases take 3-6 months. Dental implants need time to bond with your jawbone before we place the crown. We provide a clear treatment plan during your initial consultation.

What are the potential risks of dental implants?

Dental implant surgery has a low risk of complications when done properly. Our experienced dental implant dentists work to reduce the risk of infection or implant failure. We monitor your healing closely to ensure the implant integrates correctly.

What are the benefits of dental implants compared to dentures?

Unlike removable options, dental implants stay in place and function like natural teeth. They help maintain your jawbone and allow you to eat comfortably. You also care for them the same way you care for your natural teeth.

How many teeth can one implant replace?

One implant is typically used to replace a single missing tooth. However, full mouth dental implants can support multiple teeth or a full arch. We customize your treatment plan based on how many teeth need to be replaced.

Can smokers get dental implants?

Yes, but smoking can result in slow healing and increase the risk of implant failure. If you are considering dental implants, our dentists may recommend reducing or stopping smoking before treatment. This helps improve healing and long-term success.
