Dental Implants

Our Bethlehem office will offer full implant placement and restoration in-house, meaning most patients won't need a separate trip to a specialist.

What Is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant replaces a missing tooth root with a small titanium post, topped with a crown that looks and functions like the real thing. Unlike a bridge or a removable denture, an implant won't shift out of place, wear down early, or develop decay. Because it replaces the root itself, it also helps protect the surrounding bone and gum tissue, something a missing tooth alone can't do.

How Long Do Implants Last?

Implants have a long-term success rate of up to 98%, and with reasonable care, they can last the rest of your life. Day-to-day upkeep is refreshingly simple, brush and floss the way you already do and that's it. No special tools, no extra steps, and since the implant itself can't decay, it stays one of the lowest-maintenance ways to replace a tooth.

Implant Overdentures

Traditional dentures, especially on the bottom arch, have a habit of slipping or feeling loose. Anchoring a denture to implants solves that problem, holding it firmly in place and making chewing feel far more natural. Whether you already wear dentures or you're weighing your options for the first time, an implant-supported overdenture is worth a conversation with your dentist.
