Missing teeth do more than impact your smile — they can affect your ability to chew, speak clearly, and feel confident. At Medford Square Dentistry & Implants, we offer advanced dental implants that look, feel, and function like real teeth. Whether you're missing one tooth or several, our implant solutions are designed to restore your smile for life.
What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a titanium post that acts as a synthetic tooth root. It is placed into the jawbone and topped with a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture. As the implant fuses with the bone through osseointegration, it delivers exceptional stability and long-term support.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
- Permanent Tooth Replacement: Implants are a durable, lasting solution when properly cared for.
- Natural Look and Feel: They mimic the look, feel, and function of real teeth so you can eat, speak, and smile confidently.
- Preserve Jawbone Health: Implants help stimulate the jawbone and prevent bone loss, unlike bridges or dentures.
- Protect Adjacent Teeth: They don't require alteration of neighboring teeth for placement.
- Enhanced Comfort: Since implants integrate with your bone, there's no slipping or irritation.
Types of Dental Implant Solutions We Offer
- Single-Tooth Implants: Restore a single missing tooth using a custom implant and crown for a seamless look.
- Implant-Supported Bridges: Ideal when multiple teeth are missing—supported by implants for added stability.
- Implant-Retained Dentures: Provide enhanced comfort and hold for those missing all upper or lower teeth.
The Dental Implant Process
- Consultation & Planning: We perform a full evaluation using digital imaging to assess your jawbone and plan your care.
- Implant Placement: The titanium post is placed under local anesthesia with minimal discomfort reported.
- Healing & Osseointegration: The implant fuses with the bone over several months to ensure a strong foundation.
- Restoration Placement: We place a custom crown, bridge, or denture to complete your smile naturally.
Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?
You may be a great candidate if you:
- Are missing one or more teeth
- Have healthy gums and adequate jawbone
- Don’t have uncontrolled health conditions like diabetes

Even if you've experienced bone loss, our bone grafting procedures may allow you to receive implants successfully.
