Dental Implants in Lansdale, PA
Permanent Tooth Replacement That Feels Like Your Own
Missing teeth can do more than impact your smile — they can affect your bite, your speech, and your overall health. At Lansdale Dental Care, we offer state-of-the-art dental implants to replace missing teeth with unmatched stability, strength, and realism. Whether you’ve lost one tooth or several, implants offer a long-lasting, natural-looking solution that restores both confidence and function. Under the expert care of Dr. Richard Chillemi, patients from Lansdale, North Wales, Hatfield, Blue Bell, Colmar, and surrounding areas choose dental implants as the gold standard in tooth replacement.
What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a titanium post surgically placed in the jawbone to function as an artificial tooth root. Once healed, this post provides a solid foundation for a dental crown, bridge, or denture, depending on your needs.
Because implants integrate directly with the bone (a process known as osseointegration), they offer superior support and prevent the bone loss that often follows tooth loss.
Who Is a Candidate for Implants?
Dental implants may be right for you if you:
- Are missing one or more teeth
- Have healthy gums and adequate jawbone density
- Are in good general health
- Don’t smoke or are willing to stop during healing
- Want a permanent, fixed solution instead of removable appliances
If you’ve experienced bone loss, additional procedures like bone grafting may be recommended to prepare the area for implant placement.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants provide numerous advantages over traditional tooth replacement options:
- Natural appearance and feel—they look and function like real teeth
- No impact on neighboring teeth—unlike dental bridges
- Preserve jawbone health and prevent facial sagging
- Long-term durability—often lasting a lifetime with proper care
- Secure fit—no slipping or clicking like removable dentures
- Improved speech and chewing ability
They’re a lifelong investment in your oral health and overall quality of life.
Types of Dental Implant Solutions
At Lansdale Dental Care, we offer a range of implant-based restorations to suit your unique needs:
Single Tooth Implants
Ideal for patients missing one tooth. The implant is topped with a custom dental crown for a seamless restoration.
Implant-Supported Bridges
Used when several adjacent teeth are missing. Implants anchor the bridge instead of relying on natural teeth for support.
Full Arch Implants
Multiple implants support a full set of upper or lower teeth for patients missing most or all of their teeth. This includes implant-supported dentures and overdentures.
Mini Implants
A less invasive option for select patients, mini implants are smaller in diameter and can sometimes be placed without bone grafting.
What to Expect During the Implant Process
The dental implant process typically involves several stages over the course of a few months:
1. Consultation & Treatment Planning
Dr. Chillemi will perform a comprehensive exam, take digital X-rays or 3D scans, and determine whether implants are appropriate for you.
2. Surgical Placement
The implant post is placed into the jawbone during a minor surgical procedure. Healing time varies, but most patients recover within a few days.
3. Osseointegration
Over the next few months, the implant fuses with your jawbone to form a strong, stable foundation.
4. Restoration
Once healed, an abutment and custom crown, bridge, or denture is attached—restoring full function and appearance.
We’ll guide you through each step, ensuring comfort and clarity along the way.
Caring for Dental Implants
Implants are low-maintenance but require the same daily care as natural teeth:
- Brush twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush
- Floss around the implant and along the gumline
- Visit us regularly for professional cleanings and checkups
- Avoid using teeth to open packages or chew very hard objects
With the right care, your implants can last decades—often for life.
