TOOTH IMPLANT PROCESS Concord, NH
The closest match to natural teeth in strength, comfort, and appearance
A dental implant replaces both the root and the visible crown of a missing tooth. A small biocompatible post is placed in the jaw where it fuses with bone, creating a solid anchor. Once healed, a custom porcelain crown attaches to the post and emerges through the gum just like a natural tooth. The result looks lifelike, feels secure when you chew, and stands alone without relying on neighboring teeth for support.
Implants preserve jawbone. When a tooth is lost, the bone that once surrounded the root begins to shrink because it no longer receives stimulation from chewing forces. An implant transmits those forces back into the bone, maintaining volume and keeping facial contours strong. Bridges and partial dentures restore function but cannot stop bone loss in the empty socket the way an implant can.
Eating improves too. With an implant, you bite into crisp apples, chew steak, and enjoy nuts with confidence. There is no worrying about movement or dietary restrictions common with removable dentures. Speech often sounds clearer because a single tooth implant does not cover the palate or add bulk inside the cheeks.
Long-term studies show implant success rates above ninety-five percent when placed by experienced teams and maintained with proper home care. At Wall Street Dental Group we use digital imaging, precise surgical guides, and high quality titanium implants with decades of research behind them. Our coordinated approach reduces healing time and helps ensure reliable, lasting results.

Transparent planning keeps you informed and comfortable from consultation to final crown
Your journey starts with a full examination, digital photographs, and a three‑dimensional cone beam scan that maps bone volume and nerve locations. We review your medical history and discuss goals, budget, and timing. If multiple teeth are missing, we explore whether individual implants, an implant bridge, or an implant supported denture will best serve your needs.
Using the three‑dimensional scan, we design a virtual model of the implant in ideal position for strength and aesthetics. A surgical guide is printed to direct angle and depth on the day of placement. If bone volume is thin, we add graft material during or before surgery to build a solid foundation. You receive a printed outline of appointments, healing phases, and accurate cost estimates. As an office in network with Delta Dental, we submit a pre‑authorization so you can see exact benefit amounts in advance.
Over the next three to four months the implant and bone fuse in a natural bonding process called osseointegration. If the missing tooth is in the smile zone, we place an attractive temporary to maintain appearance. Soft foods are encouraged for a few days, and most patients return to work the next morning with little more than mild soreness that over‑the‑counter medication controls.
Once the implant is secure, we attach a custom titanium or zirconia abutment that rises through the gum. A digital scan captures the exact contour, and our lab crafts a porcelain crown that matches shade and translucency of neighboring teeth. During the delivery visit we check bite contacts in several positions, polish margins, and review cleaning techniques. You leave with a tooth that looks and feels like it has always been part of your smile.
For patients missing several or all teeth, we follow similar steps but design an implant bridge or a fixed full‑arch prosthesis that locks onto as few as four strategically placed implants. These larger solutions restore chewing efficiency and prevent denture movement while still allowing you to brush and floss easily.

Simple habits and regular care keep your new tooth strong for life
Brush twice a day with a soft brush and low‑abrasive toothpaste, angling bristles to sweep under the implant crown edge. Floss daily or use a small inter‑dental brush to remove plaque where the crown meets the gum. An antimicrobial rinse can reduce bacteria if recommended by the hygienist.
Schedule professional cleanings every six months. Our team uses special instruments that will not scratch implant surfaces. We measure gum levels around the implant and take periodic X‑rays to confirm bone remains stable. Early detection of excess plaque or bite stress lets us correct small issues before they threaten the implant.
Wear a custom night guard if you clench or grind. Excessive forces during sleep can loosen crowns or abutments and strain the implant post. A slim protective guard cushions those forces and extends the life of all dental work.
Avoid chewing ice or hard non‑food objects. While porcelain is strong, sudden impact can chip edges. Cutting tough food into smaller bites spreads chewing pressure across more teeth.
If you play contact sports, invest in a custom mouthguard. It not only shields your implant crown but also protects natural teeth, lips, and jaws from unexpected blows.
With consistent home care and professional support, implants often last a lifetime, making them an outstanding value compared to bridges that may need replacement after ten or fifteen years.

Providing Clarity on Common Queries
Placement is done under local anesthetic, so you feel pressure but no pain. Mild soreness for a day or two is common and managed with over‑the‑counter medication and cool compresses. Most patients say recovery is easier than they expected.
From placement to final crown, most single implants finish in three to six months, depending on healing speed and whether bone grafting is needed. Larger cases with multiple implants can take slightly longer.
Implants are an investment, but their long life often makes them more cost‑effective than bridges or dentures that need replacement. Delta Dental and other insurers sometimes cover part of the surgical or restorative fees. We provide clear estimates and offer financing plans to spread payments comfortably.
In many cases, yes. Bone grafting or the use of wider or longer implants can restore adequate support. A cone beam scan helps us evaluate bone dimensions accurately and design a solution tailored to your anatomy.
