Dental Implants in Philadelphia, PA

What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is a titanium post that functions as an artificial tooth root. Once placed into the jawbone, it supports a crown, bridge, denture, or full-arch prosthetic. Dental implants are the gold standard for tooth replacement because they:

• Look and feel like natural teeth
  
• Prevent bone loss and preserve facial structure
  
• Allow you to eat, speak, and smile confidently
  
• Provide long-term stability with proper care
  
• Require no adhesives or alterations to adjacent teeth

Dental Implant Options We Offer

At Smiles At The Square, we provide a full spectrum of implant solutions to suit your dental health and cosmetic goals:

1. Single Tooth Implants

Replace one missing tooth with a single implant and ceramic crown. This is the most conservative way to fill a gap without altering neighboring teeth.

2. All-on-Four Implants

A life-changing solution for patients missing all teeth in the upper or lower arch. Just four strategically placed implants anchor a full-arch prosthetic for a permanent, non-removable restoration.

• Ideal for those seeking an alternative to removable dentures
  
• Restores full chewing function and confidence
  
• Often completed in one day ("Teeth in a Day")
  

3. Implant-Supported Dentures

These removable dentures are secured by 2–6 implants, providing improved stability over traditional dentures. They snap in place but are removable for cleaning.

• No adhesive required
  
• Less shifting or slipping
  
• Better bone retention over time
  

4. Implant Overdentures

A hybrid option combining the retention of implants with the flexibility of a removable denture. These provide better comfort and function compared to traditional dentures.

• Often supported by 4+ implants
  
• Easy to remove and clean
  
• More secure than conventional dentures
  

5. Mini Dental Implants

Mini implants are a less invasive option for stabilizing dentures or replacing small teeth. They're great for patients with lower bone density or those not ready for full-sized implants.

• Smaller diameter than traditional implants
  
• Shorter healing time
  
• Useful for narrow spaces or low bone volume
  

6. Computer-Guided Implants

Dr. Chopra uses 3D imaging and computer-guided technology to plan implant placement with exceptional precision and predictability.

• Improved accuracy
  
• Minimally invasive placement
  
• Reduced surgical time and discomfort
  
• Customized for each patient's anatomy
  

The Dental Implant Process

1. Consultation & Digital Imaging – We assess your smile, take 3D scans, and review your health and bone density
   
2. Treatment Planning – A personalized plan is created using guided technology for optimal placement
   
3. Implant Placement – Performed in a single visit using local anesthesia and gentle techniques
   
4. Healing Phase – Implants integrate with your bone over several months
