Contact UsWhat Are Dental Implants?
It is important to the total health and function of your smile to take care of missing teeth as soon as possible. To help individuals in Brookline, Chestnut Hill, and Natick efficiently treat extracted or missing teeth, our Wellesley, MA practice is incredibly proud to provide several natural-looking dental implant options, including All-on-4® implants, to restore the health and function of teeth. A fixed implant is made up of a sturdy post that serves as an artificial tooth root, while a personalized crown, bridge, or denture is used as the erupted portion of the lost tooth (teeth). When you have missing teeth or need tooth removal, come in for a dental exam at Wellesley Aesthetic Dental Group and learn about your oral implant options.
Can I Get a Dental Implant?
Implant-based solutions are utilized to take the place of any number of missing teeth. You may be considered a good candidate for implants if you have missing teeth, require tooth removal, or are unhappy with your present replacement. To function, dental implants need adequate jawbone mass, healthy gums, and a stable dental environment, so some patients might need additional care before they qualify as proper candidates. Dental implants might not be considered if you are an expecting mother, use tobacco products, or have certain health concerns. During a one-on-one consultation, we will help you decide if implant-based solutions are ideal for you and your needs.
Wellesley Aesthetic Dental Group Reviews
Patient with Dr Rafla for 25 yrs - After a car accident at 19 yrs old my only option back then was dental bridges. At 40 yrs old with nerve pain & failing bridgework I saw Dr. Rafla for implants.He is a total professional & expert periodontist, as well as kind, caring person. My implants have not failed in 25 yrs. I moved to Maine to retire and when told to see a local periodontist I couldn't start with someone new. I drove 3 hrs back to Worcester, MA for a consult because I trust Dr. Rafla.
I had a few root canals done at my dentist and then the teeth cracked and needed to be extracted. I lived with the missing teeth till I found Dr Rafla and he explained that I needed a bone graph since it they had been missing so long..that took six months for the bone to regenerate and give him the depth for the implants...the implants were painless and done correctly I have been going back to them for 2 yrs to monitor the implant, check my receding gums and get a extensive cleaning every 6 months. I was then able to go back to my doctor and get Invisalign treatment. Without Dr Rafla this would not be possible. Yes I could have bought a new car, but I also could have had dental problems the rest of my life..I now don't worry and my smile is straight again.

What Is Involved in Getting Dental Implants?
The methodology for oral implants includes the surgical positioning of the implant and the securing of a realistic dental restoration (like partial pieces, crowns, and bridges). As soon as the area is ready for the procedure, it is numbed with anesthesia. The metal screw will be surgically placed within your jawbone at a specific location and allowed a period of time to fuse with the jaw through a phenomenon known as osseointegration; this can take between 3 – 6 months. When the surgical site has fully recovered, we will set a custom-made denture, crown, or full-arch restoration and check the alignment of your biting surfaces.
What Can I Expect After Dental Implant Placement?
After you receive this treatment, you may experience moderate puffiness, discoloration, and discomfort near the treated area. This is normal and should subside within several days. Prescription or nonprescription pain medication and cool compresses could help reduce this post-procedure discomfort. As soon as the titanium implant has fused with the bone tissue and your unique crown, denture, or bridge is set, it's critical to maintain effective tooth brushing and flossing techniques. When your visit our Wellesley, MA dental facility for your twice-yearly dental cleanings, we will utilize special dental tools to polish your oral implants and monitor the health of your tooth replacements.
