Dental implants are a long-lasting and highly effective solution for replacing missing teeth. Our office offers high-quality dental implants in Langhorne, Pennsylvania, designed to restore both the function and aesthetics of your smile. Whether you are missing one tooth or several, dental implants can help you regain your confidence and oral health by providing a permanent and natural-looking replacement.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants consist of a titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as an artificial tooth root. Once the implant has integrated with the bone, a custom-made dental crown is attached to the post, providing a durable and natural-looking restoration. Dental implants are considered one of the most reliable and long-term solutions for tooth loss because they closely mimic the structure and function of natural teeth. Dr. Jayashree Thorat works closely with each patient to create a personalized treatment plan that meets their specific needs.
Benefits of Dental Implants
- Permanent solution: Dental implants are designed to be a long-lasting replacement for missing teeth.
- Natural appearance: The custom-made crown is designed to match the shape, size and color of your natural teeth.
- Improves oral health: Dental implants help prevent bone loss and maintain the structure of your jawbone.
- Restores function: Implants allow patients to chew, speak and smile with confidence, just as they would with natural teeth.
- No impact on surrounding teeth: Unlike traditional bridges, dental implants do not require the support of adjacent teeth, preserving their integrity.
The Implant Process
The dental implant process typically involves two stages. First, the titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone. After a healing period, during which the implant integrates with the bone, our dentist will attach a custom crown to complete the restoration. The result is a strong, durable and natural-looking tooth replacement.

FAQ
What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is a titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as an artificial tooth root. A custom-made crown is then attached, offering a permanent solution for missing teeth that looks and functions like a natural tooth.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. The titanium post integrates with the jawbone, while the crown may need replacement after many years depending on wear and tear.
How do I care for my dental implants?
Dental implants require regular brushing, flossing and routine dental checkups, just like natural teeth. We will guide you on proper implant care to ensure long-lasting results.
Who is a candidate for dental implants?
Most patients with good oral health and sufficient jawbone density are candidates for dental implants. We will perform an evaluation to determine if dental implants are the right choice for you.
What is the recovery process for dental implants?
After the implant is placed, there is a healing period where the implant integrates with the bone, which can take several months. During this time, our team will provide you with instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
