What are dental implants?
Dental implants are a long-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth. They provide a strong foundation for permanent or removable teeth and offer the look and feel of natural teeth, restoring oral function and aesthetics. Dental implants consist of:
A titanium post that integrates with your jawbone
A custom-made crown that matches your natural teeth
An abutment that connects the post to the crown
Types of Dental Implants
Depending on individual needs, options for dental implants include single teeth, implant bridges, and dentures. They offer a long-term solution, preserving the jawbone and surrounding teeth. Dental implants can be an effective option for either a single-tooth replacement or multiple-tooth restoration. The implant procedure is performed in stages, allowing for healing and proper integration with the jawbone.
Single-Tooth Dental Implants
Single-tooth implants are an ideal choice for replacing one missing tooth. These implants blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, offering a strong and aesthetic replacement. The process involves placing a small post in the jaw. After a period of healing, an implant extension is placed, and the final restoration is completed with a crown.
Implant Bridges
Implant bridges are a great solution for patients missing several teeth. The procedure is similar to a single-tooth implant but allows multiple teeth to be replaced simultaneously. Typically, two abutments (posts) are placed in the jaw, and the new artificial teeth fill the gap between them. This allows for seamless and natural-looking restoration of your smile and bite.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures offer a solution for overcoming the limitations of traditional dentures. They securely latch onto titanium implants embedded in the jawbone, ensuring they stay in place during eating and talking. Unlike traditional dentures, this method promotes jawbone stimulation, preventing atrophy.

Family Dental Center
Selected 5-star reviews
“From the scheduling process all the way up until my appointment, the customer service at Family Dental Center has been warm, polite and exceptional. Dr. Patel was very nice and explained what I needed to do clearly and answered all my questions. I scheduled my next appt for the follow up procedure without any trouble. It was one of the best dental experiences I’ve had since moving to the state of Delaware 8 years ago.”
“I would recommend this place; the payment break down with the front desk was very straight forward and didn’t leave me guessing about what I would be charged. Also, the dental assistant explained everything in detail from the second I walked in and made sure I understood my options and what the next steps were. Also, there was no wait once I checked into the front desk. 10/10”
