What are dental implants?

A natural tooth has two parts: the crown you chew with, and the root hidden under your gum. When you lose a tooth, both are gone — and that missing root is what most replacement options never address.
A dental implant replaces the root. It’s a small titanium post — the same material used in artificial hips — placed into the jawbone where the natural root used to be. Over a few months, the bone fuses to the titanium, creating a foundation as stable as the original tooth’s root. A custom crown is then attached on top, completing the restoration.
Unlike a bridge, a dental implant doesn’t require grinding down healthy neighboring teeth. Unlike a denture, it doesn’t slip, doesn’t need to be removed at night, and doesn’t lose grip over time. Because it’s anchored in bone, it also prevents the jaw deterioration that follows long-term tooth loss.
Why Choose Hanson Family Dental for Your Implants
Most South Shore practices refer the surgical part of implants out to a separate periodontist or oral surgeon. We don’t. Every step happens right here in our Hanson office.

Our Dental Implant Process
Every implant case is a little different, but here is what most patients can expect at Hanson Family Dental.
1
Consultation & 3D imaging
A thorough exam, a conversation about your goals, and 3D imaging of your jaw — so we can see bone density, nerve locations, and sinus structure before any decisions are made. You leave with a clear plan, timeline, and cost.
2
Treatment planning
Using your 3D scan, we plan the exact position and angle of your implant before the procedure ever begins. This is what separates a comfortable, predictable surgery from a complicated one.
3
Implant placement
The implant is placed during a single appointment in our office. Sedation options are available. If a tooth extraction is needed, the implant can often be placed during the same visit.
4
Healing & osseointegration
Over the next 3 months, your jawbone naturally fuses to the titanium implant. You go about normal life during this time. We schedule check-ins to make sure healing is on track.
5
Final restoration
Once the implant is fully integrated, we take a scan and send it to our partner laboratory to fabricate your custom crown. From there, we attach the abutment and final crown — designed and fitted by our team to match your surrounding teeth in shape, shade, and bite.
6
Long-term follow-up
In healthy patients who maintain good oral hygiene, implants are designed to last decades. As your general dental home, we keep an eye on your implants at every cleaning — no need to coordinate with an outside specialist.
Curious whether you’re a candidate?
Most patients are — and the consultation is the easiest place to find out.
Implant Treatment Options
Implants are not one-size-fits-all. Depending on how many teeth are missing and the condition of the surrounding bone, the right solution looks different for every patient.
For one missing tooth
Single Tooth Implant
A single implant supports a single crown, replacing just the affected tooth without involving the neighbors.
For several missing teeth
Implant-Supported Bridge
Two implants support a bridge of three or more teeth — more stable and longer-lasting than a traditional bridge. The bridge stays firmly in place while you eat, and it never needs to be taken out.
For a full arch
All-on-4 Implants
Four strategically placed implants support a complete arch of fixed teeth. Life-changing for denture patients.
Removable + secure
Implant-Supported Dentures
A small number of implants snap into a denture — significantly reducing slipping while keeping the option to remove.

Dental Implant Cost & Financing
Cost is the question every implant patient is thinking about before they ever pick up the phone. We won’t list specific prices online — every case is genuinely different — but we won’t dodge the subject either.
You’ll leave your consultation with a clear, written estimate. No surprises, no upcharges, no hidden fees.
Worth knowing: in healthy patients who maintain good oral hygiene, a dental implant is designed to last decades. When compared against repeatedly replacing a bridge every 10 years, an implant often costs less over the long run — and preserves the jawbone in a way no other replacement option can.
Most Insurance Accepted
We work with most major dental plans to maximize your benefits.
CareCredit Financing
Break the cost into monthly payments that fit your budget.
Multiple Payment Methods
Cash, check, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover.
Long-Term Value
With good care, designed to last decades — often less expensive than a bridge replaced every 10 years.
Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Implants
Am I a candidate for dental implants?
Most adults with one or more missing teeth are good candidates for implants. The two factors that matter most are your overall health and the condition of your jawbone. During your consultation, Dr. Lee will review your medical history and use 3D imaging to evaluate your bone — and if grafting is needed to build up the area, we can do that here as well.
Do dental implants hurt?
The implant procedure itself is performed under local anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during placement. Most patients describe the recovery as easier than a tooth extraction — mild soreness for a few days, manageable with standard over-the-counter pain relievers. We offer sedation options for patients who prefer additional comfort.
How long does the whole process take?
From your first consultation to the day you leave with your final crown, most cases take four to nine months — most of which is healing time you spend going about normal life.
How long do dental implants last?
In healthy patients who maintain good oral hygiene and overall health, dental implants are designed to last decades — many patients have implants that have functioned for 25 years or more. The crown on top may need to be replaced eventually, but the implant itself typically does not.
What if I've been told I don't have enough bone?
Bone loss is common after teeth have been missing for a long time, but it’s rarely a dealbreaker. Bone grafting and sinus lifts can rebuild the foundation needed to support an implant, and both procedures are routinely performed in our office — no separate specialist required.
Are dental implants better than bridges or dentures?
For most patients, yes — but the right answer depends on the case. Implants preserve the jawbone, don’t require grinding down neighboring teeth (the way a bridge does), and don’t slip or need to be removed at night (the way dentures do). They are the closest thing to having your natural tooth back.
Does insurance cover dental implants?
Coverage varies widely by plan. Many plans cover a portion of the restoration (the crown on top) but not the implant itself, while others cover both. We’ll review your benefits with you at your consultation and provide a written estimate that shows exactly what your plan will cover and what your out-of-pocket cost will be.
Can I get implants the same day as my tooth extraction?
In many cases, yes. Placing the implant at the same time as the extraction can reduce the total number of procedures and shorten the overall timeline. Dr. Lee will let you know during your consultation whether this is a good option for your case.
What is All-on-4 and how is it different from regular implants?
All-on-4 is a full-arch solution for patients missing most or all of the teeth on the upper or lower jaw. Instead of replacing each tooth with an individual implant, four strategically placed implants support a complete arch of fixed teeth. It’s life-changing for patients who have struggled with dentures.
What happens if my implant fails?
Modern implant success rates are above 95%. In the rare case of complication, you’ll deal with the same team that placed the implant in the first place — we don’t hand you off. The implant can typically be replaced after a brief healing period.
