PERMANENT DENTAL IMPLANTS FOR FRONT TEETH

A higher level of care and a permanent solution for tooth loss in Shrewsbury, PA

Placement of front implants is considerably more difficult and can also be more expensive than posterior implants. The bone is often thinner and less dense than in other areas of the mouth. If a tooth has been missing for a long period of time or if a tooth never developed in a spot, orthodontics and grafting will be considered for your individualized treatment plan every time. Smaller implants, customized ceramic abutment posts, and computer-guided implant surgery will virtually always be used for your treatment. The upper front jaw bone (maxilla) is susceptible to rapid deterioration should a tooth be removed incorrectly, should a tooth socket fail to be preserved with grafting, or should a poor implant placement result in loss and bone resulting in the need for more surgery and a different implant.

OTHER RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY SERVICES

Complete Smile Makeover

Exceptional porcelain veneers and complete smile makeovers create the most beautiful and long lasting smiles. Dr. Haywood is the most accomplished and experienced cosmetic dentist in our area. He has been seen in New Beauty Magazine, on WGAL and ABC2 Baltimore, and in multiple publications for his cosmetic dental extreme makeovers. We pride ourselves in creating the best smiles in York County and beyond.

Snap-on Implant Tooth

Snap-on implant teeth are full arch dentures or partial dentures that rest partially on the gums and are connected to snaps on implants. These are vastly different from traditional dentures and partials because they just hold so much better. This is the most affordable style of implant teeth we can offer.

Single Tooth Implant

When one tooth is missing, a dental implant can serve as a total tooth replacement. Instead of the tooth root, Dr. Haywood places a titanium dental implant into the area where the former root used to live. After this heals for about 8 weeks, a post and a crown are custom designed to be placed on your implant that is now strong and secure in your bone. A single tooth implant looks and acts just like one of your own teeth.

TESTIMONIALS

I am not a big fan of the dental chair, HOWEVER, I switched to Dr. Steven Haywood DDS in Shrewsbury and have lost that dislike. I’m even going quarterly now. My teeth look 100% better and feel better as well. The office is so beautiful, located in a restored office building on the square in Shrewsbury. The gals at the front desk as well as the dental hygienists and assistants are awesome! Dr. Haywood’s expertise goes beyond just cleaning and cavities. I had a tooth implant done by him and he saw me through the whole process. Then we whitened them and what a difference. If you need a dentist or are looking to change, he has my vote! Check him out!

Dr. Haywood is always on his A-game! He always puts in true effort and care, never does anything callously! Wonderful staff who work with efficiency and diligence. I have never found any other place that is as good as his.

I only asked that he would make sure my teeth looked natural. That was one of the main reasons I chose him to do my work. I could tell from the pictures of previous work he had done, and from the computer imaging that was done of my own teeth, that he treated each case like a work of art and each was unique. Just as important to me was that from the first procedure to the last, I got to sleep while he worked. I was given a couple of little blue pills and just napped through most of my visits. I had quite a bit of work done. I had most of my teeth veneered top and bottom, received an implant to replace my lost teeth, and had the rest of the teeth capped so that they would all match and be even. When I realized that he was a perfectionist, was when a couple of the teeth that he had custom crafted arrived, and he refused to put them in.

I just recently had surgery there. I’m young and had a lot of work done, which no one my age should ever have to experience. With that being said, the warmth, tender care, and compassion they showed and gave 100% of the time was absolutely incredible. They gave me something greater than a beautiful smile, they gave me my self-confidence back. I couldn’t smile for years. Before the surgery, my teeth were so bad that I was scared of having infections set in which could have become septic. Thanks to Dr. Haywood and the incredible staff, they gave me relief from my anxiety I had every day for years. I am so grateful to have been given a referral to Southern York Smile Care. You know what’s really awesome? Dr. Haywood was there for me. I wasn’t just a paycheck to Dr. Haywood, I was a mother, a family-oriented struggling adult. Dr. Haywood treated me with respect and fought for me in my corner to try to come up with something that was perfect. I can’t thank him and his staff enough for giving my greatest gift I hadn’t had for a long time; the most beautiful, amazing, and greatest smile.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can you get a front tooth implant?

Absolutely. Front tooth dental implants are a great option for replacing a missing front tooth and are suitable for most patients.

How long does it take to get a front tooth implant?

Your dentist will surgically place the implant (titanium post) in your jaw bone, taking an hour or two to complete for each implant being placed. After this step is complete, Dr. Haywood might wait about three months before the final restoration of the tooth replacement.

How long does it take for a front tooth implant to heal?

In most cases, it takes anywhere from two to eight months for a dental implant to heal enough for you to resume your daily routine without assistance. However, every patient is different, and it can take longer, especially if bone grafting is involved.

How painful is a front tooth implant?

You can expect not to feel any pain during your dental implant procedure, as Dr. Haywood will have numbed your nerves. You will, however, feel a little pressure at times, but it should not cause you discomfort. Oral sedation is available for patients who have dental anxiety.

Can a missing front tooth be replaced?

Absolutely! Although there are replacement options such as a dental bridge or removable denture, dental implants are the ideal option currently available for replacing a missing front tooth.

How long do front teeth implants last?

The implant screw in the jaw bone can last a lifetime with regular brushing and flossing and professional dental check-ups every three months. There is a possibility that the crown may need to be replaced every ten to fifteen years due to wear and tear.
