Dental implants in Shrewsbury, PA
Dental implants replace missing teeth with a post that sits in the jawbone and holds a crown, a bridge or a full arch of teeth. At Southern York Smile Care in Shrewsbury, PA, Dr. Steven Haywood, DDS, a Fellow of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, plans every implant on an in-office 3D cone beam scan, places it, and makes the teeth that go on it, so one dentist is responsible from the first scan to the final tooth. The options are single-tooth implants, implant bridges, All-on-4 fixed teeth with temporary teeth the same day, snap-on teeth that cost about 30% less, and metal-free zirconia implants. Patients come from York, Red Lion, Glen Rock and northern Baltimore County, Maryland. You pay at the visit, the office files your insurance claim, and monthly plans are available through CareCredit and Cherry. A single implant usually heals into the bone over a few months before its final crown is fitted, while All-on-4 patients leave with fixed temporary teeth the same day. If the scan shows too little bone, grafting can rebuild it, sometimes at the same visit as the implant. Implants cannot decay, and with good planning and care they may last a lifetime.

Frequently asked questions
Which kind of implant do I need?
One missing tooth usually needs a single implant. Several teeth in a row can share an implant bridge. A full arch can be All-on-4 (fixed) or snap-on teeth (removable, lower cost). Dr. Haywood recommends the right one after a 3D scan.
How long do implants last?
With good planning and care, implants may last a lifetime. They can't decay, and they fail in about 2% of cases.
Do I have enough bone?
A 3D cone beam scan at the Shrewsbury, PA office shows whether you have enough bone. If not, bone grafting can rebuild it, sometimes at the same visit as the implant.
Does getting an implant hurt?
The area is numbed, and sedation is available. Most people notice only mild soreness afterward.
How much do implants cost?
The cost of dental implants at Southern York Smile Care depends on how many teeth and which type. Snap-on teeth cost about 30% less than fixed implant teeth. You get an exact plan at your consultation, and monthly plans are available through CareCredit and Cherry.
Who places the implants?
Dr. Steven Haywood, DDS, a Fellow of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, plans and places implants in the Shrewsbury office and makes the teeth that go on them, so one dentist is responsible from the first scan to the final crown or bridge.
Do you offer metal-free implants?
Yes, Southern York Smile Care in Shrewsbury, PA offers metal-free zirconia implants. Alongside titanium implants, zirconia (ceramic) implants are available for patients who prefer a metal-free option. The consultation looks at your bone and bite to see which suits you.
How long does the whole process take?
A single implant usually needs a few months to heal into the bone before the final crown is fitted. With All-on-4, a fixed set of temporary teeth is attached the same day and the final bridge follows after healing.
