Dental implants in Selinsgrove, PA

Dental implants are a secure, permanent solution for tooth loss that are made to look, feel and function like your own natural teeth. Made from titanium and placed into your jawbone, they function similarly to the roots of your natural teeth. They’re designed to support a range of prostheses, including implant crowns (single tooth implants), implant bridges, implant dentures and fixed full-arch (full mouth) implants. Each implant includes three parts: A titanium implant that is surgically placed in your jaw, an abutment (connector), and a custom crown that seamlessly blends with your smile. Once placed, your implant is designed to stay put—no shifting, no slipping. Just a natural-feeling smile, created start to finish by your Aspen Dental care team, all under one roof.

If you’re wondering if dental implants are painful, you’re in the right place. Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the process is. Local anesthesia keeps your mouth numb in the area the implant is being placed. If you’re anxious or are undergoing a more complex procedure, some offices offer sedation as well. After the procedure, mild soreness or swelling is normal and usually manageable with over-the-counter medication or a prescription from your Aspen Dental provider.

We do our best to make implants accessible to everyone. While implants require healthy gums and sufficient bone to place your implants, your local Aspen Dental team in Selinsgrove will discuss what’s needed for your custom care to be eligible for implants. During your consultation, your Aspen Dental provider will take X-rays of your smile, review your oral health and confirm if you are a candidate. If your jawbone is thin or weak, bone grafting may be recommended first to improve the stability of your jaw before placement. Patients with certain medical conditions may need adjustments to their care plan, but in most cases, we can help make implants accessible.

Better long-term health: Think of implants as the foundation for protecting your whole mouth’s health. Because they’re a permanent part of your jaw, they stimulate bone, support surrounding teeth to help keep your bite aligned and help maintain your oral health, which directly impacts and benefits your overall health. Plus, with proper care, implants can last a lifetime, making them a great long-term investment in your smile and health. Natural-looking results: Every implant crown, bridge or prosthesis we make is customized to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth to make smiling, eating and speaking comfortable again. Whether you’re replacing one tooth or many, the result is a smile that looks and feels like you. More facial fullness: Tooth loss can lead to bone loss and create a sunken look over time. Implant treatments help maintain your facial shape and structure, which can contribute to a fuller, more youthful appearance. Enhanced comfort: Implants are designed to feel like a part of you. That means no rubbing, no slipping and no adhesives—just a secure, stable fit whether you’re eating, talking or laughing. No adhesives or clasps: If you’re used to traditional dentures, you may be familiar with using adhesives or clasps to secure your smile. Because implants are highly stable and permanent, you can say goodbye to the need for additional support for your smile.

Yes. Implants are highly versatile with replacement options ranging from one tooth to an entire row of teeth. Here’s how: a single implant can restore and support one tooth, multiple implants can support the majority of prostheses, including a bridge (2–4 teeth), implant dentures (a row of teeth) and fixed full-arch implants (a row of teeth). Your Aspen Dental provider will design a treatment plan that matches your needs and the number of teeth you need to replace.
