Permanently replace missing teeth with implants that look, feel, and function like the real thing.
Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth, and Dr. Rockwell offers comprehensive implant services at Marlton Modern Dentistry. Each implant is a titanium post placed in the jawbone that acts as an artificial tooth root, creating a stable foundation for a crown, bridge, or full arch of teeth. The result looks natural, holds up to everyday eating, and helps preserve the jawbone that would otherwise deteriorate after tooth loss.
Implants are designed to last a lifetime with proper care. They preserve the jawbone that would otherwise shrink after tooth loss, keeping your facial structure looking natural over time. Implants let you eat, speak, and laugh with full confidence because they stay where they belong. For patients who have lived with dentures or missing teeth, the change in daily quality of life is often dramatic.
Treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation and digital imaging. Dr. Rockwell evaluates your oral health, jawbone density, and medical history to build a personalized treatment plan. The implant placement procedure is carefully planned for the best long-term result, with comfort prioritized at every step. After placement, the implant needs roughly 3 to 6 months to integrate with the jawbone. A temporary restoration may be provided during healing so you are never without teeth. Once integration is complete, the final crown, bridge, or full-arch prosthetic goes on and the implant is ready for everyday life.
Most patients with good general health are candidates for implants. Key factors include adequate jawbone density and healthy gums. During your consultation, we'll evaluate your specific situation and discuss all options.
Most patients report minimal discomfort during and after implant placement. We use local anesthesia during the procedure, and many patients find that implant placement involves less pain than a tooth extraction.
With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime. The restorations attached to implants may need replacement over time, but the implants themselves are designed to be permanent.
Dental implants require the same care as natural teeth: regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings. With proper maintenance and regular check-ups, your implants can provide decades of reliable service.
Whether you are missing one tooth or many, Dr. Rockwell and the team in Marlton offer implant solutions that restore both appearance and function. Take the first step toward a complete, confident smile.
