Dental Implants in Chadds Ford
A Permanent Solution for Missing Teeth
At Eunson Dental, we offer dental implants as a long-lasting, natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth. Whether you have lost a tooth due to injury, decay, or periodontal disease, dental implants provide a strong, stable, and permanent way to restore your smile.
What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone, serving as a replacement tooth root. Once healed, a custom crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the implant, creating a fully functional and aesthetically pleasing replacement tooth.

Who Is a Candidate for Dental Implants?
Dental implants are ideal for patients who:
✔ Have one or more missing teeth
✔ Have healthy gums and sufficient jawbone to support an implant
✔ Do not have underlying conditions that affect healing, such as uncontrolled diabetes
✔ Are committed to maintaining good oral hygiene and regular dental visits
For patients with bone loss, additional procedures such as bone grafting may be required to strengthen the jawbone before implant placement.
The Dental Implant Process
The placement of dental implants in Chadds Ford typically involves several steps:
Step 1
Consultation & Treatment Planning
✔ A comprehensive exam, including digital X-rays, determines if implants are right for you.
✔ We discuss your treatment goals and options for a customized plan.
Step 2
Implant Placement
✔ The titanium implant post is surgically placed into the jawbone.
✔ Over the next few months, the implant integrates with the bone in a process called osseointegration.
Step 3
Abutment & Crown Placement
✔ Once healed, an abutment is attached to the implant to support the final restoration.
✔ A custom dental crown, bridge, or denture is placed for a fully functional, natural-looking smile.
How to Care for Dental Implants
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. To maintain them:
✔ Brush and floss daily to keep gums and surrounding teeth healthy
✔ Visit your dentist regularly for checkups and cleanings
✔ Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, which can affect healing
✔ Use a nightguard if you grind your teeth to protect the implant
