The idea of missing a tooth feels like a nightmare to many people. Sometimes, a tooth becomes so damaged or decayed that it can’t be fixed. In others, previous dental treatments may fail, making the tooth impossible to save. If you’re facing the possibility of losing teeth, you may feel overwhelmed and discouraged. It might seem like you’ll never feel fully confident and comfortable with your smile again.
Don’t lose hope! At Rizkalla Dental Associates, we’re proud to offer dental implants in Plymouth, MA, so you can enjoy a strong, beautiful, complete smile for years. With Dr. Karim Rizkalla’s advanced training, we can rebuild your smile and dental health with tailored treatment plans and specialized care under one roof. We can replace any number of missing teeth with dental implants that look and feel just like your own natural, healthy teeth so you can love your smile for life!
Dental implants, whether designed for a single tooth, multiple teeth, implant-supported options, or full mouth restoration, emulate the natural functionality of teeth through a three-part structure: a post, abutment, and restoration. The implant post, surgically positioned in the jawbone, serves as a stable foundation for the abutment, a connecting element that supports the prosthesis.
Our experienced oral surgeons guide you through this intricate process, employing cutting-edge surgical technology to precisely place full mouth dental implants. This precision allows us to customize each dental implant procedure with meticulous attention, addressing your dental needs and smile aspirations. Our commitment to perfection ensures that your envisioned dream smile becomes a tangible reality!

For patients missing a single tooth, dental implants recreate your natural tooth with a prosthetic that will look and function just like your natural tooth. Single dental implants don’t rely on healthy surrounding teeth for support like dental bridges and work well in any area of the mouth. Best of all, they don’t need any special maintenance! You can brush and floss your dental implant just like a regular tooth.
Traditional dental bridges need two stable surrounding teeth to act as anchors. That means they can’t function as the back of an arch, where no tooth supports the back of the bridge. Dental bridges don’t rely on natural teeth. Instead, your bridge will replace several teeth with just two implant posts. We can place your implant bridge anywhere you’re missing multiple teeth in one area.
If you prefer the versatility of a removable denture but want the strength and stability of full mouth dental implants, an implant-supported denture may be a great solution. Also called a hybrid denture, this removable prosthesis clips onto strategically placed implants. You’ll never have to worry about your denture shifting, slipping, or rubbing.
If you’ve been struggling with traditional dentures or you’re dreading the idea of living with dentures due to failing dental health, full mouth dental implants can offer you a new lease on a healthy smile. This permanently fixed prosthesis restores 99% of full chewing function and stays securely in place day and night. We can rebuild your teeth with full mouth dental implants set on just a few posts, giving you a strong, natural-looking smile with a minimally invasive approach.
Your dental implant treatment begins with a thorough consultation, where we delve into your dental and medical history. This comprehensive discussion utilizes X-rays and advanced digital diagnostics to evaluate your oral health. If additional procedures like bone grafting or tooth extraction are necessary, we identify them during this stage. Understanding your smile aspirations and treatment expectations, we collaboratively shape a personalized treatment plan. This plan serves as the blueprint for our skilled dentists, guiding them through the precise placement of your dental implants to ensure the realization of your desired outcome.
Once your treatment plan is created, Dr. Rizkalla will initiate the dental implant procedure by strategically placing 4-6 implants at a 45-degree angle in predetermined locations within your jawbone. After implant placement, an abutment is placed on top of each implant, and a temporary restoration is affixed. This interim solution allows you to enjoy the immediate benefits of a new smile and ensures comfort and functionality during the healing phase of your mouth.
As is typical with surgery, you may encounter temporary discomfort, swelling, and mild bruising around the implant site. We’ll provide aftercare instructions and be available for any questions.
The dental implants will undergo osseointegration over the next 4-6 months, effectively fusing with your jawbone. Once this process is completed, the implants gain the strength to support your final restoration. With the placement of your prosthesis, you’ll reclaim a life free from dietary restrictions, incomplete smiles, and self-consciousness. The result is a confident smile that stands the test of time, offering decades of enjoyment and enhanced quality of life.
