Permanent, Natural-Looking Solutions for Missing Teeth

Restore Your Smile With Expert Implant Dentistry

Overview & Education


Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth because they replicate the full structure of a natural tooth—from the root to the crown. Unlike dentures or bridges that rest on the gum surface, implants integrate directly with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration, creating unmatched stability and long-lasting durability.


An implant consists of three components:


  • Titanium or zirconia post (the artificial root)

  • Abutment (the connector)

  • Custom crown, bridge, or full-arch prosthesis

Once healed, implants look, feel, and function so naturally that most patients forget they even have them.


At Somerset Dentists, implant care is overseen by Dr. Babayan, a nationally recognized prosthodontist with advanced training in:


  • Full-mouth reconstruction

  • Digital implant planning

  • All-on-X full-arch implant systems

  • Complex aesthetic reconstruction

  • Surgical prosthodontics

This level of specialized training ensures your treatment is not only functional but beautifully crafted to match your facial structure, bite, and smile aesthetics.


Dental implants may be right for you if you:


  • Are missing one or more teeth

  • Want a permanent, stable solution

  • Struggle with loose dentures

  • Want to preserve bone and facial structure

  • Desire a natural-looking smile that lasts

Benefits of Dental Implants


Dental implants offer life-enhancing advantages beyond simply replacing a tooth.


1. Permanent, Long-Lasting Results


Implants are designed to last decades—often a lifetime with proper care. They don’t decay and are anchored securely in the jaw for ultimate stability.


2. Preserve Jawbone & Facial Structure


When teeth are missing, the jawbone begins to shrink over time. Implants stimulate the bone like natural roots, preventing bone loss and maintaining your natural facial contours.


3. Eat, Speak, and Smile With Confidence


Because implants function like natural teeth, you can enjoy your favorite foods without worry. No slipping, clicking, or discomfort.


4. Protect Healthy Teeth


Unlike bridges, implants don’t require removing any structure from neighboring teeth. This means your natural teeth stay strong and intact.


5. Natural-Looking Aesthetics


Each implant crown is custom-designed to match your tooth shape, color, and bite, blending seamlessly with your smile.


6. Improved Oral Health


Easy to brush and floss, implants help promote long-term oral health and reduce the risk of future dental issues.


What to Expect During Your Dental Implant Treatment


At Somerset Dentists, we make the implant process comfortable, clear, and predictable. You’ll always understand what’s happening and why—no surprises, no pressure.


1. Consultation & Digital Scan


Your journey begins with a comprehensive exam and CBCT imaging (3D scan) to evaluate bone density, spacing, and overall oral health.

We discuss your goals, review your medical history, and create a personalized treatment plan—whether it’s a single implant or a full-arch All-on-X restoration.


2. Digital Implant Planning


Using advanced digital software, Dr. Babayan plans the exact angle, depth, and position of your implant for maximum comfort, stability, and esthetics. This ensures precision and minimizes risks during surgery.


3. Implant Placement


The implant post is placed gently into the jawbone in a minimally invasive procedure. Many patients report that implant placement is more comfortable than a tooth extraction.


4. Healing & Osseointegration


Over the next few months, your bone naturally fuses with the implant. During this time, you may receive a temporary tooth so you can maintain your appearance and function.


5. Custom Restoration Placement


Once healed, we attach the abutment and place your final custom crown, bridge, or full-arch prosthesis.

Your restoration will be handcrafted for natural appearance, ideal bite alignment, and long-term durability.


6. Follow-Up & Maintenance


We schedule regular check-ins to ensure optimal healing and long-term success. With routine cleanings and proper home care, your implants can last a lifetime.
