Dental implants differ from bridges and dentures in a meaningful way. A bridge relies on adjacent healthy teeth for support, and dentures can shift over time. Implants use a small titanium post placed into the jawbone that fuses with bone tissue for a secure, long-lasting foundation. Once healing is complete, a natural-looking crown is attached on top. We provide dental implants serving Alburtis, PA, with the same standard of care patients throughout the Lehigh Valley have trusted for over 35 years.

We offer implant care backed by advanced credentials and decades of experience. Dr. McKenna received his surgical implant training at Harvard University and holds a Mastership in the Academy of General Dentistry (MAGD), a distinction earned by fewer than 2,500 dentists in the world. He is also a certified member of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry (AAID). As your family dentist and general dentistry provider, Dr. McKenna handles your complete dental care in a single, trusted practice. Flexible CareCredit financing may be available, and our team can assist with insurance claim submissions on your behalf.

The dental implant process typically follows a clear, phased path:

  1. Consultation and evaluation: Dr. McKenna examines your gum health, bone structure, and medical history to determine whether implants are a good fit.
  2. Implant placement: A small titanium post is surgically placed into your jawbone to serve as the tooth root.
  3. Osseointegration and healing: Over roughly 3 to 6 months, bone tissue bonds with the implant, creating a stable anchor.
  4. Abutment placement: A small connector post is secured to the implant once healing is confirmed.
  5. Crown placement: A custom, lifelike crown is affixed to complete your restored smile.

Sedation options, including conscious sedation and nitrous oxide, may be available for patients who experience dental anxiety.

Are You a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?

Good candidates typically have healthy gums and sufficient bone density to support an implant. Conditions such as gum disease may need to be addressed first as part of your overall family dentist and general dentistry plan. Whether you are new to the practice or a returning patient, our team is here to guide you through every stage of care.

How Long Does the Implant Process Take?

Most patients complete treatment within several months, primarily because bone heals gradually. Dr. McKenna will walk you through a personalized timeline during your consultation.
