Dental Implants in Philadelphia, PA

A Permanent, Natural-Looking Solution for Missing Teeth

Missing teeth don't just affect your smile — over time, they can lead to bone loss, shifting teeth, and changes in how you chew and speak. Dental implants are the only tooth-replacement option that replaces the entire tooth, root included, giving you a permanent, natural-looking solution that doesn't rely on adhesives or removable appliances. At Center City Dental, located in the heart of Rittenhouse Square in Center City Philadelphia, our team provides expert implant dentistry designed to be stable, durable, and built to last for years.

How Dental Implants Work

Implants are artificial tooth roots — typically made of titanium — that are surgically anchored into the gum and jawbone. Over time, the implant fuses with the bone through a process called osseointegration, creating a foundation as strong and stable as a natural tooth root. A custom-crafted replacement tooth is then permanently secured on top, matched to blend naturally with your smile.

Unlike removable dentures, implants don't shift, slip, or require adhesive. And unlike a traditional dental bridge, they don't require grinding down healthy adjacent teeth for support. With proper care, implants can last decades — though the visible crown may occasionally need re-tightening or replacement due to normal wear over many years.

Our Center City Philadelphia dental office offers the following implant procedures:

There are various types of dental implant procedures, in our Philadelphia, PA office we provide the following implant procedures.

Implant-Supported Bridges

Implant-supported bridges use dental implants instead of crowns or other frameworks for support. The implants are positioned into your jaw, forming a solid anchor as the bone and metal implant fuse together over time. Typically, one implant is placed for each missing tooth, and these implants hold your bridge securely in position. Your bridge is custom-crafted to match the color, shape, and size of your surrounding teeth, then attached to the implants. Considered the most stable bridge option, an implant-supported bridge usually requires two procedures: first, placing the implants in the jawbone, and second, attaching the bridge itself. Patients throughout Philadelphia and the Rittenhouse Square area choose this option to enjoy a healthy new smile and renewed confidence in their bite.

Single Tooth Implant

Replacing a single tooth at our Center City Philadelphia office lets you avoid a conventional bridge while preserving your adjacent healthy teeth. Single-tooth implants don't decay or require root canal treatment, and they have the highest long-term success rates of any single-tooth replacement option available today.

Same-Day Dental Implants

Implant technology has come a long way — it's now possible to complete a dental implant procedure in a single visit as part of our teeth in a day options, saving you time and helping you heal faster. That means less time off work and less time before you can enjoy the foods you love again. As part of our full range of dental services in Center City Philadelphia, the size, type, and method of your implant will vary depending on your needs. Our team will walk you through what's right for you following your consultation.

If an implant isn't the right fit for every tooth in your smile, we also offer porcelain veneers as a cosmetic alternative for teeth that don't need full replacement.

What to Expect: The Dental Implant Process

Step 1 — Consultation & Imaging. We evaluate your oral health, bone density, and jaw structure using a dental exam and imaging to determine which implant option fits your needs.

Step 2 — Implant Placement. The implant post is surgically placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia or sedation, depending on your comfort level and the complexity of your case.

Step 3 — Healing & Osseointegration. Over the following weeks to months, the implant fuses with your jawbone, creating a stable, permanent foundation. (Same-day candidates skip much of this waiting period and leave with a functional temporary tooth.)

Step 4 — Restoration. Once healing is complete, your custom-crafted crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the implant, completing your new, natural-looking smile.

Am I a Candidate for Dental Implants?

Most patients in generally good oral and overall health are candidates for dental implants, including those who:

Are missing one or more teeth due to decay, injury, or gum disease
Have adequate jawbone density to support an implant (bone grafting can help patients who don't)
Want a permanent alternative to removable dentures
Are looking to replace an existing bridge without relying on natural teeth for support

If a damaged or infected tooth needs to come out before you're ready for an implant, our team also handles wisdom tooth and tooth extractions, including emergency dental care if you're dealing with sudden pain or a broken tooth.

The best way to know for sure is a consultation and evaluation with our Center City Philadelphia team — we'll assess your bone structure and oral health and walk you through which implant option fits your goals.

Dental Implants FAQ

How much do dental implants cost?

Implant cost depends on how many teeth you're replacing and which procedure — single tooth, implant-supported bridge, or same-day implants — fits your needs. During your consultation, we'll evaluate your case and provide a clear, personalized treatment plan with pricing.

‍

Are dental implants painful?

Most patients report less discomfort than expected. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia or sedation, and any post-procedure soreness is typically manageable with over-the-counter pain relief and generally subsides within a few days.

‍

How long do dental implants last?

With proper oral hygiene and regular dental visits, the implant post itself can last decades — many patients keep theirs for life. The visible crown may need replacement after many years of normal wear.
