We Achieve Healthy, Complete Smiles with Solid and Natural-looking Dental Implants
Dental implants are advanced teeth replacements that replace one or multiple missing or failing teeth. A dental implant is embedded in the jawbone to rival the stability of your natural teeth when talking, eating, or smiling—no more slippage or falling out when using your teeth. Dental implants remain in place at all times!
Those missing teeth in and around Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania, can rely on Heritage Dental for high-quality dental implants. Led by Dr. Beth Skovron, our office uses advanced technology and techniques to place and restore dental implants with remarkable success. Please schedule an appointment today with our office for implant dental care you can trust.
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are the only tooth replacements embedded in the jawbone. This unique design allows implants to function like natural teeth, offering unparalleled stability when used.
The dental implant system replaces your tooth with three components.
- The implant post: This is a titanium or zirconia post surgically implanted in the jawbone to replace the root portion of the natural tooth. Over time, the biocompatible titanium post fuses with the jawbone through osseointegration to form a lifetime bond.
- Abutment: The dentist attaches this small metal connector to add height to your implant, which is submerged in the jawbone. An abutment juts out of the gum line to connect the implant to the replacement teeth.
- Dental crown: The dentist tops off your implant with a specially handcrafted dental crown, giving your tooth immediate function and aesthetics. Your implants can also hold a custom-fitted bridge or denture to replace several missing teeth.
What should I expect from the dental implant treatment?
Your treatment starts with a consultation with Dr. Skovron. We’ll examine your oral health, particularly the jawbone, to ensure sufficient height and volume to support a dental implant. If not, you’ll need bone grafting to rebuild your bone. Our dentist uses top-of-the-line dental imaging to plan your implant treatment and determine the optimal position and angle to place your implants.
Your implant surgery is a painless and seamless procedure in our office. The dentist uses highly effective pain management techniques to ensure a comfortable experience. We also use 3D-guided implant surgery to place your implants with precision for optimal treatment outcomes.
After your oral surgery, your implants will need about six months to heal and fuse with the jawbone. After this phase, you’ll return to our office to place an abutment. During this appointment, we’ll also take digital scans of your tooth to create a blueprint for fabricating your implant restoration.
The final step is to cap off your implant with a customized dental crown or other restoration. Your new tooth doesn’t feel, look, or function like a replacement tooth. It mimics your natural in every way, from function to appearance.

Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium roots, that are replaced with in the jawbone to resemble a tooth or group of teeth. A screw is inserted through the gums and into the jawbone. A porcelain crown is then attached to the screw to become the new tooth or teeth. They can be used to support dental prosthesis including crowns, dentures, and bridges. Today’s treatments are so natural looking, no one will know you had surgery. There’s approximately a 95% success rate for all implants. With modern advances in dentistry, some implants can be restored immediately with life like all-porcelain crowns. For more details ask your dentist.
