Missing or damaged teeth can make it harder to enjoy everyday things like eating, speaking, and smiling with confidence. At Friendly Smiles Center in Mount Laurel, we offer dental implants to help you reclaim a strong, natural-looking smile that feels like your own teeth again.
Led by Dr. Robert Chase, DMD, our team focuses on comfort, clear communication, and long-term results so you can make decisions about your care with confidence and feel at ease every step of the way
Dental implants are a long-term solution for replacing one tooth, several teeth, or stabilizing dentures. They are designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth, allowing you to smile and chew comfortably without worrying about slipping or removable appliances.
At Friendly Smiles Center, we combine advanced digital technology with a warm, personal approach so your treatment is both precise and as relaxed as possible.
Some benefits of dental implants can include:
Dr. Chase is experienced with Nobel Biocare dental implants and pays close attention to both function and aesthetics, so your restored teeth feel comfortable and look like a healthy part of your smile.
Your visit begins with a thorough, friendly consultation. Dr. Chase will listen to your concerns, review your medical and dental history, and take detailed digital images to evaluate your bone and surrounding teeth. He will explain your options in plain language, answer your questions, and involve you in choosing the best plan for your needs and goals.
If dental implants are right for you, treatment is completed in stages. A small titanium post is placed in the jawbone to act as a new tooth root, followed by a healing period. Later, a custom crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the implant. With our advanced digital technology and in-house lab, we can design and craft restorations with high precision, often reducing the number of visits and eliminating the need for temporary crowns.
Throughout your care, we prioritize comfort with a calm environment, gentle techniques, and sedation options for patients who feel nervous or have had difficult past experiences at the dentist.
Dental implant treatment is a significant investment in your health and confidence, and where you go for care makes a real difference. At Friendly Smiles Center, we combine technology, experience, and personal attention under one roof.
Our in-house dental laboratory and digital tools, including Primescan, allow us to design and create beautiful, well-fitting restorations with impressive accuracy. This means fewer appointments, less guesswork, and a smoother experience for you.
Patients often share that they appreciate Dr. Chase’s thoroughness and gentle manner, along with the friendliness of our team and the calming feel of our office. From blankets and in-chair TVs to flexible scheduling with evening hours and a range of payment options, everything is set up to help you feel cared for as a person, not just a set of teeth.
Dental implants are small titanium posts that are placed in the jawbone where teeth are missing. The bone gradually bonds with the implant, creating a stable base. Once healed, a custom crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the implant so it looks and functions like a natural tooth.
Many adults with missing or failing teeth can be candidates for dental implants, especially if they are in generally good health and have adequate bone to support an implant. During your consultation, Dr. Chase will review your medical history, examine your mouth, and take digital images to determine if dental implants are appropriate for you or if another option would be better.
Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the process feels. Local anesthesia is used during the procedure, and sedation options are available for those who feel anxious. Some soreness afterward is normal but usually manageable with recommended home care. Our team will give you clear instructions and support to keep you as comfortable as possible.
With good oral hygiene and regular dental visits, dental implants are designed as a long-term solution. Daily brushing and flossing, along with professional cleanings and checkups, help keep the implant and surrounding gums healthy.
Unlike traditional dentures, dental implants are fixed in place, so they do not slip or move when you talk or eat. They also help support the jawbone, which can reduce bone loss over time. Compared to a traditional bridge, an implant can replace a missing tooth without relying on or reshaping neighboring teeth.
Yes. At Friendly Smiles Center, we carefully match the color and shape of your implant-supported crown or restoration to your surrounding teeth. Our in-house lab and digital design tools allow for detailed customization so your new tooth blends seamlessly with your smile.
Friendly Smiles Center accepts most dental insurance plans, excluding Medicaid. Coverage for dental implants can vary by plan, so our team will help you understand your benefits and discuss flexible payment options to make your treatment as manageable as possible.
