Missing teeth in or near Milford, MA? At David A. Goodman, DMD Alan C. Ko, DMD Advanced Cosmetic & Prosthetic Dentistry, Dr. Alan Ko restores confident smiles with carefully planned dental implants, using advanced technology and a gentle, patient-first approach.
A dental implant is a small titanium post placed in your jawbone by Dr. Alan Ko. It acts like a new tooth root. Your bone fuses to the implant, creating a strong base for a custom crown, bridge, or denture that looks and feels like a natural tooth.
Most healthy adults qualify. Dr. Ko checks your gums, jawbone density, and medical history. If the bone is thin, he may recommend bone grafting first. Certain conditions, like past head and neck radiation or uncontrolled diabetes, may reduce success.
At our Milford office, implants are planned with 3D CT imaging and computer-designed surgical guides. This careful planning supports safety, precision, and comfort. Dr. Ko uses a pain-free local anesthesia technique, with most patients needing only OTC pain relief.
For a full upper bridge (All-on-X/All-on-4), fees often range from $25,000 to $35,000. In our Milford practice, a full arch usually uses 6 well-spaced implants for better support than 4 small implants crowded in front.
After placement, implants usually need 3–6 months for your bone to fuse to them. With solid bone, healthy gums, and well-designed restorations, implants can last decades—often a lifetime. Many can even outlast natural teeth when properly cared for.
Brush twice daily, clean around your implants, avoid chewing very hard items, and visit us in Milford regularly. Implants are a long-term investment; insurance may cover part of the treatment, and our team can help explore payment and financing options.
