Precise Implant Placement by Board-Certified Oral Surgeons at Lewis Wharf
If you are missing a tooth, dealing with a failing tooth, or frustrated with a loose denture, dental implants can provide a stable long-term solution. What matters is whether you have enough bone, how the implant is planned, and whether the surgery is being done with the final restoration in mind.
At Boston Oral Surgical & Endodontic Associates, dental implants are placed by board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeons using 3D imaging, digital surgical planning, and advanced techniques in a dedicated Boston specialty setting. Whether you need one tooth replaced or want a second opinion on a more complex case, we make sure you understand what is needed, what can wait, and what the sequence should be before anything moves forward.
Why Boston Patients Choose BOSEA for Dental Implants
Many offices in Boston offer dental implants. BOSEA is different because implant planning, bone grafting, sedation, and surgical evaluation happen in one specialty setting, with the final restoration in mind from the beginning. For patients deciding between saving a tooth, removing it, or replacing it with an implant, that level of planning can make the process clearer and the outcome more predictable.
Board-Certified Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons
Board certification in oral and maxillofacial surgery reflects advanced hospital-based surgical training beyond dental school. That level of training matters when bone volume is limited, anatomy is complex, or treatment involves extraction, grafting, or full-arch reconstruction.
3D CBCT Imaging and Computer-Guided Placement
Your implant is planned in three dimensions before surgery begins. We use 3D cone beam CT imaging to evaluate bone volume, bone density, sinus anatomy, and nerve position, then turn that information into a digital surgical plan. That leads to more accurate placement, clearer planning, and fewer surprises.
Bone Grafting and PRF/PRP Regenerative Support
Some patients need bone grafting before or at the time of implant placement. BOSEA performs bone grafting on-site and uses Platelet-Rich Fibrin and Platelet-Rich Plasma when appropriate to support healing after surgery.
IV Sedation in a Private Surgical Suite
For patients who want a more relaxed experience, or who are having a longer procedure, IV sedation is available in our private surgical suites at Lewis Wharf.
Oral Surgery and Endodontic Expertise in One Practice
For some patients, the first question is not how to replace the tooth. It is whether the tooth should be saved at all. Because BOSEA has both oral surgery and endodontic specialists in one practice, that question can be evaluated in the same setting.
Restorative Coordination Built Into the Process
Every implant at BOSEA is placed with the final restoration in mind. We work directly with your general dentist or prosthodontist throughout the process so the implant is positioned for the tooth that will ultimately sit on top of it, not just for the surgical step.
What Dental Implants Can Replace
Dental implants are small titanium posts placed in the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Once they integrate with the bone, they support a custom restoration that looks natural, feels stable, and functions more like a real tooth than a removable option.
Single Tooth Implant
One implant supports one crown, replacing a missing tooth without relying on or altering neighboring teeth.
Implant-Supported Bridge
When several teeth are missing in a row, implants can support a fixed bridge and provide a stable, non-removable solution.
Implant-Supported Dentures
If your denture slips, limits what you can eat, or affects how you speak, implants can anchor it more securely and improve day-to-day comfort.
Full-Arch Implant Reconstruction
For patients missing most or all teeth in the upper or lower arch, a full-arch implant approach can support a complete fixed prosthesis on four to six implants.

Your Implant Process at BOSEA
- Consultation and 3D Imaging
Your first visit includes a clinical exam, review of your medical and dental history, and 3D CBCT imaging. We look at bone volume, gum health, anatomy, and bite considerations, and determine whether extraction, grafting, or another preparatory step is needed.
- Digital Treatment Planning
Using your 3D imaging data, we plan implant placement before surgery begins. This improves accuracy and helps create a smoother restorative process.
- Implant Placement
Your implant is placed using computer-guided technique in a private surgical suite. PRF or PRP regenerative support is used when appropriate. IV sedation is available for patients who want a more relaxed experience.
- Healing and Temporary Restoration
The implant integrates with the bone over the following months. When needed, we coordinate temporary solutions so you are not left without a functional plan during healing.
- Final Restoration
Once integration is complete, your restorative dentist or prosthodontist places the final crown, bridge, or implant-supported prosthesis.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Implants in Boston
How much do dental implants cost in Boston, MA?
The cost of a dental implant depends on several factors, including whether extraction or bone grafting is needed, how many implants are being placed, and what type of final restoration is planned. After your consultation and 3D imaging, BOSEA provides a clear treatment estimate so you understand the scope and cost before moving forward.
Are dental implants painful?
Implant placement is performed under local anesthesia. IV sedation is available for patients who want a more relaxed experience or are undergoing longer procedures. Most patients describe recovery as soreness and mild swelling that improves significantly within the first several days.
How long does the dental implant process take?
The timeline varies by case. Some patients are ready for implant placement within weeks of their consultation. Others need extraction, bone grafting, or staged treatment first. Once placed, the implant typically heals for several months before the final restoration is attached.
Can I get dental implants if I have bone loss?
Bone loss does not automatically rule out implants. 3D CBCT imaging allows us to assess the quantity and quality of available bone. Many patients with moderate bone loss qualify for implants after bone grafting.
What is PRF and why is it used during implant surgery?
Platelet-Rich Fibrin is a regenerative concentrate made from a small sample of your own blood, processed just before surgery. It contains growth factors that support tissue healing and bone integration around the implant. BOSEA uses PRF and PRP when clinically appropriate to support healing after implant placement.
What is computer-guided implant placement?
Computer-guided placement means the position, angle, and depth of the implant is mapped digitally using 3D CBCT imaging before the procedure begins. This improves placement accuracy and helps make the final restoration more predictable.
Can implants stabilize a loose denture?
Yes. Implant-supported dentures anchor a previously removable appliance using implants, improving stability during eating and speaking. For patients living with a loose or uncomfortable denture, this can make a major difference in daily function.
Am I too old for dental implants?
Age alone is not usually a disqualifying factor. Overall health, healing capacity, and available bone matter more than age. Many healthy adults in their 70s and 80s are strong candidates for implant treatment.
Do I need to see my general dentist before coming to BOSEA?
No. You can schedule directly with BOSEA for an implant consultation. We coordinate with your general dentist or prosthodontist for the final restoration. If you do not currently have a restorative provider, we can help connect you with one.
What if I am not sure whether my tooth can be saved or needs to be extracted?
This is one of the most common reasons patients come to BOSEA. Because we have both oral surgery and endodontic specialists in one practice, we can evaluate a failing tooth and help determine whether root canal treatment or extraction and implant planning is the better path.
Can I get a second opinion on an implant or extraction recommendation?
Yes. BOSEA welcomes patients seeking a second opinion on implant treatment, extractions, bone grafting, or full-arch reconstruction.
