Permanent Tooth Replacement With Dental Implants.

From single tooth to full arch, implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth. Long‑lasting, bone‑saving, and life‑changing.

Dr. Michael A. Hunt provides dental implant consultations for patients in Stroudsburg and surrounding Monroe County communities. Dental implants may replace a single missing tooth, support a bridge, or provide additional stability for a removable or fixed denture.

Your treatment options will depend on your oral health, remaining teeth, available bone, medical history, and the type of restoration you need. During your consultation, Dr. Hunt will examine your mouth, review appropriate imaging, and explain whether dental implants are suitable for your needs.

Could You Benefit From Dental Implants ?

Many patients don’t realize that dental implants could be the solution for their missing teeth until they explore the options. Here are some of the most common reasons Dr. Hunt recommends dental implants:

You have one or more missing teeth and want a permanent, natural-looking solution
You’re tired of the discomfort, slipping, or clicking of traditional dentures
You want to preserve your jawbone and prevent the facial collapse that follows tooth loss
You have sufficient bone density for a standard implant (or want to explore alternatives like subperiosteal or zygomatic implants if you don’t)
You’re missing a tooth but don’t want to grind down adjacent healthy teeth, as you would with a bridge
You want to restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence
You’re looking for a long-term investment in your oral health that can last decades with proper care

Dental implant timing and suitability vary from patient to patient. An examination and appropriate imaging are necessary to determine whether an implant can be placed, whether additional treatment may be needed, and which restoration would be most appropriate.

Our Implant Solutions

We match implant type to your unique bone health, budget, and smile goals.

Single Tooth Implant

Titanium post placed in jawbone, topped with custom crown – independent of adjacent teeth.

Subperiosteal (On Bone) Implant

Custom‑framed implant that sits on top of the jawbone but under the gum – ideal when bone height is too low for traditional implants.

Zygomatic (On Cheekbone) Implant

Long implant anchored to the zygomatic bone (cheekbone) for patients with severe upper jawbone loss – avoids bone grafting.

Patient Education

Step‑by‑step guidance on surgery, healing, osseointegration, and home care – no surprises, better outcomes.

What to Expect: Your The Implant Process at Our Stroudsburg Office

We make getting dental implants as smooth and stress-free as possible. Here's a simple overview of what to expect:

Step 1 - Comprehensive Consultation & Imaging

Dr. Hunt will evaluate your jawbone, review 3D imaging or X-rays, and discuss your medical history and smile goals. Together, you'll determine which implant type is right for you, standard, subperiosteal, or zygomatic, based on your bone density and anatomy.

Step 2 - Implant Placement (Surgical Visit)

The implant – a small titanium post – is gently placed into your jawbone (or on the bone, or anchored to the cheekbone, depending on your case). The area is completely numbed, and sedation options are available for your comfort. Most patients are surprised by how straightforward the procedure feels.

Step 3 - Healing & Osseointegration

Over the next several months, the implant fuses with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration. This creates a rock-solid foundation that mimics your natural tooth root. During this time, we'll monitor your progress and ensure you're healing properly.

Step 4 - Abutment & Final Crown Placement

Once the implant is fully integrated, a custom-made crown is securely attached to the implant. Dr. Hunt will check the fit, color, and bite to ensure your new tooth looks and feels completely natural.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Implants

Does getting a dental implant hurt?

Not at all. The area is completely numbed before any work begins, and sedation options are available for patients who are anxious or need more complex procedures. Most patients find the recovery far more comfortable than they anticipated.

How long do dental implants last?

With proper care, dental implants can last 20 years or more – often a lifetime. They’re the most durable tooth replacement option available.

What if I don't have enough bone for a traditional implant?

That’s no longer a barrier. We offer subperiosteal (on-bone) implants for patients with insufficient bone height, and zygomatic implants anchored to the cheekbone for severe upper jawbone loss – both options avoid the need for bone grafting.

How many appointments does it take?

The implant process typically involves several visits over a few months: a consultation, the surgical placement, healing check-ups, and the final crown placement. We’ll give you a clear timeline during your consultation.

Does dental insurance cover implants?

Many dental insurance plans cover a portion of implant costs, though coverage varies. We encourage you to contact our office, and we can help you understand your coverage before your procedure.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This dentist & staff are a Godsend for me and my daughter. I looked for a good place for a few years and we are so happy to have them. They are always kind, patient and attentive. Receptionist is very sweet and always helpful! Dr. Hunt is the BEST dentist if you have TMJ or any nervousness, he is gentle and makes you comfortable, laugh, making the whole experience a relaxing one. The dental hygenists/staff are equally wonderful, respectful, kind, gentle and patient. I never feel rushed or unimportant and my daughter was there several times and she loves them too. Great personalities! Best in the poconos!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My first visit with Mike was only to look at a tooth and reschedule for removal. He seemed to empathize with the pain that I was in and instead of rescheduling the visit he pulled that tooth then and there. I had a visit just Yesterday and needed to have five removed, That was done right then and there. I love the friendly atmosphere between the doctor and the staff and how they interact with patients. We all know nobody likes the Dentist, but this is a dentist office I do recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We've been going to an awesome pediatric dentist in NJ for over 10 yrs. It was a challenge finding a decent dentist in this area. I read many bad reviews about other dentist so I was relieved to find Dr. Hunt's office. The office staff was professional and considerate.  Many dentist in this region will work on several different patients in one room, which is archaic, unhygienic and a breach of privacy (HIPAA).  The exam area in this office is partitioned so each patient has their own space, which not only gives more privacy but it's a safer practice. Dr. Hunt himself was efficient; we had little time with him in comparison to what we were used to but my child has good teeth, so there was little to discuss.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Michael A Hunt DDS family dentistry located on N 9th Street in Stroudsburg PA offered me a warm and friendly atmosphere! This was my first visit. Dr Hunt took the time to answer all of my questions and concerns about my dental care. I did not feel rushed so that he could visit with another patient. Dr Hunt returned to me by my request so that I could gain even more clarity pertaining to my dental situation. His office manager and his dental hygienist were equally as helpful to me. My cleaning went better than expected! It was a comfortable experience and my nervousness and fears had subsided.
I appreciate the professionalism of the entire staff!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is an amazing dental practice the doctor is excellent and the staff is too. After not getting dental care for over 10 years because I always had bad experiences at the dentist,  this is the only place where my cleaning was pretty much painless. For the fist time in my life my teeth were not moving and shifting afterwards, my next appointment is in fact scheduled. I highly recommend this place. They are the best I ever had.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent dentist!!! I would definitely recommend! I needed my entire top teeth pulled and I needed false teeth. I asked him if I could get fangs on my top plate and he made that happen for me. I am so happy with my new look. So pleased!!!
