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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
