Medically reviewed by Dr. David Faust, D.M.D.
Missing teeth affect more than just your smile. They can make it difficult to bite and chew comfortably, change the way you speak, and alter your facial structure over time. Dental implants have become the standard of care for replacing missing teeth because they address all of these issues at once — restoring both function and appearance in a way that no other solution fully replicates. As part of our broader restorative dentistry services, our team at Bucks County Smiles provides dental implants in Yardley, PA with the precision and care that a long-term investment in your health deserves.
Dental implants mimic the natural functioning of teeth remarkably well, consisting of three essential parts: a post, an abutment, and a restoration. These components are skillfully integrated into the jawbone, offering exceptional versatility for replacing multiple missing teeth.
Our skilled doctor, Dr. David Faust, takes you through the complexities of this procedure. With his expertise and the latest surgical advancements, we ensure the precise placement of your dental implant. This allows us to carefully customize the implant process to target your specific dental needs and desired smile, ensuring the realization of your perfect smile.
Not every patient needs the same solution, and dental implants are designed with that in mind. A single implant replaces one missing tooth with a titanium post and a custom crown that looks and functions like the natural tooth it replaces. When several adjacent teeth are missing, an implant-supported bridge provides a stable, well-fitted restoration anchored by two implant posts rather than relying on neighboring teeth for support.
For patients who are missing many teeth, implant-supported dentures offer a secure fit that eliminates the slipping and dietary limitations that come with traditional removable dentures. And for those who have lost an entire arch of teeth, full arch dental implants provide a fixed, permanent set of teeth that function like natural ones — no removal, no adhesive, no compromise. During your consultation, our team will evaluate your anatomy, bone density, and health history to determine which option is the right fit for you.
Whether you're seeking a single dental implant, implant-supported bridges, or full arch dental implants, our commitment to precision and excellence remains unwavering.
Dr. David Faust, D.M.D. has dedicated his career to reconstructive and implant dentistry, earning a reputation that draws patients to Yardley from across the country. A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine practicing since 1988, Dr. Faust has trained elite dentists worldwide through faculty appointments at PAC~live, The Hornbrook Group, and The Aesthetic Masters. He is supported by Dr. Kristen Scholl and Dr. Aimee Dehbozorgi, whose collaborative involvement ensures continuity of care across every stage of your treatment.
What sets our practice apart is how we treat the whole patient. As an integrative dental medicine practice, we coordinate with your primary care physician and medical team throughout your implant treatment, bringing a level of collaboration that most dental offices do not offer. We use advanced technology at every stage, including CBCT 3D imaging for precise implant planning and CEREC same-day restorations to minimize the number of visits you need. Every treatment plan is built around your anatomy, health history, and goals — guided by decades of hands-on reconstructive expertise.
The benefits of dental implants go well beyond how your smile looks. Because implants are anchored directly into the jawbone, they stimulate bone tissue the way natural tooth roots do — which means they actively prevent the bone loss that typically follows tooth extraction. That preserved bone structure keeps your facial contours intact and protects the health of neighboring teeth, which can shift or overcrowd when a gap is left untreated.
Day to day, implants function like your natural teeth. You can eat what you want, speak without hesitation, and maintain your oral hygiene routine without any special steps. There are no restrictions, no adjustments, and nothing to take out at night. For patients who have been managing with dentures, a bridge, or simply living with a gap, the difference in daily comfort and confidence tends to be immediate and significant.
