Dental implants in Nashua, NH
Permanent replacement teeth that look, feel, and work like your own.
From a single implant to a full arch with All-on-4.
Dental implants explained
A dental implant replaces a missing tooth from the root up. A small post is placed in the jawbone, where it bonds with the bone over time and becomes a stable foundation. A crown, bridge, or full set of teeth is then attached on top, so the result looks and works like a natural tooth.
Because an implant is anchored in the jaw, it does not slip the way some dentures can, and it does not rely on the teeth next to it the way a traditional bridge does. That stability means you can eat, speak, and smile with confidence, and it helps keep the jawbone healthy where a tooth was lost.
At Implants and Root Canals Inc., we offer everything from single implants to All-on-4, a full arch of replacement teeth supported by four implants. We place premium Straumann implants.
Every case starts with an exam and imaging in our office, so Dr. Balani can confirm that implants are the right fit for your mouth before treatment begins.

Am I a candidate for dental implants?
Most adults who are missing one or more teeth can be candidates. Every case starts with an exam and imaging in our office, so Dr. Balani can confirm that implants are the right fit for your mouth before treatment begins.
Healthy gums
Healthy gums matter most, because they surround and protect the implant once it is placed.
Enough jawbone
The implant needs enough bone to support it. If you do not have enough jawbone, a bone graft can rebuild the area so it can support an implant. Read more in our guide, Will I need a bone graft for dental implants?
Understanding why the tooth was lost
Our team is trained to find the cause, whether it was decay, gum disease, or an injury, so your implant has the healthiest possible foundation and the problem does not repeat elsewhere.
The dental implant procedure
Implant treatment happens in stages, with healing time in between. Here is what to expect.
Step 1
Consult
A full exam, imaging in our office, and a conversation about your goals, so we can tell whether a single implant, an implant bridge, or All-on-4 fits you best.
Step 2
Plan
Dr. Balani maps out where each implant will go, lets you know whether a bone graft is needed first, and sets a comfort plan with you. Sedation is available.
Step 3
Place
The implant post is placed in the jawbone. Over the next few months it bonds with the bone and becomes a stable base.
Step 4
Restore
Your custom crown, bridge, or full arch is attached. From there, regular brushing, flossing, and cleanings keep it healthy.
Options for replacing missing teeth
Even one missing tooth can cause changes over time. A gap can make some foods harder to eat and some words harder to say, neighboring teeth can drift into the space, and the jawbone under the gap gradually shrinks. The right option depends on how many teeth are missing, the health of your gums and bone, and what matters most to you.
Dental implants
An implant replaces a tooth from the root up. It is the option that looks, feels, and works most like a natural tooth. It does not rely on the teeth next to it, and it helps keep the jawbone healthy. Implants need healthy gums and enough bone, and treatment happens in stages with healing time in between.
Bridges
A bridge fills a gap with a replacement tooth anchored to crowns on the teeth on either side. It is fixed in place, and it usually takes fewer steps than an implant. The tradeoff is that the neighboring teeth are reshaped to hold the crowns. A bridge can also be supported by implants instead of natural teeth.
Dentures and partial dentures
A denture is a removable set of replacement teeth. A full denture replaces every tooth in an arch, and a partial denture fills gaps between natural teeth. Dentures involve no surgery and can be made in fewer steps. Because they rest on the gums, dentures can shift and may need adjusting as your mouth changes over time.
Replacing a full arch
If you are missing most or all of your teeth in an arch, All-on-4 replaces the whole arch with a fixed set of teeth supported by four implants. The teeth stay in place, so they do not need to come out at night like a traditional denture.
How to choose
Dr. Balani will examine your mouth, use imaging in our office, and walk you through each option.
Post-op care for dental implants
After the implant post is placed, it bonds with the bone over the next few months and becomes a stable base. Here is how to look after it.
Right after treatment
Some soreness afterward is normal and usually short-lived. Before treatment, Dr. Balani talks with you about pain management and sets a plan around your comfort level.
While the implant heals
Treatment happens in stages, with a healing period of a few months while the implant bonds with the bone. Dr. Balani will give you a timeline for your case.
Everyday care
Brush and floss your implants like natural teeth, and keep up with regular cleanings and exams so the gums and bone around them stay healthy.
Long-term
With good care at home and regular checkups, implants can last for many years.
