Hear From Happy Patients

I've been going to Coral Dental for 15 years!! Dr. Isaac was great and recently sold the practice to Dr. Ravi Patel!! I've already seen him a few times for procedures and he is SO nice, welcoming, and funny!! He actually listens to your concerns and makes you feel super comfortable the whole time which is HUGE for a dentist!! He's also planning on revamping the office space and I'm honestly so excited to see everything he does with it!! If you're looking for a local dentist, definitely give him a chance!! You will seriously be so happy you did!!! Highly recommend!!!

I have been a patient of Coral Dental for some time and have always been very pleased. Today I had the pleasure of meeting Dr Patel and the hygienist Zaineb and the rest of the very friendly staff. Dr. Patel gave me a thorough examination and Zaineb gave me a refreshing and thorough cleaning, and recommended the best flossing and brushing for me to follow and the best toothpaste for me to use. I am extremely pleased with Coral Dental and highly recommend them!

I recently updated my insurance and Dr Patel was a recommended dentist from a family friend that was luckily covered under my plan. I came in for a cleaning and consult and was met with a level of care and compassion that I have never received in my years of dental care. Dr Patel recently took over and is bringing a breath of fresh air to what dental care should be. I will definitely be back and I will definitely be recommending him to all my friends and families.

Had an emergency on a Saturday and my regular dentist was out of town. Was calling around and coral dental was able to take me. From my first phone call to the appointment to check out - top notch service! Cannot say enough good things about this practice. Did I mention that I have EXTREME dental anxiety? Dr Patel was so patient and kind. Everyone was. They really want to be sure you are comfortable and pain free. 100% would recommend this practice!

What Types of Dental Implants Do We Offer?

You do not need to know which option you need before coming in. We will examine your smile, explain the entire process, and help you compare the available choices:
Single-Tooth Dental Implant
A single dental implant replaces one missing or unsalvageable tooth. The implant post supports a custom crown, creating a fixed replacement without relying on the neighboring teeth for support.
For patients who are missing or need to replace most or all of their teeth, multiple implants can support a complete set of replacement teeth in the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both. Your treatment plan will be based on your oral health, bone support, and restorative needs.
All-on-4 uses four strategically placed implants to support a full arch of replacement teeth. It may be considered for patients with extensive tooth loss who want a more stable alternative to traditional removable dentures.
All-on-6 follows a similar full-arch approach but uses six implants for support. Whether four or six implants are more appropriate will depend on factors such as your bone structure, bite, and planned restoration.

Understanding the Cost of Dental Implants in Salem, MA

The cost of dental implants varies depending on how many teeth need to be replaced, the type of restoration you need, and whether an extraction or bone graft is required. Before the treatment begins, we will explain the estimated cost and what is included so you can make an informed decision.

Does dental care insurance cover implants?

Coverage depends on your plan. Some benefits may apply to certain parts of your treatment, and our team can help you review what may be covered.

Are financing options available for all our patients?

Coral Dental in Salem, MA offers flexible financing and payment options to make the cost more manageable. We will talk you through the available choices before you move forward.

What Happens During
the Dental Implant Procedure?

Before Surgery: Plan and Prepare

Before implant placement, we will review your oral health, medical history, and any necessary imaging. Our dentist will confirm the plan, answer your questions, and give you clear instructions on how to prepare for your appointment.

Surgery Day: Place the Implant

Our expert doctors numb the area with local anesthesia before the implant post is carefully positioned in the jawbone. The length of the dental implant surgery will depend on how many implants are being placed and the complexity of your case.

Days 1-3: Early Recovery

Some swelling, pain or minor bleeding may occur during the first few days. Follow the aftercare instructions our office gives you including eating softer foods, keeping the area clean, and avoiding smoking, straws, or anything that could disturb the site.

Months 1-6: Healing and Final Restoration

Over the next few months, we wait until the implant gradually bonds with the surrounding jawbone. Once healing is complete, we attach your custom crown, bridge, or denture to restore your confident smile. The exact timeline depends on how fast your body heals.

Frequently
Asked Questions

Dental implants are usually small titanium posts surgically placed in the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. Once they bond with the bone, an abutment connects them to a crown, bridge, or denture designed to look and function like natural teeth. At Coral Dental, our expert care throughout your implant treatment can help restore everyday function, support a healthy smile, and help you feel confident again.

Many adults with one or more missing teeth may be candidates for dental implants. Your dentist will look at your gums, jawbone, overall health, and ability to care for the implant before recommending treatment. Medical conditions, dentures, or some bone loss do not automatically rule you out.
The affected area is numbed during implant placement, and additional sedation may be considered when appropriate. Some soreness, tenderness, or swelling can occur afterward, but you will receive instructions to help you manage your recovery with confidence.
The full process often takes several months because the implant needs time to bond with the jawbone before the final crown, bridge, or denture is attached. Your timeline may be shorter or longer depending on your plan and how your body heals. Call our practice in Salem, MA to book an appointment and understand what your personalized plan and timeline may look like.
Early tenderness and swelling usually settle as the area begins to recover, but healing beneath the gums continues for much longer. The implant may take several months to fully integrate with the surrounding bone.
You may still be able to receive dental implants. Your dentist will assess the amount and condition of the available bone and explain whether additional attention may be needed to create enough support for the implant.
Yes. Dental implants can support or stabilize a denture, helping reduce movement while eating and speaking. Depending on your needs, the denture may be removable or fixed in place.
It usually begins with a few simple steps which include an examination and a personalized plan. The implant is then placed in the jawbone and allowed to heal before an abutment and custom crown, bridge, or denture are attached. We understand that most people worry about this stage, so our experienced team explains each step clearly and helps you stay calm throughout the process.
With good oral hygiene, regular dental visits, and healthy gums, dental implants can function for many years. The crown, bridge, or denture attached to the implant may need maintenance or replacement over time.
Not necessarily. Your dentist will first determine whether the natural tooth can be saved. If removal is the better option, an implant may be considered, but the timing will depend on the health of your gums, bone, and the area around the tooth.
Coral Dental in Salem, MA offers oral conscious sedation for suitable patients. Our board certified dentists will review your health history, anxiety level, and planned procedure to determine whether sedation is appropriate for you.
