Dental implants at Newark Smiles give you back more than a tooth. They restore the confidence, comfort, and natural function that come with a complete smile, using a solution designed to look beautiful and last for years to come.
Whether you’re missing one tooth or several, gaps in your smile can affect more than your appearance. They can change the way you eat, speak, and feel in everyday moments. At Newark Smiles, we believe everyone deserves a smile they feel proud of, and dental implants offer one of the most complete, long-lasting ways to rebuild what’s been lost.
For Dr. Shah, implant dentistry is personal. After losing two front teeth in a car accident at age 17, he received dental implants himself and understands what it feels like to go through the process. That experience shapes the way he cares for every implant patient, with empathy, clarity, and a deep appreciation for what a fully restored smile can mean.

A dental implant is a small titanium post placed into the jawbone to act like an artificial tooth root. Once the implant has integrated with the bone, a custom crown is attached on top to create a replacement tooth that looks, feels, and functions naturally.
Unlike dentures that rest on the gums or bridges that depend on neighboring teeth for support, implants are designed to stand on their own. They are also the only tooth replacement option that helps preserve the jawbone and reduce the bone loss that naturally follows tooth loss.
Choosing an implant dentist matters. We combine advanced technology with a patient-first approach that has earned the trust of hundreds of families across Ohio.

From CBCT imaging to implant placement to your final restoration, every step is handled right here at Newark Smiles. You can stay with one team that knows your smile, your goals, and your full treatment plan.
Dr. Shah has been placing and restoring implants for nearly two decades. Implant dentistry is not an occasional service here. It is one of the treatments our team is known for.

Your first implant consultation is complimentary, giving you the chance to ask questions, understand your options, and make an informed decision without pressure.
We offer the full range of implant services in-house, from your initial consultation and 3D imaging to placement, restoration, and follow-up care. That means fewer referrals, fewer extra appointments, and one trusted team guiding your care from start to finish.
Replace one missing tooth with a custom implant crown designed to blend naturally with your smile.
Restore several missing teeth with a stable solution that does not rely on adjacent healthy teeth for support.
Replace an entire upper or lower arch with a complete smile supported by a small number of strategically placed implants.
Enjoy the coverage of a denture with the added stability and confidence that comes from implant support.
Fill a larger gap without placing extra strain on the healthy teeth around it.
Rebuild the bone foundation needed to support a future implant when natural bone volume is limited.

We start by listening to your goals, taking a close look at what’s going on, and walking you through your options. Your visit includes in-house CBCT imaging so we can see a complete 3D view of your jaw, bone structure, and implant possibilities.
Every smile is different, so your plan is built around your anatomy, goals, health, and timeline. Before anything begins, your treatment coordinator will review costs, insurance details, and financing options so you know exactly what to expect.
Dr. Shah carefully places the titanium implant post into your jawbone. Most patients are surprised by how manageable the procedure feels, and sedation options are available for anyone who would like extra support during treatment.
Over the next few months, your implant naturally integrates with the bone to create a strong foundation for your new tooth. We’ll monitor your healing along the way and make sure everything is progressing as planned.
Once the implant has healed, your custom crown, bridge, or denture is attached. The result is a strong, natural-looking restoration designed to help you eat, smile, and speak with confidence again.
Questions about dental implants? We’ve got answers.
Many adults in good general health, with adequate jawbone density are candidates for dental implants. During your free consultation, we’ll use CBCT imaging to evaluate your bone structure and give you an honest recommendation. If bone grafting is needed before implant placement, we can often complete that step in-house.
With proper care and regular checkups, dental implants can last 20 years or longer. Unlike other tooth replacement options, implants don't decay and become stronger over time as they integrate with your bone. The crown on top may eventually need replacement, but the implant itself is built to endure.
Most patients find implant treatment more comfortable than they expected. Local anesthetic is used during the procedure, and sedation options are available if you would like additional relaxation. After treatment, most discomfort can typically be managed with standard post-op instructions and over-the-counter pain relief.
The cost of dental implants depends on how many teeth are being replaced, whether bone grafting or a sinus lift is needed, and what type of final restoration is used. We’ll provide a clear cost breakdown before treatment begins and help you explore insurance coverage and financing through Cherry.
Some insurance plans provide partial coverage for dental implants, while others may cover certain parts of the process, such as the crown or related procedures. Newark Smiles is in-network with Delta Dental, Cigna, MetLife, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Humana, and more, and our team will help you understand your specific benefits.
A single implant replaces one missing tooth, while All-on-X is designed to replace an entire upper or lower arch of teeth using a small number of strategically placed implants. All-on-X can be a strong option for patients who are missing most or all of their teeth and want a more stable alternative to removable dentures.
