Your Best Choice for Missing Teeth: Dental Implants
You no longer have to settle with only removable or short-term solutions such as partial dentures or bridges after you have lost one or several teeth. Now, you have the option of replacing your missing teeth permanently with dental implants. Because they are solid and durable, dental implants look and feel like natural teeth. They are similar to genuine teeth in their shape and design. Dental Implants consist of a titanium post (much like a tooth root, it gets incorporated into the jawbone as you heal) and a post and crown/bridge that fits over the top of the titanium post. Dental Implants are used to restore the functionality and aesthetic of the smile in a natural looking way. Did you know dental implants are the most recommended tooth replacement option?

Are Dental Implants Right For You? Find Out!
The Benefits of Dental Implants
In terms of esthetic appearance, dental implants are similar to natural teeth because of the way they feel and look. Our custom made crowns and bridges will be designed to perfectly match your existing teeth in size, shape, and color. The titanium that is used in the post of your dental implants is biocompatible and will integrate with the bone just as a natural tooth root would. Additionally, dental implants can greatly improve your overall health by allowing you to eat a wider variety of foods by giving you a set of teeth that are not prone to shifting or falling out. Most of our patients are surprised to learn that this life-changing solution at our office is also effective, painless, and convenient!
A new smile can be yours in just one day
Could you imagine how you would feel if every time you smiled at yourself in the mirror, instead of noticing missing or failing teeth, you saw a beautiful, healthy smile? What if you did not have to worry about your dentures falling out when eating dinner with your family or friends? You can live your dream every day by waking up with amazing, functional teeth fixed securely in your mouth. These new teeth will allow you to laugh, smile, and eat with confidence every day. In as little as 2-3 appointments, we can transform your smile and your life by providing you with full mouth dental implants that you won't believe were possible.
We Can Help Tackle Severe Bone Loss
In some cases, bone loss in the upper jaw can become so extensive that it is not possible to replace missing teeth using conventional dental implant treatment. The good news is that our oral surgeons can provide an amazing solution to this problem with zygomatic dental implants. As a result of this procedure, there is no need for bone grafting, making it possible to implant a full arch of new teeth. Despite the fact that you may have already been told that you are not a candidate for dental implants, you may want to consult our experts concerning this revolutionary new solution. Our dentists have extensive knowledge and the expertise to handle complex dental cases.
With extensive knowledge and expertise, oral and maxillofacial surgeons are able to deal with a wide array of complex dental cases. Our oral surgeons are one of a few in the country who routinely place zygomatic dental implants as part of our full mouth treatments. It means that through the use of this specialized solution, we can give patients, who were previously told that they wouldn't qualify for dental implants, a new chance at life and a new smile.

Types of Implants
Single or Conventional Dental Implant
Are you just missing one tooth? Or just a few? This may be the solution for you. The benefit of a dental implant is that you can enjoy the look, feel, and function of a natural tooth. You will no longer have to worry about the gap(s) in your smile. You’ll also be able to chew with your single dental implant as if it were a normal tooth! The added benefit is that implants stimulate the jaw bone so you won’t have to worry about bone loss.
Mini Implants
Mini implants are only used in cases where a conventional implant would not fit. Mini implants are much like conventional implants but they are smaller..The bottom line is, every mouth is different. This is not a one-size-fits-all situation, which is why mini implants are used in certain cases. People who are unable to have traditional dental implants may be able to have mini dental implants as an alternative option for treatment. However, they may not be suitable for all kinds of tooth loss due to their limitations.
All-on-4 Implants
The All-on-4 procedure has been proven to be a reliable and affordable method for replacing multiple missing teeth. With this system, you'll be able to chew and bite with amazing ease and the system will survive the rigors of chewing and biting. It is common for people who are missing teeth or have advanced gum disease to lose some amount of bone density. All-on-4 is a unique system, because it makes the most of the available bone in a patient's jaw for the implants. During the procedure, the bone is maximized and used as much as possible. This will avoid the need for additional procedures like bone grafting, which is often difficult and expensive. Computer technology is used in this process to analyze a patient's jawbone so that the appropriate areas can be selected where implants can be inserted. It is then possible to attach the artificial teeth once they have been placed in place.
Implant Supported Dentures
The implant-supported dentures are an innovative method of combining the functionality of removable dentures with the stability of dental implants. With implant-supported dentures, you can avoid the painful sores and the looseness associated with traditional dentures. Unlike dentures, they don't require the patients to use denture paste! Usually, these procedures are painless, effective, and they result in a greater feeling of comfort and confidence as a result. It is often recommended that patients who will need to wear dentures and have sufficient bone support undergo this treatment.
Full Mouth Dental Implants
The permanent alternative to dentures and implant supported dentures is the use of full mouth dental implants. The issue with dentures is that they only provide a fraction of what your mouth requires in terms of biting and chewing functions, they can appear bulky in your mouth, and they don’t prevent bone resorption. This causes gum irritation, sores, and eventually they will need to be relined. Although implant-supported dentures offer an increased level of functionality and stability, they are still made from the original denture and will generally need to be removed and cleaned each night after being worn. As the name implies, full mouth dental implants is a full arch tooth replacement procedure in which all of your unsavable teeth are extracted, and then four or more dental implants are placed in your jawbone to support your new life-like teeth. The benefits they offer in terms of functionality, health, and aesthetics are incomparable to anything else on the market.
Zygomatic Dental Implants
In contrast to conventional dental implants, which are screwed into the jawbone, zygomatic dental implants are surgically inserted into the cheek bone (zygoma). These dental implants are supported by a strong, stable facial bone which enables them to bear a bridge of fixed teeth without having to alter the jawbone in any way, such as by undergoing bone grafting surgery. Only a few oral surgeons are trained in the procedure of zigomatic implants, and this is one of the most complex surgeries in implant dentistry. Despite this, our oral surgeons routinely place zygomatic dental implants, and they have years of experience and clinical results on their side to back up their work.

The Process of Our Specialized Treatment
Personalized Consultation
Our team will provide you with a consultation and smile evaluation during your first appointment at our office. As a part of the consultation, we'll discuss the treatment options with you, learn about your medical history, and assess the state of your mouth. We will also assess the quality of your jawbone and the location of your existing teeth, and take scans of your mouth that will give us a detailed map of your teeth. We do this so that we can precisely design your new smile and create your custom surgical plan. It is at this appointment that we will discuss the cost of investment and our payment options.
Dental Implant Surgery
On the day of your implant surgery, we will first start by making sure you're comfortable and relaxed. We will have our anesthesiologist present during your surgery to ensure that the level of anesthesia is maintained at the right level. Using your custom surgical plan, we will place your dental implant(s) at precise angles and depths within your jawbone to ensure that the implant will be secure and your smile will be aesthetically pleasing. After a thorough evaluation of the stability of your new dental implant, we will then attach a temporary crown or bridge. Upon leaving your surgical appointment, you will already be able to take advantage of having a new smile while your bone heals!
The Healing Process and the Final Restoration
It will take you a few months to heal and fully integrate your dental implants with your natural jawbone. Throughout this part of your treatment process, we will be making sure that the implants are healing properly. Once you've recovered, you will return to our office to receive the final restoration. You can finally begin to enjoy the full functional benefits of your dental implants. The crown or bridge will be strong enough to withstand the stresses of eating for the long-term, and will complement the rest of your teeth perfectly.
How You Can Get New Teeth at an Affordable Price
Your overall cost of treatment will depend on if you need a tooth extracted or bone grafting and the number of implants being placed. Because multiple dental implants can be placed in the one surgical appointment – it is not a huge cost increase from placing one implant versus placing multiple implants. If you need assistance paying for your dental implants, we offer financing and can file insurance claims on your behalf. You can be confident that we will work with you to help you afford dental implants so you can have the beautiful and long lasting smile you deserve!

However, we do not want the cost of the treatment to be a deterrent for anyone wanting the best for their oral health, that's why we offer payment plans for large dental procedures like this.
