The dental implant system for missing teeth that I prefer to use is made by Nobel Biocare. This company has proven themselves as a leader in the dentals implants industry for over 40 years.

Before dental implants can be placed, a separate consultation is necessary.  At your dental implant consultation we'll analyze your records and discuss:

• Your medical history (including any previous dental implants you may have had).
• Panorex or a cat scan of your jaw.
• We'll study models to determine the occlusion and restorations anticipated for your implants.

Dental implants can only be successful with proper treatment planning and a sterile technique. I can place dental implants with local anesthesia so you don't  experience any discomfort.  If you have  any heightened anxiety, we can orally oral sedate you, or even provide I.V. sedation. (See our page on oral sedation).

The surgical technique of placing a dental implant involves just a small incision and then the implant is put in place.  Often times, we can do this  procedure in only 15 minutes.

As a temporary solution, there are various methods to replace missing teeth while the implant heals.  You will never  be uncomfortable when speaking, or even smiling because of missing teeth.  I can make immediate restorations to fill in those gaps while you're waiting for your dental implants that look completely natural.
