Investing in Outcomes, Not Just Procedures

Many individuals with missing teeth experience feelings of humiliation and self-consciousness, compounded by the risk of inflammatory bacteria settling in the empty tooth sockets. The longer missing teeth go untreated, the higher the physical and oral disease risk.

Fortunately, even severe cases of missing or decaying teeth can be effectively addressed through full-mouth dental implants, restoring teeth to 99% of their pre-loss strength—our team, led by Tal Wilkins is dedicated to improving oral health and providing a remarkable, pristine smile through dental implant restoration procedures.

What Are Dental Implants?

The fundamental components of a dental implant comprise the implant post, abutment, and restoration (prosthetic tooth). Unlike dentures, implants are a superior tooth replacement option, offering a lifelong solution even for those without teeth. Implants contribute to the preservation of jawbone and stand out for their stability, never slipping or migrating over time, unlike dentures that often lead to increased bone loss and painful soft tissue inflammation.

Successful full mouth dental implants necessitate state-of-the-art technology, and the expertise of a skilled implant dentist. At Center for Dentistry, we provide various dental implant restoration solutions tailored to individual needs. We utilize advanced technology for accelerated healing and a commitment to delivering decades of reliable daily use with routine maintenance.

Top 5 Mistakes People Make with Dental Implants

Do you have all the information you need to make the right decisions about dental implants? Don’t make any of these five common mistakes. Our exclusive checklist will steer you in the right direction.

The Advantages of Dental Implants

What Are My Implant Options?

Dental implants offer versatile support, accommodating a single dental crown, a dental bridge, or a complete arch of replacement teeth based on the patient’s desires and oral health needs. You can relish life’s most enjoyable moments, from savoring a favorite meal and connecting with friends to confidently beaming with pride in front of loved ones, all made possible by the benefits of dental implants.

Single Implants

Dental implants are the modern alternative for restoring a single tooth that has suffered substantial damage. Renowned for their durability and long-lasting qualities, dental implants provide a dependable solution that closely replicates a natural tooth’s appearance, sensation, and functionality. Opting for an implant to replace a damaged tooth enables patients to restore their dental aesthetics and oral functionality.

Dental Bridges

A dental bridge is a highly effective solution for restoring dental function in situations involving the breakage or loss of multiple teeth. This involves strategically placing dental implants and affixing a custom bridge to create a stable and natural-looking replacement for numerous teeth. The implant-supported bridge enhances the aesthetic appeal of the smile and guarantees improved biting and chewing capabilities, ultimately elevating overall oral health and quality of life.

Implant Supported Dentures

Implant-supported dentures offer a secure and reliable solution for individuals experiencing the challenges of conventional dentures. Patients can enjoy enhanced stability and confidence in their prosthetic teeth by anchoring the dentures onto dental implants strategically placed in the jaw. This innovative approach prevents slipping or shifting of dentures and promotes better oral function, allowing individuals to bite, chew, and speak with increased comfort and assurance.

Full Mouth Dental Implants

Full mouth dental implants present a comprehensive solution for those missing an entire arch of teeth. The restoration is firmly anchored through the surgical placement of four or more strategically positioned implant posts in the jaw, delivering stability and functionality similar to natural teeth. Full mouth dental implants reinstate the visual appeal of a complete smile and elevate oral function, enabling individuals to eat, speak, and smile confidently.

The Proof Is In Our Patients

Our Implant Procedure

Our dental implant process begins with a comprehensive consultation where we delve into your dental concerns and smile aspirations. We will thoroughly examine your mouth and current state of oral health and utilize advanced technology for digital diagnostics to create a treatment plan tailored to your facial symmetry, skin tone, gum and lip line, and lifestyle.

On the day of your procedure, we’ll administer your preferred sedation option and make small incisions into your jawbone to strategically place 4-6 dental implants at a 45-degree angle. Once your implants are placed, we’ll attach the abutment connector and affix your temporary restoration. Over the next 4-6 months, your mouth heals through osseointegration. Once your dental implants fuse to your jawbone to create a strong foundation, we’ll place your handcrafted final restoration, ensuring a seamless blend with your natural aesthetics.
