What are
Dental Implants?
Dental implants consist of a titanium post, abutment, and restoration. The post functions as a natural tooth root to anchor and stabilizes the restoration. Once the implant post-fuses with your jawbone, it stimulates new bone growth, providing a solid foundation for replacement teeth and significantly reducing the risk of undesirable facial changes.
Our Precision
Dental Implant Options
Single Implants
A single dental implant is the only permanent tooth replacement solution if you have one missing or failing tooth and the adjacent teeth are healthy. After the implant post integrates with your underlying bone in an osseointegration process, you’ll receive a beautiful crown crafted on-site. Our on-site dental lab enables optimal quality control, outstanding craftsmanship, and enhanced ability to deliver the proper emergence profile that matches the crown in size, shape, shade, and translucency to your adjacent teeth.
Implant-Supported Dental Bridges
Fixed implant bridges preserve jawbone health, restore dental function, and offer beautiful aesthetics. With advanced dental technology, an in-house dental lab, meticulous surgical planning, and decades of top-level expertise, you’ll receive an implant-supported bridge that is aesthetically pleasing and highly durable.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures provide a middle ground between a fixed hybrid implant and a traditional removable denture. Removable overdentures look nearly identical to conventional dentures, with the addition of locators underneath the plate that attach to dental implants. They blend the affordability of a denture plate with the added stability of strategically placed dental implants to keep the prosthesis in place, thereby providing a more secure and comfortable fit.
Full Mouth Dental Implants
Full mouth dental implants refer to a comprehensive dental restoration procedure where missing or damaged teeth are replaced with implants. Unlike traditional dentures, which sit on the gums, dental implants are surgically placed into the jawbone for a more secure fit. This approach allows for replacing an entire arch or both arches of teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics. Full mouth dental implants provide a long-lasting solution that improves chewing ability, speech clarity, and oral health.

The Steps Involved in
Precision Implant Placement
Consultation & Planning
From your first consultation, we pride ourselves on clear, honest communication and encourage you to discuss your concerns and goals in our judgment-free setting openly. We never employ a one-size-fits-all approach and present various implant options and steps to help you make an informed decision. If you decide to move forward, we use our state-of-the-art cone-beam computed tomography scanner to analyze your underlying bone, nerves, and sinuses and produce a 3D image to plan the surgery virtually.
Surgical Procedure
We use anti-inflammatory medications at a precise time before the procedure is complete and before local anesthesia has worn off to help reduce surgical-related pain. We will make small incisions to your gums and place the dental implant. Rather than relying on guesswork, advanced dental imaging software is used to predetermine the placement of dental implants in your jawbone and create accurate surgical guides. Once the implant is placed, we will attach an abutment connector and place your temporary prosthesis.
Healing and Restorations
Due to our exacting surgical protocol, timely anesthesia, anti-inflammatory medication regimen, and postoperative instructions, most patients can manage pain with over-the-counter pain relievers. We also provide prescription medications in case they are needed. Implants generally take 3-6 months to fuse with your underlying bone. When this process is complete, you’ll receive a beautiful crown, bridge, or full mouth prosthesis fabricated on-site. During your fitting, our dental lab technician and Dr. Marlin will check to ensure it provides a perfect fit, comfort, and natural-looking function and aesthetics.
