We Offer Multiple Implant Options
We custom-create every dental implant treatment plan to fit your unique needs, considering your health, dental concerns, smile goals, and lifestyle. This personalized approach ensures a solution that looks natural, functions flawlessly, and fits seamlessly into your everyday life.
A single dental implant replaces one missing tooth with a durable, natural-looking restoration. The implant post acts as a secure anchor, similar to a natural tooth root. It restores both function and appearance without affecting surrounding teeth.
Implant-supported dentures use several implants to anchor a full or partial denture in place. This provides significantly more stability than traditional removable dentures. Patients enjoy improved comfort, bite strength, and confidence with a secure fit.
All-on-4 dental implants are a full-arch solution that uses four implants to support a complete set of new teeth. It’s ideal for patients with significant tooth loss or those tired of wearing removable dentures. The treatment offers a fixed, natural-looking smile with fewer implants and typically faster recovery.
Zygomatic implants are a specialized solution for patients with severe bone loss in the upper jaw. These longer implants anchor into the cheekbone (zygoma) for a strong, stable foundation. They allow patients, once told they weren’t candidates for implants, to receive full-arch restorations—often without the need for bone grafting.
What You Can Expect From Dental Implants
The Life-Changing Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants are the ideal tooth replacement option for many reasons, including the health, function, and aesthetic benefits they offer. With even one replaced tooth, you can enjoy the benefits of a complete smile and improved confidence. For a full-arch replacement, the long-term benefits of dental implants are nothing short of life-changing.
Beauty
Beauty
Dental implants are made from porcelain or ceramic materials, both of which are custom designed to match the color and translucency of natural teeth. Dental implant restorations—either crowns, bridges, or full-arch prosthetics—look so natural, it is virtually impossible to distinguish them alongside existing teeth.
Function
Function
Dental implants are just as strong and durable as natural teeth with the added benefit that the restorations cannot become decayed or stained. Permanently secured in your jaw with biocompatible titanium posts, dental implants have the strength to withstand normal biting and chewing forces, so you don’t have to limit your diet in any way.
Health
Health
Dental implants restore a complete set of teeth in your mouth that will not slip, loosen, or fall out. With the strength of natural, healthy teeth, dental implants can improve your oral and overall health by allowing you to thoroughly chew a variety of healthy foods. Permanent, beautiful new teeth improve your emotional health and confidence, too!

Dental Implant FAQs
A dental implant comprises three parts: a titanium or ceramic post, an abutment, and a restoration. Built to function like natural tooth roots, dental implants provide bone support and a stable foundation for a single dental crown, a dental bridge, a denture, or a full arch prosthesis.
As with any dental surgery, you may feel some discomfort after receiving your dental implants. However, we ensure that the implant surgery is a pain-free experience by using proper numbing and sedation methods. After implantation, you will receive information on minimizing discomfort using suggested over-the-counter and prescription medications.
Many patients are already candidates for dental implants or can qualify after receiving preparatory treatments like bone grafting and tooth extractions. The best way to know if you are an excellent candidate for dental implants is to schedule a consultation. We will use our expertise, guided by diagnostics, to recommend the solution we feel is best suited to your goals.
Candidacy for dental implants varies depending on your health history. Some patients with minor bone loss may be immediate candidates for some dental implant treatments. Others may do better if they undergo other treatments first, like bone grafting or a sinus lift.
For patients with severe bone loss, we are one of the only offices in Monroeville, PA that can place Zygomatic and Pterygoid implants! When you visit us during your initial consultation, we’ll discuss the best options based on your experiences.
Education and expertise matter when it comes to choosing a dental implant doctor. That’s why you’ll be pleased that our dental implant patients enjoy a more than 98% success rate. We take all precautions to stop dental implants from failing, including monitoring your health and recovery status.
Recovery from dental implant surgery will take a few weeks as your mouth adjusts to having a new set of replacement teeth. However, the closer you follow your post-surgical instructions and care, the sooner you’ll feel like your dental implants are a part of your body.
