- With proper care, implants can last for decades
Eat, Speak, and Smile with Ease
Dental implants succeed where more traditional services fall short because they focus on replacing your entire natural tooth, not just the white crown that shows in your smile. The titanium implant itself is the substitute for the tooth root and is inserted into the jawbone during an initial surgery. Over a period of months, it forms a strong bond with the natural tissue and eventually supports a full, custom restoration, successfully preventing the jawbone deterioration that is so common after tooth loss. Dr. De Vincenzo performs the whole dental procedure under one roof to give you quality and convenient care.
Single Tooth Dental Implants
When only one tooth is missing, a single dental implant topped with a custom crown provides a natural, lasting replacement. It fits comfortably alongside your other teeth without altering them, unlike a traditional bridge. Once complete, most patients can’t tell the implant from the real thing.
Full Arch Dental Implants
When an entire arch of teeth is missing, implant-retained dentures can bring back comfort, function, and confidence. These custom prosthetics attach to a few strategically placed implants, offering secure support and a cost-effective way to restore your full smile.
Implant-Retained Dental Bridges
If you’re missing several teeth in a row, an implant-retained bridge can restore your smile with strength and stability. Two dental implants are placed on either side of the gap to support the bridge, protecting surrounding teeth while recreating a natural, even appearance.
Regaining Your Smile
Our team ensures that your dental implant process is simple and comfortable, with every step handled by our experienced dentists and tailored to ensure your new smile looks, feels, and functions naturally.
- Initial Consultation: Your visit begins with a full dental exam. Dr. De Vincenzo or Dr. Saremi will review your health, take X-rays or 3D scans, and create a clear treatment plan that outlines your procedure and timeline.
- Preparation: If needed, we’ll first treat any gum issues or perform a bone graft to create a strong, healthy foundation for your implant.
- Implant Placement: You’ll be kept comfortable with local anesthesia, and sedation is available if you’re anxious. A small titanium post is placed into your jawbone, where it naturally bonds over the next few months.
- Abutment Placement: Once healed, a small connector called an abutment is attached to the implant. This serves as the base for your new tooth.
- Final Restoration: We take an impression of your mouth to design a custom crown, bridge, or denture that matches your natural teeth. Once placed, your smile is complete.
- Post-Procedure Care: We provide clear instructions to support healing and keep you comfortable. Most patients return to normal activities within a short time.
Creating a Strong Start for Your Implants
Sometimes your mouth needs a little preparation before implants can be placed. Treatments like bone grafting or a sinus lift help strengthen your jaw and create a stable, healthy foundation for a lasting smile.
Bone Grafting
When teeth are missing, the jawbone can lose density over time. Bone grafting rebuilds this strength by placing a small amount of bone material where needed. It can be either your own, a donor’s, or synthetic. The graft encourages natural bone growth, creating a solid foundation for your implant. Healing can take a few months, though smaller grafts may allow for immediate implant placement.
Sinus Lift
For upper teeth, the sinus cavity can sometimes sit too close to the implant area. A sinus lift gently raises the sinus floor and adds bone material to create more space and support. After a few months of healing, the bone becomes strong enough to hold your implants securely.

Frequently Asked Questions
This is one of the most common concerns our implants patients have. While the procedure itself is not painful, thanks to local anesthesia, you can expect some mild to moderate discomfort after the anesthesia wears off. This may include swelling, soreness, or minor bruising, but this discomfort is temporary, typically peaks within the first 48-72 hours, and is very effectively managed with over-the-counter pain relievers or medication we can prescribe.
Dental implants are designed to be a permanent, long-term solution and are one of the most durable restorations in all of dentistry. However, the longevity of your implant ultimately depends on your oral hygiene and lifestyle.
Yes, in most cases, it can be redone. While implant failure is very rare, it can occasionally happen, often due to infection (peri-implantitis) or a failure to fuse with the bone. Early detection is key, so if you ever feel pain, swelling, or looseness around your implant, please contact us right away.
