OUR SERVICES / Implant Surgery Center

One of our many services includes the surgical placement of implants. Implant procedures have become one of the most preferred dental treatments to replace missing teeth, as it provides with a functional and cosmetic long lasting solution to your specific needs given that you are an adequate candidate and your needs require them.

Implants are small titanium cylinders treated and coated with substances that aid in the initial attraction of bone forming cells. They are surgically placed to replace the roots of missing teeth. When there is some tooth missing, the rest of the teeth have a natural tendency to migrate erupting out of the jawbone, process known as overeruption, in order to make up for the spaces in your mouth. Overeruption can cause bite problems, misaligned teeth and even bone loss. Treating this condition can sometimes be complex; this is why it is recommended to replace missing teeth quickly. Implant related procedures offer the advantage of a natural looking, functional smile since the implant is carefully placed directly into your jaw bone below the gum, feeling and looking like your own natural tooth.


The consultation process for implant surgery is basically made in just one visit. During this initial visit, we will ask you about your medical and dental history, we will complete a thorough oral examination and we will take X-rays of your remaining teeth and bone, intraoral photographs and impressions of your remaining teeth. The dental team will use this information to formulate a treatment plan which will be discussed with you.

We incorporated a Cone Beam Computerized Tomogram (CBCT) for better diagnosis, measurement of the anatomical structures and visualization of the remaining bone.

The information collected by the CBCT allows us to make precise measurement and perform "Virtual Surgeries" utilizing cutting edge state of the art implant planning software.

Implants can alleviate many of the disadvantages and discomfort of denture wearing patients. For example, if you, or anyone in your family have been wearing full dentures, dental implants can once again give you the self-confidence to speak freely in public and once again chew your favorite foods.

Implants can also be used as part of a treatment plan that includes single teeth, bridges or dentures. This has its own advantages since the restoration is attached to the implant where it stays firmly secured allowing the patient to talk out loud or quickly and eating or speaking naturally. It is definitely more comfortable and functional; there will be ideally, no more difficulty while eating or speaking, no more uncomfortable loose dental work.
