These are an excellent service for patients who have lost teeth and would like to replace them without involving other teeth. They are also useful for retaining dentures. We perform this service routinely and I am certified in multiple implant systems. I do not place the actual implant but I refer you to the appropriate surgeon. Once the procedure is complete I create the restoration. This is a long process. Often the time frame is from 6-12 months. This could extend even longer if bone grafting is required. There are many variables with implant restoration. I provide a detailed treatment plan for each of my patients.
