Top-Rated Services For Exceptional Smiles
Dental Implants
Dental implants are surgical-grade titanium posts that function as artificial tooth roots. After they fuse with your underlying jawbone, dental implants provide unrivaled stability to support a crown, bridge, or full arch prosthesis. Dental implants are the only type of tooth replacement that prevent bone atrophy and stimulate new growth. They offer amazing versatility because they can replace a missing or damaged tooth, an upper or lower arch, or an entire missing smile.
Oral Surgery
A healthy mouth requires teeth, gums, and jaw joints to work harmoniously for optimal oral health and function. Oral surgery aims to resolve any issue that interferes with this harmonious function and restore oral health and quality of life. Our board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon has advanced training and expertise in diagnosing and treating complex dental problems and medical conditions related to the mouth, teeth, jaws, and face, including highly specialized dental implants. He is also certified in IV moderate and deep sedation, which is especially beneficial for patients undergoing more complex procedures.
Same-Day Smile®
In the past, traditional dentures were the only option for patients with many missing or failing teeth. Full arch implants are fixed, completely stable, and restore nearly 100% of your natural chewing function. All-on-X is a cost-effective, streamlined implant protocol requiring at least four strategically placed implants per arch. This approach is a win-win because it enables quicker healing and walking out on the same day as surgery with temporary teeth.

Common Questions We're Asked About Dental Implants
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 an entire arch prosthesis.
Many patients are candidates for dental implants already or can qualify after receiving preparatory treatments like bone grafting and tooth extractions. Candidacy is more accurately determined after comprehensive consultation and evaluation with an implant dentist.
The cost of dental implants is based on many factors, including how many teeth are missing and for how long, the materials used, and what additional procedures are needed. Our team can help you apply for dental financing and will file insurance claims on your behalf to help you afford treatment.
Dental implant treatment can range from a few months to over a year. In many cases, implants can be surgically placed soon after the consultation and treatment plan are complete. For patients needing bone grafting, this may be a separate procedure requiring several months of healing before dental implant surgery. After dental implants are placed, recovery can take 3+ months before optimal integration is achieved, and a final restoration can be permanently attached. In many cases, patients can wear a temporary restoration during healing.
Dental implants are designed to last for decades and potentially last for the rest of your life. Surgical technology, clinical experience, and your health habits ultimately affect the longevity of your implants. Choosing an experienced implant team like ours at ASAP Dental Care provides more precise and accurate surgery that guarantees your treatment’s long-term success.
