Dental Implants

Whether you are already missing teeth, or you need to have a tooth removed, you may benefit from dental implant treatment. Dental implants are becoming the gold standard for replacement of missing teeth because they heal by fusing to the jaw bone, a process called “osteointegration”, and they are therefore an excellent long-term solution to tooth loss. Implants can be used to replace single teeth, multiple adjacent teeth, or an entire arch of teeth.

Your evaluation will begin with a clinical examination and review of available imaging. A Conebeam CT will be obtained to provide a detailed 3D evaluation of your jaw bone, including bone quality, bone quantity, and position of important anatomy like the maxillary sinus, adjacent teeth, and the inferior alveolar nerve. In some cases, this imaging may reveal that bone grafting is required prior to, or during, implant placement.

Dr. Timothy Bartholomew and Dr. Justin Clemow have extensive training and experience in dental implant placement and they can comprehensively handle all of your dental implant needs. When implant placement is performed by our board-certified surgeons, it is very well tolerated with less discomfort than a normal tooth extraction. Many patients are able to return to work the same day! We routinely offer advanced options like flapless implant surgery (no incisions), immediate implant placement (implant placed at the time of tooth extraction), and single-stage implant placement (no second-stage surgery required to expose the implant).
