The Ultimate Solution for Tooth Loss
Dental implants are the ultimate solution for tooth loss, whether you are missing one tooth or several. Our implant treatment process involves using CT scans to determine your candidacy for treatment and plan your surgery. With proper placement, we can sometimes eliminate the need for bone grafting, and minimize the surgery’s impact on your jaw, reducing discomfort and recovery time.
Procedure and Recovery
As part of your personalized care, Dr. Lorents will choose the right type of sedation for you. During the implant surgery, he will create small incisions in your gums and place the posts in your jaw through these incisions. The number of posts will depend on the size of your restoration. Recovery from implant surgery takes four to six months, but with our Speedy Implants or the All-on-4® system, you can receive a restoration within 24 hours of your implant surgery, and your final restoration when you have fully healed.

Evaluation and Planning
Dr. Lorents uses state-of-the-art 3D CT scans to evaluate your oral health and determine your candidacy for implant treatment. With these advanced images, he can also plan your implant surgery with precision, minimizing discomfort and recovery time. If you have insufficient bone density, he can often perform a bone graft procedure to restore your candidacy for treatment.

Custom Restoration
Once you have fully healed, Dr. Lorents will attach your custom-designed dental crown, bridge, or denture to your implant posts. Your prosthetic will be crafted from the latest materials for optimal aesthetics and functionality. With implant-supported restorations, you can enjoy a stable, natural-looking smile that allows you to eat, speak, and laugh with confidence.
Follow-Up Care
After your implant treatment, we will provide you with comprehensive follow-up care instructions to ensure optimal healing and long-lasting results. Regular check-ups and cleanings at Dental Arts Center can help you maintain your implant-supported restoration and overall oral health.
The Importance of a Healthy Smile
- Implants are stable, so you can eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
- Implants don't affect nearby teeth like traditional bridges.
- Implants are a long-lasting solution for tooth loss.
- Implants prevent jawbone recession by replacing natural tooth roots.
- Implants can be combined with cosmetic dentistry for a smile makeover.
Are You a Good Candidate?
Evaluation with 3D CT Scans
To ensure lasting results, Dr. Lorents will evaluate your jaw with his state-of-the-art 3D CT scans. Frequently, he can perform a bone graft procedure to rebuild bone density to restore your candidacy for treatment. Your overall physical health is another important consideration. As an implants candidate, you should have a strong immune system, as well as healthy gums. An autoimmune disease, blood disorder, or gum disease, could disqualify you from implants. However, we can often address gum disease through advanced periodontal care.
