Request ConsultationWhat Our Patients Experience
Beyond the clinical outcome, the patient experience at Elite Prosthetic Dentistry is characterized by personalized attention, clear communication, and respect for the patient's time and concerns.
Initial Consultation
Our prosthodontist conducts a thorough diagnostic evaluation during your initial consultation. This includes a detailed history, clinical examination, and advanced imaging. Based on this evaluation, they discuss your treatment options, expected timeline, and financial considerations. You will have ample opportunity to ask questions and understand the recommended treatment plan.
Surgical Phase
If implant placement is recommended, our prosthodontist will discuss the surgical procedure in detail, including anesthesia options, post-operative expectations, and activity restrictions. The surgical phase is typically completed under local anesthesia with nitrous oxide if desired. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and recover quickly.
Restorative Phase
Once implants have achieved osseointegration, the restorative phase begins. This involves taking detailed impressions and measurements to ensure that the custom abutments and crowns are fabricated precisely. You will have multiple opportunities to evaluate the color, contour, and bite before the final restorations are seated.
Long-Term Care
After restoration delivery, our specialist remains involved in your ongoing care. Periodic follow-up visits ensure that your implants are functioning properly, your bite is balanced, and your restorations are stable. This continuity of care is a key component of achieving long-term success.
Frequently Asked Questions About the Implant Process
How long does the full implant process take from start to finish?
The timeline varies depending on the complexity of your case. A straightforward single implant typically requires 4-6 months from tooth extraction through final crown placement. Cases involving bone grafting require additional time for bone maturation, typically adding 3-9 months depending on the extent of grafting required.
Complex multi-implant cases may require a longer timeline due to the phased nature of treatment. our prosthodontist will provide you with a specific timeline during your consultation based on your individual needs and the complexity of your case.
Will my dental implants look natural?
Yes. Our team's approach emphasizes custom restoration design tailored to your specific anatomy and esthetic goals. Each implant crown is custom-made to match the color, contour, shape, and texture of your natural teeth. The goal is a restoration that is completely natural in appearance and indistinguishable from a natural tooth.
This is achieved through careful implant positioning, custom abutment design, and precision crown fabrication in our in-house laboratory. The combination of proper positioning and custom restoration design ensures esthetic superiority compared to standardized, off-the-shelf approaches.
Can I see more patient examples during my consultation?
Yes. Our practice maintains a portfolio of patient cases demonstrating the range of results achievable with different treatment approaches and case complexities. During your consultation, our specialist can review relevant examples that match your situation and treatment goals, helping you visualize potential outcomes.
All examples are used with explicit patient consent, and patient privacy is strictly maintained. Our specialist can also discuss before-and-after results of cases similar to yours, providing you with realistic expectations for your own treatment.
What is the success rate for dental implants?
Our practice maintains a documented success rate exceeding 97% after 20 years in function across more than 3,900+ implants placed and restored. This represents one of the highest published success rates in the specialty.
Success depends on multiple factors including proper case selection, precise surgical placement, appropriate bone grafting when needed, proper restoration design, and patient compliance with oral hygiene and follow-up care. Our team's comprehensive approach to each of these elements contributes to the superior outcomes achieved in our practice.
How much do dental implants cost?
The cost of dental implant treatment varies significantly based on the complexity of your case. Factors affecting cost include the number of implants needed, whether bone grafting is required, the complexity of the restoration design, and materials used.
During your consultation, our prosthodontist will provide you with a detailed treatment estimate that breaks down the costs associated with each phase of your treatment. He also works with patients on financial arrangements and can discuss insurance coverage and payment plans.
