At Germantown Dental Care, we offer advanced dental implant services designed to restore both the function and appearance of missing teeth, whether you need a single tooth replacement or multiple implants for a full arch restoration. Dental implants are surgically placed into the jawbone, where they act as durable, natural tooth roots. This provides a strong foundation for long-lasting tooth replacement.
Following implant placement, an abutment is attached to the implant. This small connector serves as the base for the final restoration. Once your implant site has fully healed and integrated with the bone, Dr. Ghorbani carefully designs and place a custom-made implant crown (or multiple crowns, bridges, or dentures) to seamlessly blend with your natural teeth in both appearance and function.
To ensure the highest level of precision and safety, Dr. Ghorbani utilize our in-house CBCT machine. This advanced 3D imaging technology allows us to thoroughly evaluate your jawbone structure, nerve locations, and sinus anatomy before and during treatment, enabling a fully personalized, minimally invasive approach with optimal outcomes.
At Germantown Dental Care, we believe everyone deserves a confident, healthy smile. If you are missing one or more teeth, or you want a full mouth make over, dental implants are one of the most reliable and natural-looking solutions available today. Implants don’t just replace teeth, they restore comfort, function, and confidence in your everyday life.
A dental implant is a small titanium post placed into the jawbone to act as a secure foundation for a replacement tooth. Once healed, the implant supports a custom crown that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants look, feel, and function just like your own teeth.
The Dental Implant Process
1. Comprehensive Evaluation & CBCT Scan: We begin with a consultation and a 3D cone beam CT (CBCT) scan. This advanced imaging allows us to see your bone structure, nerves, and surrounding tissues in detail. With this technology, we can plan your implant placement precisely, ensuring the safest and most predictable results.
2. Implant Placement: During a minimally invasive procedure, the titanium implant post is gently placed into your jawbone. Over the next few months, the bone naturally fuses with the implant in a process called osseointegration, creating a stable foundation.
3. Final Restoration – Once the implant has fully integrated, we attach a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture that matches your natural teeth perfectly.
Caring for your dental implant is much like caring for your natural teeth. Regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings will keep your implant healthy for years to come. Mild swelling or tenderness after placement is normal and usually subsides within a few days. Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions and be available to answer any questions during your healing process.
Most healthy adults are excellent candidates for dental implants. You may be a good fit if you:
• Have one or more missing teeth
• Have healthy gums and adequate bone density
• Do not smoke, or are willing to stop during the healing process
• Want a long-lasting, natural-looking replacement option
For patients with bone loss, additional treatments such as bone grafting may be recommended to ensure long-term success.
Frequently Asked
Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the process is. With modern anesthesia and gentle techniques, discomfort is minimal. Mild soreness after the procedure usually subsides within a few days.
From placement to final restoration, the process typically takes 3–6 months. This allows the implant to fully integrate with the bone before the permanent crown is attached.
With proper care, dental implants can last decades — often a lifetime. Good oral hygiene and regular checkups are key to long-term success.
In many cases, a bone graft can be performed to strengthen the jaw and make implant placement possible. During your consultation and CBCT scan, we’ll determine if this is needed.
Are implants better than dentures or bridges?
Unlike dentures, implants are fixed in place and won’t slip when you talk or eat. Unlike bridges, they don’t require altering neighboring teeth. Implants are the closest solution to having your natural teeth back.
