Dental implants are the gold standard for tooth replacement, offering a permanent solution that closely mimics the structure and function of natural teeth. Unlike bridges or dentures that rest on top of the gums, dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone, creating an artificial tooth root that fuses with your natural bone through a process called osseointegration. This solid foundation supports a custom-crafted crown, bridge, or denture that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth.
At Alta Dental Group, our comprehensive approach to dental implants combines advanced surgical techniques with artistic restoration design to create results that are both functional and aesthetically superior. Our multidisciplinary team—including an Associate Fellow of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, a board-certified periodontist, and a dental anesthesiologist—works together under one roof to provide seamless, coordinated care throughout your implant journey.
From replacing a single missing tooth to full-mouth rehabilitation, dental implants offer unparalleled stability, longevity, and natural appearance. They preserve jawbone structure, maintain facial contours, and allow you to eat, speak, and smile with complete confidence—benefits that make them the preferred choice for patients seeking long-term tooth replacement solutions.
When you’re missing just one tooth, a single dental implant provides the ideal replacement solution without compromising adjacent healthy teeth. The implant post is placed precisely in the jawbone, creating a stable foundation for a custom porcelain crown that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth. At Alta Dental Group, our single implant restorations are designed to match the size, shape, color, and translucency of your natural teeth so precisely that even you may forget which tooth is the implant. The procedure preserves bone structure in the jaw while eliminating the need to reduce neighboring teeth, as would be required with traditional bridges. Our comprehensive in-house capabilities allow us to handle every aspect of your single tooth replacement—from initial extraction if needed, through implant placement, to final crown design and placement.
For patients missing multiple adjacent teeth, implant-supported bridges offer superior function and aesthetics compared to traditional bridges or partial dentures. These innovative restorations use strategically placed dental implants to support multiple replacement teeth, eliminating the need for removable appliances or grinding down healthy adjacent teeth. At Alta Dental Group, our implant bridges are custom-designed to complement your facial features and existing dentition while providing optimal chewing function. Our surgical team carefully plans implant placement to maximize support while minimizing the number of implants required, creating a cost-effective solution that doesn’t compromise on quality or longevity. The result is a fixed, permanent restoration that allows you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence, knowing your replacement teeth are securely anchored and virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth.
For patients missing all teeth in an upper or lower arch, our advanced full arch implant solutions offer life-changing benefits compared to traditional dentures. Using the innovative All-on-4® technique or similar approaches, we can support an entire arch of teeth on just 4-6 strategically placed implants, often without extensive bone grafting. This efficient approach maximizes existing bone structure while providing exceptional stability and function. Many patients qualify for our Teeth-in-a-Day protocol, allowing you to receive provisional teeth the same day as implant placement—eliminating the need to go without teeth during healing. Our comprehensive approach includes detailed 3D planning, precise surgical placement, and custom prosthetic design all managed by our in-house team. The result is a permanent, non-removable set of teeth that restores both function and confidence, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods and smile without hesitation.
For patients seeking improved denture stability with a more affordable option than fixed implant bridges, implant-retained overdentures provide an excellent solution. These specialized dentures securely attach to dental implants using precision connections, eliminating the shifting and discomfort common with traditional dentures. At Alta Dental Group, we typically use 2-4 strategically placed implants per arch to dramatically improve denture retention while preserving bone structure. The overdentures snap firmly into place for confident eating and speaking, yet can be removed for easy cleaning—combining the best aspects of fixed and removable options. Our custom-designed overdentures are fabricated with premium materials for optimal comfort and aesthetics, and our precision attachment systems are selected for each patient’s specific needs. This solution is particularly beneficial for long-term denture wearers experiencing bone loss or those seeking significantly improved function without the cost of fully fixed restorations.
At Alta Dental Group, dental implant procedures are performed by our elite multidisciplinary team with specialized training in implant dentistry. Dr. Rashad Altawaty leads our implant services as an Associate Fellow of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, bringing advanced surgical expertise and comprehensive implant knowledge to each case. His extensive training in both the surgical and restorative aspects of implant dentistry allows for truly integrated treatment planning that considers both the functional foundation and aesthetic outcome from the start.
Dr. Omar Bajwa contributes his expertise in prosthetic design and restoration, ensuring that the visible portion of your implant treatment achieves the perfect balance of beauty and function. For complex cases requiring specialized periodontal management, Dr. Victor Perez, our board-certified periodontist, provides advanced surgical techniques for bone augmentation, sinus lifts, and tissue management that create the optimal foundation for successful implants.
What truly distinguishes our implant services is the involvement of Dr. Marco Savittieri, our board-certified dental anesthesiologist. His specialized training allows us to offer a full spectrum of sedation options—from nitrous oxide to IV sedation and general anesthesia—customized to each patient’s needs. This exceptional capability ensures even anxious patients or those undergoing complex procedures can experience comfortable, stress-free treatment.
Our in-house lab technicians complete this exceptional team, working directly with our dentists to create custom implant restorations that achieve the perfect balance of aesthetics and function. This collaborative approach with all specialists under one roof creates a seamless experience from initial consultation through final restoration and long-term maintenance.
Your dental implant journey at Alta Dental Group begins with a comprehensive consultation and evaluation. During this initial visit, our team assesses your oral health, missing teeth, bone structure, and overall treatment goals. Advanced 3D imaging provides detailed visualization of your jawbone density and anatomical structures, allowing us to determine implant feasibility and identify any preliminary treatments that may be necessary, such as bone grafting or extraction of compromised teeth. We’ll discuss our findings with you, explain your treatment options, and develop a personalized implant plan aligned with your goals and budget.
Treatment planning follows with our multidisciplinary team collaborating to design your ideal implant solution. This detailed planning phase includes precise implant placement mapping, restoration design considerations, and coordination of any preparatory procedures. For patients requiring sedation, Dr. Savittieri develops a customized comfort plan based on your preferences and procedure complexity. Our comprehensive approach ensures every aspect of your treatment is coordinated for optimal outcomes.
The surgical phase involves the precise placement of dental implants according to your customized treatment plan. Using surgical guides created from your 3D imaging, our specialists position each implant for optimal support and aesthetic results. Depending on your specific case, this may be followed by a healing period of 3-6 months to allow osseointegration (fusion of the implant with your jawbone), or immediate provisional restoration in cases qualifying for same-day teeth. Our expertise in both traditional and immediate loading protocols allows us to recommend the approach best suited to your unique situation.
The restorative phase begins once your implants have successfully integrated with your jawbone. We take precise digital impressions of your implant positions to create custom abutments and final restorations that provide ideal function and aesthetics. Our in-house lab capabilities ensure exceptional quality control throughout the fabrication process. The final restorations—whether crowns, bridges, or full arch prostheses—are meticulously adjusted for perfect fit, function, and appearance before being secured to your implants.
After completing your implant treatment, we establish a structured maintenance program to protect your investment. This includes regular professional evaluations, specialized cleaning protocols, and any necessary adjustments to ensure the long-term success of your dental implants. Our team remains available to address any questions or concerns as you enjoy your new smile.
