Expertise You Can Trust!
The traditional method for a single tooth replacement involves building a bridge that is anchored on the neighboring teeth. The problem with this is that it involves grinding down on perfectly good teeth so that the bridge can be cemented onto them. Using a single tooth implant, Dr. Sajadi can replace a missing tooth without damaging the neighboring teeth. This is a complete replacement and is a permanent solution that is anchored directly into the bone and includes a ceramic crown that functions exactly like your normal teeth.
How is it Done:
​
Initial consultation: Dr. Sajadi will meet with you for a thorough examination of your mouth, including taking X-rays or 3D images.
​
Dental implant placement: At your next scheduled appointment, Dr. Sajadi will place the dental implant into your jawbone at the site where your tooth is missing. Most people tend to experience less pain than expected and are often able to return to work the next day. Dr. Sajadi is certified and able to provide all your anesthesia needs for the procedure. The post op experience for each patient varies but most patients usually manage any pain with over-the-counter medications.
​
Osseointegration: As you heal, your implant and jawbone will fuse together in a process called osseointegration, forming a strong, long-lasting foundation for your replacement tooth.
​
Custom-make and attach new tooth: Once the implant and the jaw bone have finishing fusing and all healing has completed Dr. Sajadi will custom make your new tooth. The tooth will completely blend in with your existing teeth and provide you with a completely natural result.
