Implant Dentistry

Your Path to a Beautiful Smile

Implant dentistry is a specialized field that focuses on the restoration of missing teeth using dental implants. This is a long-term solution involving the gentle placement of a titanium post into the bone, acting as an artificial tooth root. The implant fuses with the bone, providing a stable foundation for a dental crown, bridge, or denture to replace the missing tooth or teeth. Implants can be used as an anchor for many kinds of restorations to replace teeth from single crowns to bridges, and even dentures. They not only improve the aesthetics of your smile but also restore your ability to eat, speak, and maintain proper oral health.

At Dr. Prota’s Office, we offer a comprehensive range of implant dentistry procedures tailored to meet your unique needs. These include Implant placement, single-tooth implant crowns, implant-supported bridges and dentures.

The Placement of Implants and Single Tooth Restorations

  • Dental Implants

    The first step in placing implants involves a detailed examination and consultation with Dr. Prota. During this consult, x-rays will be taken to examine whether you have enough bone structure to support the implants. However, we recognize that some patients may present with more complex situations that require specialized attention. In such instances, Dr. Prota may refer these patients to a trusted specialist who possesses the expertise and equipment necessary to handle intricate implant procedures.

  • Single Tooth Implant Crowns

    When a dental implant has been placed and has fully integrated with the bone, it serves as a stable foundation to support a replacement tooth. The restoration is typically achieved using a single crown, which is a prosthetic tooth that closely resembles a natural tooth. This process includes uncovering the implant once it’s healed, taking an impression, and having a zirconia crown custom designed to fit the crown.

Multiple Unit Restorations with Implants

Implant-Supported Bridges

For patients missing multiple adjacent teeth, an implant-supported bridge can be an ideal choice. Two or more dental implants are strategically placed to support a custom bridge, replacing three or more teeth with a long-term durable solution.

Implant-Supported Dentures

Traditional removable dentures can sometimes be uncomfortable or unstable. Implant-supported dentures offer a secure and durable solution. By placing a few dental implants, we can anchor your dentures, allowing for improved comfort, stability, and confidence.

Implant-Supported Fixed Dentures

This advanced technique involves the placement of four or six implants in each arch to support a full set of fixed dentures. This approach is particularly beneficial for patients with significant tooth loss or those seeking a more permanent and hassle-free solution.

What our patients have to say…

    I am having a new implant done by Dr. Prota. I was very satisfied with the first stage which involved implanting the post and getting ready for the placement of the new crown in a few months. The experience was painless, Dr. Prota carefully explained the procedure and it was easy. I highly recommend Dr. Prota and his staff.

    I love Dr. Prota. He is the best and makes you feel so comfortable. He has the best updated equipment. New Technology. From new fillings without those old silver fillings. One side of my mouth looks like I never had fillings at all. I will be going through extensive treatment with him over time and can't wait to smile without hiding my teeth. Thank you Dr. Prota!

    Been going to Dr. Prota since he started his practice and have never thought of going anywhere else. He and his entire staff treat each patient like family and I always know no matter what the procedure (from a simple cleaning to the most complicated) I am confident that the outcome will be nothing short of dental perfection. No one loves going to the dentist, but going to Dr. Prota's practice leaves a lot of anxiety behind.

    I am writing this review on behalf of my elderly mother Luz who just had an amazing experience at the dentist today. The dentist and his staff are extremely professional, friendly, and genuinely caring. We also noticed how patient they are in not trying to rush through the process. To conclude this review we were impressed with how clean the facility was.

    I look forward to my cleanings with Angie. There is nothing like that feeling of completely clean teeth! This practice goes above and beyond to keep us safe. Angie is thorough, yet gentle. And we catch up with everything. I leave with a big smile under the mask.

    I am a frequent visitor to the dentist. Mother nature skipped on giving me a good set of teeth so there is always something going on. With Dr. Prota, I always know what is going on, what the plan is to fix it, and how much it will cost. I have been a patient here for close to 20 years and have no plans on changing my dentist any time, even though I drive 45 minutes each way to see him.

    Being disabled, it is hard for me to get to medical offices. Dr. Prota and his staff are the best. They treat me like a friend and family. They make sure I can get into the room, am comfortable and take special precautions to insure my safety as I know they do with each and every patient. From a simple cleaning and exam to the most complex dental procedures, I am confident that I am receiving the best care and my outcome will be nothing short of perfection. They are the best.
