Dental Implants

Dental implants have become the gold-standard way of replacing one or multiple missing teeth. With today’s technology, we can replace your missing teeth and give you back the smile you used to know and love. Implant dentistry is minimally invasive when done with the proper care and attention. Dr. Shafique and Dr. Donohue are highly trained in all implant procedure, from single tooth to full mouth rehabilitation. We would love to educate you more on how dental implants can give you your smile back. Schedule your new patient visit to learn more about how we can help.

Here’s What You Can Expect During the Process

Advanced 3D Imaging
We begin with a 3D scan of your jaw to evaluate bone structure and surrounding anatomy. This CT scan is taken conveniently in our office.
Digital Implant Planning
Your implant is digitally planned using advanced technology to determine the most precise placement for long term success.
Implant Placement
The implant is placed in our office, and you are given clear instructions on how to care for the area. A follow up visit is typically scheduled.
Final Restoration
Once the bone has healed around the implant, we design your crown or bridge. In many cases, your new tooth is created using digital technology right in our office.

We’ve refined this process with precision and care. It’s something we are truly passionate about, and we look forward to helping you regain your confidence.
