Missing teeth don't have to mean missing out.

Why a Prosthodontist for Implants?

Not all implant providers are the same.

• The specialist who sees the full picture. Many offices place implants. Fewer plan the entire restoration — from the position of the implant in the bone to the final crown that sits on top. Dr. Sergio does both, because a prosthodontist is trained to think about how the implant fits your bite, your function, and your face, not just the gap.
  
  

• Complex cases welcome. Multiple missing teeth. Failed previous implants. Bone loss. Cases other offices refer out are the cases we're built for. If you've been told "you're not a candidate," it's worth a second conversation.
  
  

• Everything under one roof. From initial consultation to final restoration: you stay with the same team, in the same office. No bouncing between a surgeon and a separate dentist. One plan, one team, one standard.
  
  

Single-Tooth Implant

What it is: A single implant replaces one missing tooth with a titanium post (the root) and a custom crown (the visible tooth). Once healed, it looks and functions exactly like a natural tooth. You brush it, floss it, and forget it's there.

Who is it for: Patients missing one tooth: whether from injury, decay, or extraction. A single implant is the gold standard replacement because it doesn't affect the teeth around it, unlike a bridge.

Implant-Supported Bridge

What it is: When multiple adjacent teeth are missing, an implant-supported bridge uses two or more implants to anchor a row of replacement teeth. It's fixed, stable, and doesn't rely on your remaining natural teeth for support.

Who is it for: Patients missing several teeth in a row who want a permanent, non-removable solution. Stronger and more stable than a traditional bridge, with no impact on surrounding healthy teeth.

All-on-4

What it is: All-on-4 replaces an entire arch of teeth using just four strategically placed implants. It's a full set of fixed, non-removable teeth — designed to look natural and restore full chewing function. For patients who've been living with dentures or failing teeth, this can be life-changing.

Who is it for: Patients who are missing all or most teeth in one arch, struggling with loose dentures, or facing the extraction of remaining failing teeth. All-on-4 is often possible even for patients with some bone loss, which makes it an option when other implant approaches aren't.

Bone Grafting

What it is: When you've been missing teeth for a while, the jawbone in that area can lose density — which means there may not be enough bone to support an implant. A bone graft rebuilds that foundation. It's a preparatory step that makes implants possible for patients who might otherwise be told they're "not candidates.”

Who is it for: Patients who want implants but have been told they don't have enough bone. Also common for patients who've had teeth extracted and waited before pursuing implants. The graft creates the foundation; the implant comes after healing.

Implant Restoration

What it is: If you already have an implant post placed by another provider — or an older implant that needs a new crown — implant restoration is the process of designing and placing the final tooth that sits on top. This is the visible part: the crown, bridge, or prosthetic that makes the implant complete.

Who is it for: Patients with existing implant posts that need a new or replacement restoration. Also for patients who had implants placed by a surgeon and were referred here for the final prosthetic work — which is exactly what a prosthodontist specializes in.
