Choose Your Solution for a Stronger Bite

Whether you are missing one tooth or many teeth, implants can benefit you. Implants replace both root and crown portions of teeth, and integrate with the jaw bone to form a solid, secure connection. Once your periodontist places these artificial tooth roots into your jaw, implants stimulate the bone much like natural tooth roots. This encourages new bone growth and ensures your bite remains strong. Once we place your implants and the sites have healed, we refer you back to your dentist for implant restoration.

We offer tooth replacement solutions for single, multiple, and full arch tooth loss. These options offer the lasting, natural-looking tooth replacement you deserve. Our implant solutions are extremely versatile and flexible, and can replace any number of missing teeth. At our practice, we offer:

  • Single-Tooth Implant – Add a dental crown to an implant to fill the gap created by a lost tooth.
  • Multiple Tooth Implants – If you are missing more than one tooth, we can secure your replacement teeth with implants. Implants provide a healthy, more natural alternative to bridges, which will never shift, decay, or require root canal treatment.
  • Full Arch Dental Implants – If you are missing an entire row of teeth, you can replace your complete arch. A series of implants can secure and stabilize dentures without any denture adhesives.

Treating Infection Around Dental Implants

Peri-implantitis is a serious condition involving the gum and bone surrounding implants. Peri-implantitis is caused by factors like poor oral hygiene, active gum disease, diabetes, and smoking. Excess dental cement used to hold crowns and bite misalignment can also contribute to the early onset of peri-implantitis.

Symptoms of peri-implantitis include:

  • Red or inflamed gums
  • Bleeding
  • Swelling
  • Pain
  • Pus
  • Deep pocketing
  • Implant mobility
  • Exposed metal threads

Dr. Price uses both non-surgical and surgical techniques for peri-implantitis care. Our non-surgical approach involves removal of irritants from around the dental implant, like bacteria and tartar buildup. We may also use anti-microbial solutions to disinfect the site and local or systemic antibiotics to control the infection. He also offers a minimally invasive method of treating this condition known as the REPaiR™ laser protocol.
