Dental Implants

Examples of Dental implants to replace missing of failing teeth. The photographs are actual cases treated by Dr. Silvers and restored by the referring Dentist or Prosthodontist. It is important to note that successful outcomes result from careful planning by the dental "team". We work together to achieve for you the best outcome possible.

A molar implant with test peg attached. After 3 months, the implant is tested with a resonance frequency analyzer to determine the stability of the implant.
This ensures that the implant is stabile before being restored with a crown.

Examples of actual cases with descriptions of the procedures involved with dental implants Most implants placed in the anterior area can be done immediately, at the same time the tooth is removed. This allows for a 3 month period before the final restoration . Posterior (molar) teeth are usually done in two stages, removal of the tooth with grafting of the extraction socket and then implant placement 8-10 weeks later. A provisional or temporary tooth is fabricated to develop the soft tissue while the implant is "integrating" to the bone for a natural or esthetic appearance..
