Dental Implants

Dental implants replace missing teeth with a stable, root-like foundation that supports a crown, bridge, or denture. They are often considered when a tooth has been lost to decay, injury, or gum disease, and they can help restore a more natural bite and appearance. At Dental Office of Dr. Salm, Kanner, and Grandeau, implant planning and restoration are part of a broader range of tooth-replacement options we offer, so care can be matched to what each patient's mouth actually needs.

Planning Your Implant Treatment

Before any implant work begins, careful assessment of the jawbone and surrounding teeth helps determine the right approach.

Digital X-Rays — give a clear, low-radiation view of bone structure and tooth positioning.
Intraoral Scanner — captures precise digital impressions used in designing implant-supported restorations, without messy molds.
Overjet AI X-Ray Analysis — adds a second layer of review to imaging used in treatment planning.

Implant-Related Services We Offer

Bone Grafting — builds up bone that has thinned, so it can properly support an implant.
Ridge Preservation — helps maintain the jawbone's shape after a tooth is removed.
Implant-Supported Bridges & Dentures — replace multiple missing teeth using implants as anchors.
All-on-4 / All-on-X — a full-arch approach using a set number of implants to support a complete row of teeth.
Implant Restoration & Care — ongoing maintenance to help keep implants and surrounding gum tissue healthy.

Comfort During Treatment

For patients who feel anxious about implant procedures, nitrous oxide sedation and computer-controlled Wand anesthesia are available to help keep visits comfortable.
