Dental Implants

If you have missing teeth or teeth damaged beyond repair, dental implants can restore functionality to your mouth. Since dental implants look and feel like natural teeth, they help you achieve the beautiful, confident smile you deserve.

As a member of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI) with extensive training in placing implants, Dr. Abrahante offers advanced procedures, including complex surgeries like All-on-X. He has also published articles in national journals on topics such as anterior implant aesthetics, demonstrating his expertise in achieving exceptional results.

Once the implants are placed, Dr. Abrahante will customize the color and shape of your crown or denture for a natural-looking smile.

Dental implants are the only tooth replacement option that actually helps stimulate bone growth and prevent bone loss.
