Dental Implants & Full-Arch Restoration

Achieve a Healthy & Confident Smile

If you're experiencing tooth loss, dental implants are an ideal solution that can help restore aesthetics and functionality. In addition to restoration, these state-of-the-art innovations prevent jaw bone deterioration and preserve facial structure.

Missing or failing most of your teeth? Full-arch restoration replaces a complete arch with natural-looking teeth supported by as few as four dental implants, and Dr. Gilbert uses 3D imaging to plan each treatment.

  • Single and multiple dental implants
  • Full-arch restoration on as few as four implants
  • Zygomatic implants for severe jaw bone loss
  • Metal-free zirconia implants

Your care begins with a consultation with Dr. Gilbert, who may use 3D scans to evaluate your condition and devise a personalized treatment plan.
