From replacing a single tooth, to rebuilding an entire jaw, dental implants have become the new 'Standard of Care' for replacing missing teeth.
From single tooth implants to full-arch hybrid ceramic bridgework, Dr. Hlavaty specializes in creating the right implant treatment, customized to fit each patient’s needs.
Bone grafting is used to rebuild the bone of the jaw, repairing damage due to infections or tooth loss. It is used to maximize the bony foundation for dental implants, ensuring there’s enough healthy bone for the implant to be secure and to provide natural-looking results that last for years & years.
