Comprehensive Dental Implant Solutions

A Lasting Solution for Missing Teeth

Missing teeth can affect more than just your smile—they can impact your confidence, how you eat, and your overall oral health. When there's a gap, nearby teeth might shift, you could experience bone loss in your jaw, and over time, even your facial structure can change. That's where dental implants come in. At Maine Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Center, we offer dental implants that act like natural tooth roots. Made from biocompatible materials like titanium, these implants provide a sturdy foundation for replacement teeth that look and feel natural. Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, implants offer unmatched stability and durability, giving you a solution that truly feels like your own teeth.

The Implant Procedure

Step-by-Step Guidance Through Your Transformation

Comprehensive Evaluation and Planning

Your journey to a renewed smile starts with a thorough evaluation by Dr. Harriman. This includes a detailed dental exam, advanced imaging tests like X-rays or 3D scans, and a review of their medical history and treatment goals. This comprehensive assessment ensures that each patient is a good candidate for implants and allows us to create a customized treatment plan tailored to their specific needs.

Implant Placement Surgery

The next step involves the precise surgical placement of the dental implant into the jawbone. Under local anesthesia or sedation for maximum comfort, Dr. Harriman makes a small incision in the gum to expose the bone. A precise space is prepared, and the titanium implant is carefully inserted. The gum is stitched back over the implant, and a healing cap may be placed to protect the area. Our skilled surgical team ensures the procedure is performed with the highest level of expertise, providing peace of mind to you.

Osseointegration and Healing

After the surgery, a natural process called osseointegration occurs, where the jawbone grows and fuses with the implant. This creates a strong and stable foundation for the new tooth. During this healing period, patients will have regular check-ups at Maine Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Center to monitor their progress and ensure successful integration. Our diligent follow-up care makes sure the implants are securely anchored, enhancing long-term outcomes and patient satisfaction.

Abutment Placement and Prosthetic Attachment

Once osseointegration is complete, a small connector piece called an abutment is attached to the implant post. This abutment will hold the custom-made crown, bridge, or denture. The referring dentist will take impressions of the patients teeth to fabricate the prosthesis, ensuring it matches your natural teeth in color, shape, and size. Referring dentist will pay attention to detail guarantees that the final restoration not only looks natural but also functions seamlessly, providing a comfortable and aesthetically pleasing result for patients.

Final Restoration and Follow-Up Care

The final step involves attaching the prosthetic tooth to the abutment, completing the smile transformation. The referring dentist ensures the fit is perfect and that the patient's bite feels natural. Patients will receive comprehensive instructions on caring for their new implant, including maintaining good oral hygiene and scheduling regular dental visits.

Check out what our happy clients are saying.

A Personal Touch

My son had his wisdom teeth removed last month. Dr. Harriman called me personally to schedule the appointment and explained the procedure and what to expect before during and after. The staff was so friendly and answered all my questions and after care. They called me that evening to check on him and a few days after. He did not have stitches so the site looked odd this was about 2 weeks after this was on a Friday I called the office and Dr. Harriman called me back right away. I sent him pictures and it was normal. But he offered to see him Saturday morning on his day off. I wasn't worried and everything turned out fine. I am so grateful for the kindness and attentiveness of the doctors and office staff at this office. I highly recommend them.

Where to Begin?

I don’t even know where to begin. I was referred here to get some extensive dental procedures done, and I have never felt more comfortable and well taken care of anywhere else. Dr. Harriman is extremely kind and caring. He is incredible at what he does! I have very high anxiety and he has always been so patient and supportive of what I needed. I truly cannot thank him and his staff for everything they have done for me. So thankful I was referred to him! Also big shout out to Shay one of the assistants there, she is also so incredibly kind and I also want to thank her for always being so helpful. She always makes me feel better when she is in the room with me! Thank you all so much!
