Frequently Asked Questions
Many of our patients come to us after being turned away by traditional dental offices or corporate networks. Because advanced implant dentistry is our core focus, we have the specialized technology and surgical expertise required to solve complex cases. By utilizing 3D CBCT scans to carefully evaluate your jaw health, Dr. Adam is frequently able to use advanced bone-grafting techniques to rebuild a stable foundation, helping patients who thought their hope for a permanent smile was lost.
No, you’ll never have to worry about leaving our practice toothless or with a visible gap. On the day of your procedure, Dr. Adam will place your implant anchors and securely attach a functional, beautiful set of temporary teeth before you leave. This “Same-Day Smile” approach protects your privacy, preserves your appearance, and allows you to smile and speak confidently while your jawbone naturally heals over the following few months.
The surgical placement itself is typically completed in the morning and you’ll walk out that afternoon with temporary teeth. Following surgery, your jawbone requires roughly 3 to 6 months to naturally heal and fuse permanently around the lifetime titanium anchors (a process called osseointegration). Once Dr. Adam verifies your implants are healing as planned, our lab custom-mills your final, permanent Zirconia teeth, which are securely attached during a follow-up visit.

Both are premium, permanent restorations custom-milled from solid Zirconia, but they are engineered for different anatomical needs. An All-on-X system supports a single, continuous bridge and uses a custom-shaped pink ceramic base to beautifully replace lost bone and tissue volume, restoring your natural facial proportions and lip support. Conversely, the 3-on-6™ system uses six vertically placed implants to anchor three separate, independent bridges that sit directly flush against your natural gums, tracing the contours of your mouth without an artificial gum base.
Yes, smokers can successfully receive dental implants. However, nicotine constricts blood vessels, which slows down your body’s natural healing response and can lower the success rate of the procedure. Dr. Adam works closely with patients who smoke or vape to create a customized safety plan, which includes temporarily pausing nicotine use for a specific window before and after surgery to give your implants the absolute best foundation to heal properly.
Because your final teeth are precision-milled from solid Zirconia, they’re incredibly dense and virtually immune to chipping, cracking, or breaking under normal chewing forces. Titanium posts cannot decay or develop cavities. To ensure you feel secure in your investment, our practice stands behind our work by backing our smile transformations with a comprehensive Lifetime Warranty.
