    Secure Your Smile with Implants

    Dental implants are a revolutionary advancement in restorative dentistry.

    They serve as a solid solution for missing teeth, integrating seamlessly into your dental structure. Unlike removable dentures, dental implants provide a fixed, natural-looking alternative that significantly improves your quality of life by enhancing functionality and aesthetics.

    With dental implants, you can fully embrace and unleash the power of your smile.

    What are Dental Implants?

    You can think of Dental Implants as if they are artificial tooth roots, engineered to establish a mechanical and chemical bond with your jawbone.

    They resemble "screw-in teeth" and lay a robust foundation for replacement teeth. As your jawbone grows, it naturally integrates with the implant, making it a part of your existing jaw and gum structure.

    Types of Dental Implants

    There are two primary types of dental implants:

    1. Endosteal
      These implants are placed directly in the jawbone. Made of titanium and shaped like tiny screws, they're the most commonly used type of implant.
    2. Subperiosteal
      These dental implants sit under the gum, but either on or above the jawbone. This type of implant is usually chosen for patients lacking enough healthy jawbone and who cannot or do not wish to undergo a bone augmentation procedure to rebuild it.

    The Reality of Dental Implants

    You might wonder, are dental implants safe? The response is a resounding yes.

    Dental implant procedures are deemed safe with a high success rate. At Sage Dental, we prioritize the safety of dental implants. Our skilled team ensures that the procedure is conducted with the highest level of precision under decades of dentistry experience.

    The Importance of Dental Implants

    Dental implants are crucial for maintaining the structural integrity of your jawbone following tooth loss. They avert bone loss, uphold the shape of your face, and prevent adjacent teeth from changing positions.

    The advantages of dental implants go beyond merely aesthetic, promoting enhanced overall oral health.

    Replacing Missing Teeth

    Missing teeth can affect your confidence and overall oral health. Dental implants offer a long-lasting solution for missing teeth, unlike other options that may need regular replacement or adjustment.

    Benefits of Dental Implants

    Dental implants come with numerous benefits. They resemble and function like natural teeth, are long-lasting, and are designed to endure. Implants may also help retain tooth-supporting bone that naturally degenerates when a tooth is lost.

    Preparing for Dental Implants

    Consultation and Evaluation

    Before you can get dental implants, a comprehensive consultation and evaluation with our experienced Implant Dentists at Sage Dental are mandatory. This involves a thorough examination, a review of your medical history, and advanced dental imaging.

    Pre-Implant Procedures

    Depending on your jawbone's condition, pre-implant procedures, like bone grafting, or a sinus lift procedure when there's not enough bone in the molar or premolar area, might be necessary.

    The Dental Implant Procedure at Sage Dental

    Your journey towards a healthier smile commences with an in-depth oral health evaluation by our expert team. We'll assess your oral tissues and jawbone health to establish if you're a good candidate for dental implants.

    If implants are suitable for you, our team will guide you throughout the implant process, from the initial surgery to attaching the replacement tooth.

    The Cost of Dental Implants

    We understand that cost is a significant consideration when thinking about dental implants. It's challenging to provide a "one-size-fits-all" figure for the cost of dental implants, but we strive to offer affordable and competitive pricing. During your consultation, we'll provide a detailed cost estimate tailored to your specific needs.

    Factors Affecting the Cost

    Several factors influence the cost of dental implants, including the number of teeth being replaced and the number of implants required to support your new teeth. Supplementary procedures, like bone grafts or sinus lifts, may also impact the overall cost.

    Insurance and Financing Options

    The extent of coverage for dental implants greatly depends on your insurance provider and plan. We recommend contacting your insurance company for specifics regarding your coverage. At Sage Dental, we're dedicated to helping you navigate your insurance benefits to make the most out of your plan. We also provide dental financing options to make the procedure more affordable.

    Patients Also Ask Us

    Are dental implants painful?

    During the procedure, pain is typically managed through the use of anesthesia. Any post-surgical discomfort varies per individual but can generally be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.

    How long do dental implants last?

    With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. However, the crown part may need replacement in about 10-15 years.

    Can dental implants get cavities?

    No, dental implants themselves cannot develop cavities. Nonetheless, maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial to protect your gums and remaining natural teeth.

    Is everyone a candidate for dental implants?

    Most people who are in good general health and have healthy gums and adequate bone in the jaw to hold an implant can get dental implants. However, certain chronic diseases may contraindicate dental implant surgery.

    How do I care for my dental implants?

    Treat your dental implants as you would your natural teeth. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups are vital for maintaining your implants.

    Post-Procedure Care for Dental Implants

    Aftercare and Maintenance

    Adhering to good oral hygiene is essential after implantation. This includes routine brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups.

    Signs of a Failing Implant and How to Address Them

    Although rare, complications can occur with dental implants. Signs of a failing implant might include a loose implant crown, tenderness when biting, swollen tissue, or bleeding when brushing or flossing around the implant. At Sage Dental, we are here to help if you experience any of these symptoms. Don't hesitate to reach out to us for assistance.

    I came upon this office as they took over my regular dentist office. I was nervous about losing my dentist of 20 plus years but I had nothing to be worried about. They have been amazing and I am not the easiest patient. I had a major dental issue and was sent to their main office which is just a block away. I have been beyond pleasantly surprised at the quality of the work and the ease of using them. I would highly recommend. Today I had my regular dental cleaning there as they were still finishing up my implants. It was a breeze and I do not like cleanings at all as my teeth are sensitive. I would highly recommend this office

    dr. Rahim & Caitlyn were both so incredibly friendly! I felt like they listed to all of my concerns and met me with multiple solutions to best fit what I was looking for. I left with no questions or doubts and I am totally confident that I am in good hands here. Super happy that I made the switch over to sage dental!

    I was a patient of Sage Dental about 4-5 years ago. I stopped going after a horrendous experience with Dr. Maria Tugbang. Firstly, her punctuality was almost always an issue as she was consistently 20-30 minutes behind schedule and I would be sitting in the dentist chair wasting my time until she finally showed up. She would also seem to choose unnecessary and expensive treatments, like regular follow up appointments with herself after hygienist cleanings, so I would have to pay a fee for the cleaning and another fee for seeing her.The worst experience was when I was considering getting veneers. Dr. Tugbang initially recommended that I get some orthodontic work to correct the relapse that had occurred since I had braces, which made sense. But then during a visit, she changed her tune and asked me how much the orthodontist was going to charge me. I told her $1500. And then she said, "rather than giving $1500 to the orthodontist, why don't you give me the money instead and rather than moving the tooth back into it's correct position with braces, I'll just grind away most of the tooth and put a cap on it to make it look like it's in the right position"?!Now, I'm not a dentist, but intuitively that does not sound like a good idea. It does however sound like a very self-interested and greedy move by a so-called health care professional who wants to make some extra money by recommending a procedure that honestly sounds harmful. She was also contradicting her own previous advice. I told her that her suggestion was not what she recommended last time, and she suddenly became incredibly rude and defensive in her reply, so much so that the hygienists present were noticeably alarmed and were actively trying to perform damage control.I was visibly angry and the receptionist told me there was no charge for the visit and suggested that perhaps I would consider seeing Dr. Kara instead, (who apparently had just purchased the clinic from Dr Tugbang). I declined.Anyway, I realize that "Dr." Tugbang has retired from dentistry, (good riddance), and will thankfully no longer be offering quack advice for her own financial gain. I sincerely hope Dr. Kara is a more scrupulous professional going forward. I just had to get this off my chest by writing this review, and will most likely delete it later so it doesn't affect the ratings for the new owner of Sage.

    Visited Dr Rahim for a second opinion on my highly rated provider. They took my fears (anxiety) and concerns (spiralling) very seriously. They took their time and did not rush and were gentle which as someone with previous childhood trauma means the world who as a grown man would cry and shake at the dentist. After this experience I decided to fully change to their clinic. During a cleaning it was the same experience. I'm quite pleased with their facilities as well; they have headphones to help with the noise and their office is tidy and has state of the art technology to show you the issue in depth. Dr. Rahim always goes into detail about what causes the issue, how it can be treated through different methods and whether it's a concern or not. I appreciate his explanations.

    I have been a patient of Sage Dental for about 5 years now, and have had a lot of dental work done by them,including implants.I had gone to Sage Dental with a badly fitting bridge,that was very uncomfortable to say the least. Dr Kara was able to give me implants and I can’t thank him enough. His staff are true professionals and amazing. I appreciate everything about this dentist,and especially the painless,sedation therapy I had for my extractions. I am convinced that Dr Kara is the best of the best at his job,and his staff are very professional and friendly too.I strongly recommend Sage for all dental work.

    First time here at Sage Dental. The office is very modern and has the latest technology in Dental Equipment. All the staff were very friendly and informative which made me feel welcome. I have a difficult case needing many tooth extractions and was very stressed and worried when I arrived. When I left their office I was relaxed and relieved about my situation. Dr. Shafia Kara was extremely informative. He took the time to explain every issue in detail and answered all my questions. I am so glad I came to Sage Dental. I would highly recommend them for your dental needs.

    After getting options from multiple different dentists, I ultimately went with Dr. Kara at Sage Dental and I couldn’t be happier! My Invisalign treatment went as planned and with no surprises. I enjoy going to Sage Dental and find that the dental assistant Taeya was comforting and very supportive along my 2 year Invisalign journey. I was recommended to Sage Dental by a friend and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to my friends and family! 5 stars!

    With previous bad experiences at other Dentists and high anxiety going to Dental Offices. My first visit to Sage was absolutely amazing. I felt relaxed, well cared for and every step and process was well explained to me. From the front of house staff, the hygienists and the Doctors. Everyone I dealt with was so kind and understanding of my fears.I will be back again
