If you have lost one or more teeth and are eager to learn more regarding your tooth replacement options, you may be interested in learning about dental implants.

Dental implants are extremely thin, durable, biocompatible titanium screws that are topped off with a dental crown to replace an entire missing tooth—including the root!

Implants are the only surgical and permanent procedure that patients can enjoy for decades. Unlike dentures or bridges, this restoration never needs to be replaced or refitted since the jaw bone is stimulated and does not recede.

Tooth implants allow patients to eat whatever foods they want (or at least your favorite foods), speak clearly, smile often, and never without fear of the dental implant shifting or falling out. Roseville, MN restorative dentists at i-Implant Dentistry, are highly skilled in tooth restoration treatments.

While modern dental implants are precision crafted to look just like a real tooth, history has shown us that our ancestors have always worked towards restoring missing teeth.

Dr. Saad Bassas is a board-certified prosthodontist and a Diplomate of both the American Board of Prosthodontics and the American Board of Oral Implantology/Implant Dentistry — a dual distinction held by only a small number of dentists in the United States. He completed residency training in both oral surgery and prosthodontics, which qualifies him to surgically place and prosthetically restore dental implants himself rather than dividing that care between two providers. With more than 20 years of experience, Dr. Bassas performs hundreds of implant and bone-grafting procedures each year at i-Implant Dentistry in Roseville and Sartell, Minnesota, and is specially licensed to provide IV sedation. He has practiced dentistry in Minnesota since 2003.
