Dental Implants


What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are artificial tooth replacements that were first developed half a century ago by a Swedish scientist named Per-Ingvar Branemark. Implants arose from the patient's need to secure loose-fitting dentures. Since the advent of the implant, engineering and enhancements to the implant have enabled dentists to expand the implant's usefulness, including the replacement of missing or lost teeth. Today, implant techniques provide a wide range of tooth replacement solutions including:

  • Single Tooth Replacement
  • Anterior Replacement
  • Posterior Replacement
  • Full Upper and Lower Teeth Replacement
  • Teeth in a Day 
  • In many cases, the implant surgery can be done by Dr. Fisch in our office under local anesthesia (Novacaine) only.  There is no discomfort during the procedure and for many patients, there is no post operative discomfort either.
  • Please call our office to schedule an examination and see if you are a candidate for implants.
