Some people are missing one or all of their teeth due to extensive dental decay or gum disease. Others may be missing teeth due to trauma from an accident during athletic activities or a motor vehicle accident. Some individuals have conditions in which they simply were born without one or more permanent teeth. Dental Implants are an excellent solution to replacing one or more missing teeth. Dental Implants have been successfully used for over 25 years and new innovations in their design and use is an exciting area of dentistry today. Dental Implants can provide a natural looking and feeling replacement for missing teeth. They can also be used to stabilize or anchor full dentures and partial dentures. If you currently have removable dentures or partial dentures that are not secure and stable when you eat or talk, you could be a candidate for implants to increase your ability to enjoy eating and ensure comfort and confidence. If you are interested in learning more about implant dentistry and if it is an appropriate option for you, please call our office to schedule an evaluation.

Dental implants involve several phases of treatment which often involves several dental specialists. Communication by Dr. Gross with the patient and the specialists is critical to the successful outcome of the treatment. The initial phase involves an in depth evaluation and examination of the patient including medical and dental history and xrays, photographs and other images. An analysis of how your teeth and jaws function is also necessary prior to any treatment. Dr. Gross colaberates extensively with the top periodontal and oral and maxillofacial surgical specialists in the planning of all phases of her patients’ treatment. When indicated, the patients medical physician is contacted to ensure the best treatment outcome. She will then meet with you to discuss the options for treatment in order to determine which one best meets your goals, needs and budget. Only after all of the planning is complete, the periodontist or oral surgeon then places the implant(s) which act as the replacement for the lost root. The next phase is the restoration of the implant(s) with crowns or dentures. In some select cases, implants can be used almost immediately after they are placed or they may require a period of time to heal prior to the final restorations.

Testimonials

Dr. Gross is the first dentist that I’ve had where I feel safe and can just relax. She’s not satisfied with good-she strives for excellence. I am so happy to have my new smile. Dr. Gross’ staff is friendly & professional. I highly recommend her & her clinic.

-Gwen

Dr. Gross worked with me and an orthodontist to create a plan tailored specifically to my circumstances. It took more than two years to complete, including moving some of my teeth with braces before veneers were applied. She was so patient and so gentle and I am so thrilled with the results.

-Cathie

Dr. Gross has been a blessing. She has taken time, effort and patience to address my unique dental needs. She has explained the entire process, from getting my adult teeth into place with braces to when the crowns could be placed on the implants. With so many teeth needing to be replaced and my limited funds, Dr. Gross has worked with me for almost five years. Her knowledge, advocacy for me as a patient, and her genuine caring attitude has been priceless, and has put me at ease for a process I dreaded. Barb, her office manager, the other office staff and technicians have always been helpful, accommodating and caring. Together, they make a not-so-fun experience bearable and as comfortable as possible.

- Laura

Dr. Gross always took extra time to explain the process piece by piece. And due to the very delicate nature of how a person's front teeth contribute to their overall smile, Dr. Gross made sure that the final look was exactly what I wanted. The results speak for themselves, my new front teeth are beautifully crafted and fit perfect with my wide-eye smile. I have to thank Dr. Gross and all of staff for the time, energy, and smiles that went behind my now very grown-up teeth!

-Allison

I will be receiving my undergrad degree in the next few months, which has led to me to look back on some of the more important experiences in my life to date. Having a smile I can be proud if is one of those experiences. Now is a good time for me to say thank you for the amazing job you have done managing my oral health over pretty much my entire life.

- Kristin

Though many people compliment me on my large smile, nobody knows the extensive process I went through from the age of 12, when we discovered that I was missing my lateral incisors. Dr. Gross worked endlessly with my parents, an outstanding orthodontist, and a talented periodontist. Collaboratively, they provided me with several retainers containing false teeth, braces (twice), a few mouth surgeries, a bone graft, and lastly the procedure to make my false teeth permanent. It was a considerably long process, but thanks to Dr. Gross and my parents who generously paid for every procedure, I was able to complete all of my operations before I went off to college. I may have complained about endless dentist appointments and braces at the time, but I could not be more grateful for my seemingly priceless smile today.

- Abby

We are a three generational family receiving high quality care from Susan Gross, DDS. As a senior member of the family, I had very complex dental problems. Dr. Susan Gross was able to solve my problems with her knowledge of restorative and cosmetic dentistry. She has given me back my smile!
