Procedure · Dental implants

Replace missing teeth with a stable, lasting foundation.

Dental implants act like tooth roots, supporting a crown, bridge, or denture while helping maintain the jawbone and surrounding oral structures.

Why it matters

Why replace a missing tooth?

Missing teeth can affect chewing, speech, appearance, and the way the remaining teeth meet. Replacing a tooth can protect more than the visible gap.

01 / Preserve

Prevent bone loss

An implant transfers biting forces into the jaw, helping maintain bone in an area that would otherwise lose stimulation.

02 / Protect

Stop teeth from shifting

Filling the open space helps protect the alignment of nearby teeth and the way the upper and lower teeth meet.

03 / Function

Restore chewing power

A stable implant-supported tooth can make it easier to bite and chew with confidence.

04 / Renew

Look and feel natural

An implant supports a restoration designed to replace the missing tooth without altering healthy neighboring teeth.

What All-on-X means

One fixed set of teeth. Four implants.

All-on-X replaces all the teeth in an upper or lower arch with a full set of fixed teeth supported by four dental implants. The new teeth stay in place—you do not remove them like a regular denture.

Considering a full arch?

A fresh start when teeth are failing.

Implant technology, step by step

From a 3D scan to navigated placement.

The implant plan connects detailed imaging, restorative goals, and live surgical guidance. Each stage helps Dr. Shnayder understand the anatomy and carry the virtual plan into the procedure.

01 / Capture

3D CBCT scan

A cone-beam CT scan shows the available bone and the position of nearby teeth, sinuses, and nerve pathways in three dimensions.

02 / Plan

Virtual implant planning

The scan is used to evaluate implant size, angle, depth, and position in relation to the future restoration and surrounding anatomy.

03 / Navigate

X-Guide placement

During surgery, X-Guide tracks the drill in real time against the 3D plan, displaying its position, angle, and depth as the implant site is prepared.

04 / Coordinate

Restorative handoff

The surgical position is coordinated with the restoring dentist so healing and the final crown, bridge, or denture can follow the same plan.

CBCT imaging guides the plan

The CS 9600 cone-beam CT scanner captures a focused three-dimensional view of the implant site. Unlike a flat X-ray, the scan lets the surgical team evaluate bone width and height, trace important anatomy, and plan the implant in relation to the intended tooth before treatment begins.

Real-time surgical guidance

X-Guide Dynamic 3D Navigation

X-Guide from X-Nav Technologies connects the virtual plan to the procedure. Similar to GPS, it tracks the handpiece and patient anatomy, then shows the planned path and live drill position on screen. Dr. Shnayder can see position, angle, and depth while preparing the site and placing the implant, without relying on the scan as a static reference alone.

The plan behind the procedure

What the team sees before placement

Three-dimensional CBCT implant planning view showing the jaw, planned implants, and nerve pathway — Multiple CBCT views help evaluate the implant site and nearby anatomy.

Three-dimensional CBCT rendering showing planned implants and jaw anatomy — The planned implant position can be viewed together with bone, teeth, and nerve pathways.

Technology supports clinical judgment. The exact imaging, grafting, navigation, and restorative sequence is tailored to the anatomy and goals of each case.

Your replacement options

A fixed bridge, removable partial, denture, or implant-supported restoration may be considered. Imaging and an examination help determine which option fits the available bone, health history, and restorative plan.

Titanium and zirconia implant options

Dr. Shnayder places both titanium and zirconia dental implants. The material choice is personalized to the patient, taking into account the treatment site, bone and gum anatomy, restorative plan, clinical needs, and patient preferences.

How implant treatment works

Dr. Shnayder places the selected implant in the planned position. Many modern implants use a single-stage approach and may be ready for restorative treatment after a healing period, depending on stability and bone quality.

Implant care is coordinated with the restoring dentist so the surgical and final tooth positions work together.

Bone and site preparation

An extraction and implant can sometimes be combined. When bone volume is limited, grafting may be recommended before or during implant placement to create adequate support. Learn more about bone grafting and site development.
