The Fixed Tooth Solution For A Confident, Functional Smile

What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is a fixed tooth replacement made up of a titanium post, abutment, and crown that looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth. Missing teeth can affect one’s ability to eat, speak, and feel confident, but implants restore full function and stability.

They also prevent bone loss and support long-term oral health, making them the top tooth replacement option. Dr. Michael Fioritto delivers expert implant care at Cleveland Implant Institute in Concord and Mentor, OH.

Dental Implants Vs. Removable Dentures

While dentures have been a traditional option for replacing teeth, they have significant drawbacks. Dentures can slip, cause discomfort, and require frequent adjustments. They also fail to prevent bone loss, which can lead to changes in facial appearance over time. Dental implants fuse with the jawbone to provide stability and prevent deterioration.

Unlike dentures, implants function like real teeth, allowing you to eat all your favorite foods without worry. At Cleveland Implant Institute, we help Concord & Mentor, OH, patients achieve a confident, lasting smile with high-quality implant solutions.

Why the Cleveland Implant Institute Is the Leading Choice for Dental Implants

Our board-certified implant specialist, Dr. Mike, has placed and restored thousands of implants with exceptional results. As one of only 14 implant specialists in Ohio, Dr. Mike brings unmatched expertise and experience to every procedure.

Unlike general dental offices, we focus exclusively on implant dentistry, offering specialized care tailored to your needs. With our commitment to patient comfort, advanced sedation options, advanced technology, and a compassionate approach, we make the dental implant process as smooth as possible.

Your Step-by-Step Dental Implant Journey

Consult & Planning

Your journey begins with a free consultation, during which we evaluate your oral health, take digital scans, and discuss your goals to create a personalized treatment plan. Dr. Mike will explain the procedure in detail and answer any questions you may have. We will also discuss your dental financing options to find the one that fits your budget.

The Procedure

During your procedure, we’ll follow your personalized treatment plan and administer your selected sedation, performing extractions or bone grafting if needed. Using advanced technology, we’ll place your dental implants and attach abutments and a temporary restoration so you leave with a complete smile. Most patients experience minimal downtime and can resume normal activities within 24 hours.

Follow-Up Visits

After your procedure, we schedule follow-up visits to monitor healing and ensure your implant integrates properly. Our team will provide you with aftercare instructions and support you every step of the way. Any necessary adjustments are made to ensure optimal healing.

Healing & Final Restorations

Over the next 3-4 months, your implants will fuse with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration. Once healing is complete, we attach the final custom crown, bridge, or denture, completing your new smile. This hand-crafted restoration is designed to match your facial symmetry, skin tone, and mouth shape so you have a natural-looking, comfortable, and fully functional new smile!

Dental Implants Are a Smart Investment in Your Health and Confidence

Dental implants are more than just a cosmetic solution. They are a long-term investment in your overall health and well-being. Unlike temporary fixes, tooth implants prevent bone loss, maintain facial structure, and restore full dental function.

At Cleveland Implant Institute, we offer various financing options to ensure dental implant costs don’t hinder your new smile. If you’re concerned about the average cost of dental implants or tooth implant cost, our team will work with you to find a solution that fits your budget. We believe everyone deserves a healthy, confident smile and are committed to making that possible for you.
