Bone Preservation
The post stimulates the jawbone the way a natural root does, which stops the ridge from shrinking the way it does beneath a gap or a denture.
Does a replacement tooth ever feel like your own? An implant comes closer than anything else, which is why dental implants in Carmichael, CA, have become the default answer for a single missing tooth. Marconi Dental Group places and restores them in the same office.
A dental implant is a titanium post placed into the jawbone to replace a missing tooth root, topped with a custom crown once the bone has fused around it. Dr. Dylan Kovar places and restores implants himself, backed by numerous live surgical courses and 90 to 120 continuing education credits a year. Dr. Werner Visagé is available for cases where the surrounding gum and bone need work first.
The post stimulates the jawbone the way a natural root does, which stops the ridge from shrinking the way it does beneath a gap or a denture.
Biting force transfers straight into the bone rather than onto the gum, so you chew apples and steak without thinking about which side to use.
An implant stands on its own in the jaw, which means the healthy teeth on either side are never reshaped in order to carry a replacement.
With good hygiene the post itself often lasts for decades, and only the crown on top is likely to need replacing somewhere down the line.
From your first exam to the final result, here's exactly what to expect — calm, clear, and never rushed.
Schedule AppointmentA three-dimensional scan maps bone volume, nerve position, and sinus location, and the placement is planned digitally well before surgery day.
The titanium post is placed into the bone under local anesthetic, with oral sedation available for anyone who would rather be more relaxed.
Bone grows into the surface of the implant over several months, which is the biological step that gives the final crown all of its stability.
A small connector is attached to the healed implant and an iTero scan captures the site, giving the lab everything it needs for your crown.
Your custom crown is seated, checked against the neighboring teeth for shade and contact, and then adjusted until the bite closes correctly.
Single Gap — You lost one tooth to a fracture, decay, or an extraction, and you would rather not reshape the healthy teeth sitting on either side of it.
Unrestorable Tooth — A tooth is cracked below the gumline or too decayed to hold a crown, so replacing it beats spending more on a repair that is going to fail.
Loose Denture — An existing denture shifts around while you eat or talk, and implants can anchor it so that it stays where you put it every single day.
Shrinking Ridge — The jaw has begun narrowing where teeth were lost, which changes your profile and makes any future replacement considerably more complicated.
Dr. Kovar performs the surgery and builds the final crown himself, so nobody hands you off midway or blames the other office for a poor fit.
Dr. Kovar has completed numerous live surgical courses in implant placement and takes 90 to 120 continuing education credits every single year.
Bone grafting and sinus lifts happen at this office, so patients told elsewhere that they lacked the bone still have a path to an implant.
CBCT imaging locates the nerve canal and the sinus floor in three dimensions, which is what keeps placement accurate and recovery predictable.

Implants are a months-long commitment, and being passed between offices is where most of the frustration comes from. Everything here happens in one place with one team.
Here are just a few reasons our patients love us:

The post itself frequently lasts several decades when the gums around it stay healthy and the bite is well balanced. The crown on top wears like any other restoration and may need replacing after ten to fifteen years.
Often yes, since bone grafting and sinus lifts rebuild the volume an implant needs to integrate. Dr. Kovar reviews your CBCT scan and tells you plainly whether grafting would put an implant within reach.
Most cases run four to eight months from placement to final crown, because the bone needs time to fuse around the post. Cases involving extraction or grafting add healing time, and that timeline is laid out before you start.
Cost depends on whether grafting is needed and how many teeth are being replaced, so you receive a written figure covering every stage before surgery is scheduled. Cherry, CareCredit, and in-house financing are all available for treatment of this size.
Coverage varies widely, and many PPO plans pay toward the crown or the extraction while treating the implant itself as a separate category. We accept all major providers, work with out-of-network plans, and verify exactly what applies before treatment begins.
A scan and a conversation will tell you whether an implant is realistic for your case. Book online for dental implants in Carmichael, CA, and we will walk you through every stage first.
