See How Your Life Can Improve With Teeth Implants
If you have one or more missing teeth, implants can restore them and make it easy to bite and chew again. In addition, if you have teeth that are too diseased or damaged to repair, we can gently remove them to make room for implants that can be topped with crowns or other dental implant options:
- Implant-Supported Bridge – An implant-supported bridge gives you a less invasive option than a standard bridge. When a dental bridge is anchored by implants, there is no need for Dr. Koo to drill into any of your healthy teeth.
- Dental Implant Dentures – Unlike conventional dentures, with implant dentures your teeth won’t shift out of place or become dislodged. You’ll never need adhesives. Perhaps most important of all, you won’t experience the deterioration of bone in your jaw that normally follows tooth loss.
If you’re missing all or most of your teeth, Dr. Koo will help you determine which restorations will give you the best results for a full-mouth reconstruction. No matter which treatment you receive, Dr. Koo will numb your mouth with local anesthesia. You can also receive inhaled sedation if you’d like, to remain completely relaxed during your procedure.
Get Your Smile Back With Our Top Technology & Skills
Dr. Koo has used implants to help many of our patients get full function back after losing teeth. He uses Neobiotech implants, which are designed to fuse to your bone more quickly than other implants. To ensure you get optimal results from your replacement teeth, he will:
- Recommend a bone graft to strengthen your jaw, if needed, likely immediately after a tooth extraction for best results
- Examine your jaw with 3-D CT scanning to assess your readiness for implants
- Place implants in your jaw during a safe and precise computer-guided procedure
- Take exact measurements and match the shade of your restorations to your other teeth so our lab partner can create beautiful teeth that will blend in perfectly with your smile
- Securely attach your restorations to implants after a brief healing period
- Make any final adjustments needed to ensure your new teeth fit and function perfectly

We’ll Help Your Implants Last for Life
Implants are intended to be a long-term solution to missing teeth, if not a lifetime solution. Dr. Koo, a member of the Academy of General Dentistry, assesses every patient in detail to make sure they are a good candidate for teeth implants. This helps ensure overall implant success, which is generally over 95 percent for those in good health.
He will consider factors such as your oral and overall health, whether you use tobacco, and the density of your jawbone. If you get the green light to move forward with treatment, Dr. Koo will precisely place your implants, schedule follow-up visits to make sure you are healing well, and give you all the information you need to ensure their longevity. He’ll also check your implants during your regular dental exams to be sure they are performing as they should.
