I started seeing Dr. Sadoon a few years ago when another dentist left. He is a great doctor. He takes the necessary time I feel to make sure everything is good. He suggested soon after I started seeing him that I'd need an implant or bridge. Each stage was explained well. The hygienist is also great. I'm very happy with all of the care that they give me. Thanks to you all!

Due to a move to Bridgewater, I have switched dentists and chosen Summit Smiles. My first visit showed the staff to be helpful, competent, cheerful, and attentive to individual situations. Dr. Nauss was very friendly and thorough in his evaluation. Good job!

My first time with a dentist since 2018 and it was flawless. Dr. Sadoon and all of the associates did an amazing job. Nervous as I was, they were kind, professional, and comforting before, during, and after the procedure. Thank you, Parkside Family Dentistry!

Very good experience!! Will highly recommend this office!! I hadn’t been to the dentist in over 20 years because of previous experiences but Summit Smiles has pulled that guard down for me and I will be going back. Catherine (Cat) is the best thank you for getting me in and taking good care of me.

I am very glad I switched dentists! I enjoy all the staff. Everyone is very friendly. It’s easy to get appointments at varying times. I’m using Invisalign and have been treated so nicely. Thank you for the wonderful dental experience.

Shout out to the Summit Smiles crew. My son and I had our first visit in June. Could not have gone better. All paperwork was done electronically before our visit. We walked in at our scheduled time and were immediately taken back. The staff was courteous and professional. The doc was pleasant and patient. Seems we have found a dental home. Highly recommend.

I had a dental emergency and Summit Smiles was able to fit me in the same day I called. The doctor was honest with me that he didn’t feel comfortable doing the procedure, so the office called around and got me in with a specialist on the same day! Everyone there was super nice and helpful.

Affordable dental implants

Do you live with tooth loss? Dental implants are artificial roots and teeth that are surgically placed into the upper or lower jaw bone by your dentist or oral surgeon. The teeth attached to implants are very natural looking and often enhance or restore a patient’s smile. Are you ready to restore your smile? Book your implant consultation at Summit Smiles to see how we can give you your smile back!

Treatment planning

The process of getting implants requires a number of visits over several months. First, you will meet your dentist for your implant consultation. X-rays and impressions (molds) are taken of the jaw and teeth to determine bone, gum tissue, and spacing available for an implant. Our team will design a treatment plan to ensure the best possible results for your unique condition. Next, we will schedule your implant surgery.

Implant surgery

While the area is numb, the implant will be surgically placed into the bone and allowed to heal and integrate itself for up to six months. Depending on the type of implant, a second surgery may be required in order to place the “post” that will hold the artificial tooth in place. With other implants, the post and anchor are already attached and placed at the same time.

Implant restoration

After several weeks of healing, the artificial teeth are made and fitted to the post portion of the anchor. Because several fittings may be required, this step may take one to two months to complete. After a healing period, the artificial teeth are securely attached to the implant, providing excellent stability and comfort so you can enjoy your restored smile!

Frequently asked questions

What are the pros of getting an implant?



Implants provide you with many benefits, such as replacing one or more missing teeth with affecting adjacent teeth, restoring natural bite strength and function, and filling gaps in your smile to restore your confidence.

What if I don’t get an implant?



If you’ve lost one or more teeth, it’s important to replace them as soon as you can. Missing teeth can impact your oral health as well as your overall physical well-being, causing problems biting, chewing, and eating properly. You also have a greater chance of developing gum disease, TMJ, crooked teeth, and other issues if you go without replacing your missing teeth.

Do implants hurt?



You will require a minor surgical procedure to place the implants in your jaw. Following your procedure, it’s normal to experience some pain and swelling while your mouth heals. You will receive care instructions when your treatment is completed. Good oral hygiene and eating habits, alongside regular dental visits, will aid in the life of your new implant.

How long do implants last?



Dental implants are strong, durable, and will last many years. You can extend the lifespan of your implant up to 20 years or more through good at-home care and regular dental checkups. On occasion, they will have to be re-tightened or replaced due to normal wear and tear over time.

What do dental implants do?



Dental implants are a great way to replace missing teeth and provide a fixed solution for dental crowns, bridges, and full or partial implant dentures. Implants provide excellent support and stability for these dental appliances and can restore your smile to the fullest.
