Dental Implants
Tooth loss affects millions of Americans. While traditional bridges and dentures are effective, dental implants are often a superior option.
The titanium implants anchor restorations to the jaw, acting as artificial tooth roots. They provide excellent stability and functionality.
Dr. Craig Goldin places and restores implants for patients throughout Troy, Birmingham, and Bloomfield, MI, to create stunning smiles.
The Benefits of Dental Implants: Why You Should Consider Implant Dentistry
Reduced Bone Loss
When natural teeth are missing, your jaw loses bone tissue. Dental implants are the only restorative dentistry option that can prevent this side-effect of tooth loss.Enhanced Self-Confidence
Patients with implant appliances don't just have better dental health. When you can chew and speak without worrying that your restorations will shift for slip, you can also experience greater confidence.The Dental Implant Difference Results That Look Like Your Natural Teeth
Types of Dental Implants: Your Implant Dentistry Options

Traditional Dental Implants
Traditional dental implants are titanium posts surgically embedded into the jawbone. After a period of osseointegration (fusion of the implant to the bone tissue), the implants give your restorations stability that is virtually equal to that of natural teeth.

Mini Dental Implants
Mini dental implants have a smaller diameter than traditional implants. Mini dental implants can benefit patients who have suffered some bone atrophy, but want to avoid undergoing a bone graft in order to receive traditional implants.
ESTEEM DENTAL IMPLANTS
ESTEEM All-on-X dental implants are used to support a Prettau® Zirconia Bridge, a premium device that replaces an entire dental arch on the upper or lower jaw. As few as five of these special implants can support this restoration, which provides superior aesthetics, durability, and functionality.

“I Walked Out After Two Visits a New Man.” Giving Troy, MI, a Reason to Smile
This is by far the absolute best dentistry experience that I have ever had! I believe I was seen by Dr. Wahlen. I went in to get two teeth extracted in which everyone knows getting root canals can be one of the most scariest and stressful things. The service was quick. The teeth were out and I was pain-free before I could even panic lol the staff was very kind & caring I would highly recommend this place.

The staff is incredibly detailed, professional, and caring. Shall we talk about Dr. Goldin? He’s an artist, a magician, and in my case a miracle worker. I walked into his office petrified of the dentist, horribly self conscious of my smile, and mentally a mess from previous dental work done elsewhere. I walked out after two sleepy visits a new man. I’ve smiled more the last year than I have in the past ten and I owe that all to Dr Goldin and his dream team! Thank you!
Implant Restoration Options
Dental Crowns
If you're missing a single tooth, an implant-supported crown can replace the tooth from top to bottom. This solution can be more conservative and beneficial to your oral health than traditional restorations.
Dental Bridges
Implant-supported bridges can benefit those missing two or more consecutive teeth. Traditional bridges require healthy adjacent teeth to be crowned in order to provide support. Implant bridges are self-sufficient.
Dentures
Traditional dentures can easily shift out of place and require frequent adjustment for changes in the jaw over time. Implant-supported dentures are far more stable and require far fewer adjustments.
Full Arch Restorations Comparing Options
/
Traditional dentures and dentures supported by implants can give you a fully functioning smile. Implant-supported dentures have many benefits, but not all patients are eligible for implants. During your consultation at our Troy, MI, dental office, we can determine which full arch restoration is more ideal for your needs.

Have Dental Anxiety? Our sedation options can help you get the care you need
Nitrous Oxide
Also known as laughing gas, this form of sedation is inhaled. It works quickly to induce a state of conscious relaxation, and it wears off quickly once it is stopped. Patients are able to drive themselves home after treatment.
Oral Conscious
Your dentist will prescribe you a medication to take before your treatment to help you remain calm and relaxed. You will need someone to drive you to and from your appointment, as it takes several hours for the medication to wear off.
IV Sedation
Dr. Goldin is certified in IV sedation. You will be given medication via an IV. While you will remain conscious, you will be in a deeply relaxed state. As with oral conscious sedation, you will need a responsible adult to drive you home after treatment.

Dental Implant Aftercare Making the Results and Benefits Last

Good Oral Hygiene
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush, proximal brush, and thick floss designed for implants and bridgework to keep your remaining teeth and dental implants clean. You can also wipe your gums with a clean hand towel.
Cleaning the Implant Restorations
In addition to brushing and flossing, follow all care instructions to keep your bridge or denture clean. This includes gently scrubbing away food particles and soaking the implant restoration overnight while you are asleep.
Protection and Prevention
Wear mouth or face protection when playing sports or other applicable activities to prevent injuries. Visit our dental office every six months for regular checkups and cleanings.
