Implants Designed For You From Single-Tooth to Full-Smile Solutions

Dental implants do more than replace missing teeth. They restore the ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. With advanced training in implant placement and bone grafting, Dr. Yamen Akhras delivers predictable results, even for patients with complex needs.
Whether you need to replace a single tooth or are considering a full-arch solution, our practice offers advanced options designed to deliver comfort and long-term success.
What patients appreciate about our implant care
- Natural-looking results that blend seamlessly with your smile
- Options for immediate results, including “teeth in a day” solutions
- Specialized techniques to make implants possible even with bone loss
- Personalized care from consultation through follow-up
No matter your situation, the goal is the same: to create a stable, lasting restoration that looks and feels like your own teeth.

Options for
All Needs
Single Tooth Replacement
When only one tooth is missing, an implant crown can be placed to look and function like the natural tooth. This seamless option restores chewing ability and blends in beautifully with the rest of your smile.
Full-Arch Restorations
For patients missing many teeth, full-arch implant solutions can restore an entire set of teeth with a secure, stable foundation. Many treatments allow you to leave the office with a functional smile the very same day.
Complex Cases With Bone Loss
Even when bone loss has made other options impossible, Dr. Akhras uses advanced surgical techniques to safely and predictably place implants. These specialized solutions help patients who thought they were out of options regain lasting oral health.
Advanced Perio for Healthier Gums
Healthy gums are the foundation of a confident smile. As a board-certified periodontist, Dr. Akhras provides comprehensive care to treat gum disease, preserve oral health, and support the long-term success of dental implants.
Our office uses advanced laser therapies such as LANAP® and LAPIP® to precisely target infection while leaving healthy tissue intact. These minimally invasive procedures often mean less discomfort, quicker healing, and a stronger foundation for lasting oral health. Patients who experience anxiety about treatment can also benefit from IV sedation, delivered by a board-certified anesthesiologist, to ensure a comfortable experience.
With specialty-level training and hands-on expertise, Dr. Akhras helps patients overcome gum disease and maintain healthier smiles for years to come.
