Want to know if you are a candidate?
Dental Implants are appropriate for almost anyone who is missing teeth or at risk of losing teeth because of cavities, gum disease, accidents, etc.
In such patients, normal eating and speaking habits are affected and in many cases individuals are completely unable to wear dentures. This loss of function is the primary reason dental implants are recommended. Along with improving an individual’s ability to chew and enjoy food, dental implants can make the patient feel more secure as speech and appearance are often improved as well.
During the first appointment, specialized diagnostic studies are performed to determine the ideal treatment for each person.
After careful evaluation of your health history, Dr. Alvarez will alert you to any conditions that may affect your treatment. Remember, age is not a factor.

Cost of treatment
The cost of implant treatment depends upon the number and type of implants placed and the type of replacement teeth needed. For example, replacement of a single tooth using implants costs about as much as a dental bridge. The bridges necessitate “cutting down” adjacent teeth for crowns. Implant treatment does not. More complex treatment, such as bone grafting, will add to the cost.
The improvement in your self-confidence, comfort, eating habits and appearance will make dental implant treatment one of the best investments you’ve ever made!
The number of implants used for a given restoration is most important in terms of the success of the restoration, not the overall fee. It is certainly much more cost-effective when the same dentist both places and restores a patient’s dentition. A survey of 350 patients after completion of their implant treatment revealed that not only was it worth the investment, but that they would happily do it again.
Great Dr/Dentist Great Staff Great Experience
I have been seeing Dr. Alvarez for over 5 years. After 2 dental implants and other assorted work I have had no problems and to the contrary have had a great experience, who can say that about their dentist? My wife is now having an implant done and a close friend who owns a dental lab was so impressed with Dr. Alvarez’s work for me that he and his wife are now patients. I have recommended Dr. Alvarez to many friends and work associates and would recommend him to you too.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Number of implants needed?
Ideally one implant per missing tooth, but it depends on the type of bridge.
What if I am missing several teeth?

According to the quality and volume of your bone you can have different types of teeth:
- FIXED – Removed periodically by your dentist.

Implants can be used as retention for your existing dentures, eliminating mobility and improving your chewing ability.

Gum disease will need to be controlled, before placing the implants, improving your aesthetics and function.
