When it comes to restoring your smile and ensuring lifelong oral health, few options compare to dental implants. At Pristine Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, we understand the profound impact that a healthy, confident smile can have on your life. Led by Dr. Garry Shnayder, our practice is committed to providing the highest standard of care in dental implant surgery, helping you achieve not just a beautiful smile, but also the long-term benefits that come with it.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a permanent solution for replacing missing teeth. Unlike dentures or bridges, which rest on top of the gums, dental implants are surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as artificial roots. Over time, the implants fuse with the bone, providing a stable and durable foundation for replacement teeth.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
The decision to invest in dental implants is one that comes with numerous benefits, both immediate and long-term. Here’s why dental implants are considered the gold standard in tooth replacement:
- Natural Appearance and Feel: Dental implants are designed to look, feel, and function just like your natural teeth. The crowns are custom-made to match the color and shape of your existing teeth, ensuring a seamless blend.
- Durability and Longevity: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. Unlike other tooth replacement options that may require frequent adjustments or replacements, implants are a permanent solution.
- Preservation of Jawbone and Facial Structure: When a tooth is lost, the jawbone can begin to deteriorate due to the lack of stimulation. Dental implants help maintain bone density, preserving your natural facial structure and preventing the sunken appearance that can occur with missing teeth.
- Improved Oral Health: Dental implants do not require the reduction of adjacent teeth, as is necessary with a dental bridge. This means more of your natural teeth are left intact, promoting better long-term oral health.
- Enhanced Comfort and Functionality: Because dental implants are securely anchored in your jawbone, they provide a level of comfort and functionality that is superior to dentures or bridges. You can eat, speak, and smile with confidence, knowing your implants are as secure as natural teeth.

The Process of Getting Dental Implants at Pristine Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery
Understanding what to expect during the dental implant process can help alleviate any anxiety and ensure you’re well-prepared for your journey to a new smile.
- Initial Consultation: Your journey begins with a thorough consultation with Dr. Shnayder. During this visit, we will assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine if dental implants are the right solution for you. We will also use advanced imaging techniques to plan the precise placement of your implants.
- Surgical Placement: The next step involves the surgical placement of the dental implants. This procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, though sedation options are available for your comfort. The implants are carefully placed into the jawbone, where they will integrate over the following months.
- Healing and Integration: After the implants are placed, a period of healing is necessary for the implants to fully integrate with the jawbone. This process, known as osseointegration, is crucial for ensuring the long-term success of your implants.
- Placement of the Crown: Once healing is complete, custom-made crowns are attached to the implants. These crowns are designed to match your natural teeth in color, shape, and size, providing a natural-looking and functional replacement.
- Follow-Up Care: Regular follow-up visits are essential to monitor your progress and ensure the long-term success of your dental implants. Our team will provide you with detailed instructions on how to care for your implants and maintain optimal oral health.
