One Implant, Or A Whole New Way To Chew
An artificial root that replaces a single tooth, several teeth, or anchors a loose denture so it finally stays put. Dr. Edward Shamieh, DDS plans every case digitally, from the first scan to the finished tooth.
Dr. Edward Shamieh, Plans And Places Every Implant Himself
Fourteen years in practice, now focused on implant surgery, prosthetics, complex extractions and selected sedation cases.
Mission: Dental Implants focuses on the surgical and prosthetic treatment of missing and failing teeth. Extraction treatment is planned with the next step in mind, whether that means healing without replacement, a denture, an implant or another appropriate restorative option.
A New Root, Not Just A New Crown
A dental implant is a small titanium post placed into the jawbone, standing in for the root of a missing tooth. Once it has bonded with the bone, it can support a single crown, anchor a fixed bridge across several missing teeth, or stabilize a denture that has never quite stayed in place. What kind of implant makes sense depends on how many teeth are missing, how much bone is available, and what result matters most to you, fixed and permanent, or removable but finally secure. We talk through the honest options at the consult, including cost, before anything is scheduled.
From First Scan To A Tooth You Can Chew With
Digital scanning and digitally planned prosthetic treatment help coordinate the surgical and prosthetic portions of your care when appropriate.
Consult and Imaging
We examine the site and take 3D imaging to see exactly how much bone is available before recommending anything.
Implant placement
The titanium post is placed in a single appointment, sometimes combined with an extraction or bone graft.
Healing period
Over the following months, the bone bonds to the implant, the step that makes it a permanent, load-bearing root.
Restoration design & delivery
Once healed, your crown, bridge or denture attachment is designed in-house and fitted.

Planning Your Implant Treatment Around Your Needs
An implant isn’t one product, it’s a foundation that gets used differently depending on what needs replacing.
We Don’t Place An Implant Until The Scan Proves The Bone Is Actually Ready To Hold It.
Why every Dental Implant case starts with imaging, not surgery
What’s Different About Getting This Done Here
Your Patient Stays Your Patient
Mission: Dental Implants accepts referrals for implant surgery, bone grafting, complex extractions and other focused surgical and prosthetic treatment. We handle the surgical and implant-related portions of care while keeping the referring practice informed throughout treatment. After the planned treatment is completed, patients return to their general dentist for ongoing preventive and routine dental care.
Defined Scope
Focused surgical and prosthetic treatment for implant-related cases while routine dental care remains with the referring practice.
Case Updates
Relevant treatment notes, imaging and updates are shared with the referring dentist as appropriate throughout care.
Implant Coordination
Implant treatment is planned around the patient’s needs, including tooth replacement goals, bone considerations and restorative requirements.
Digital Planning
Digital imaging and scanning are used when appropriate to support implant planning and coordinate the surgical and prosthetic portions of treatment.
Even Excellent Treatment Has Limited Value If The Patient Cannot Realistically Obtain It.
