Strength Begins Beneath the Surface
If you are missing teeth, you do not just need something that fills a space. You need a replacement that integrates properly and holds up over time. Dental implants can restore your ability to chew, speak, and function comfortably. But long-term success depends on how the implant is placed and how it heals. Our focus is on creating the right conditions from the very beginning.
How Implants Transform Your Smile
A dental implant is a small titanium post that replaces the root of a missing tooth. It is placed into the jawbone during a precise surgical procedure. Over time, the implant fuses with your bone through a process called osseointegration. Once integration is complete, a custom restoration such as a crown, bridge, or denture is secured to the implant.
When placed carefully and allowed to heal properly, implants are one of the most reliable solutions available.
How Your Implant Is Placed
Every case is carefully evaluated and sequenced to protect your outcome.
Comprehensive Evaluation: We assess bone levels, gum health, and any signs of infection. If needed, concerns are treated before implant placement.
Precise Placement: The implant is placed into healthy bone using controlled surgical techniques.
PRF Application: A membrane created from your blood is positioned to support protected healing.
Healing Phase: Your body integrates the implant with your jawbone. This phase is never rushed.
Final Restoration: Once integration is confirmed, your custom restoration is securely attached.
Each step is intentional. Your long-term outcome always comes first.
Implants vs Other Restorations
You may be a candidate if you:
If infection or gum disease is present, it must be treated first. Implant dentistry depends on a healthy foundation. Our role is to carefully assess your condition and guide you through the safest path forward.
Dr. Marxen’s Approach
Dental implants should be placed in a sterile, protected environment. The mouth naturally contains bacteria. When implants are restored immediately or placed into compromised sites, they are exposed to microorganisms and mechanical stress during the most critical stage of healing.
Dr. Marxen’s protocol is designed to protect the implant during this early phase. Rather than prioritizing speed, his focus is on controlled integration and stable healing. At the time of placement, he uses PRF, platelet-rich fibrin, created from your own blood. This membrane is positioned over the implant immediately after insertion to support a protected healing environment.
PRF is used to support sterile healing, promote natural tissue regeneration, encourage stronger bone integration, and reduce the early inflammatory response during the critical first phase of recovery. This approach prioritizes long-term stability over short-term convenience. When the first stage of healing is protected, implant predictability improves.
Choose Precision Over Speed
Replacing a tooth is not just about filling a gap. It is about rebuilding strength in a way that will support you for years to come. Our team is looking forward to guiding you forward with a clear plan.
