Suway, DDS, MAGD, D.ABDSM is recognized as a Diplomate of the International Congress of Oral Implantology and offers comprehensive implant services ranging from placement to restoration.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants provide a number of advantages over restorative dentistry alternatives. Some key benefits include:

Permanent replacement for missing and damaged teeth
Improved ability to bite and chew
Improved stability and durability for tooth restorations
Ability to secure one or multiple tooth restorations
No movement or slippage along your gum line
Customizable to look and feel like your natural teeth
No extra maintenance apart from regular brushing and flossing

Candidacy for Dental Implants

Implant Model Not every patient with missing or damaged teeth qualifies as a good candidate for dental implants. Ideal candidates for this advanced dental procedure should have:

Adequate jawbone density
Healthy gum tissues
No pre-existing medical conditions
Good overall health

Patients who are pregnant, still developing jawbone density, have certain medical conditions, or are currently taking medications that suppress the immune system are typically not good candidates for dental implants. However, if you have lost bone in your jaw at some point in time, you may still be eligible for dental implants following a bone-grafting procedure to rebuild your jawbone.

During your initial appointment, Dr. Suway will determine whether or not you qualify for implant dentistry. Should you not qualify, several other options are available at our practice, including bridges, crowns, and dentures.

The Dental Implant Procedure

He will then determine if you are a good candidate for this technique by assessing your medical history and conducting a full oral examination. Utilizing our state-of-the-art panoramic and digital x-ray technologies, Dr. Suway will be able to photograph your mouth to more precisely examine the depth of bone available in your jaw.

Once he concludes that you are a good candidate for implant dentistry, Dr. Suway will take an impression of your teeth and construct a working model to help you visualize how your smile will look following your procedure. Together, you will review this model and make any recommendations necessary until it appears the way you would like. The final decision is up to you!

Once your mouth is ready, he will surgically implant the titanium posts into your jawbone, enabling them to fuse with you bone as your mouth heals. During this healing period, you will be able to wear completely functional temporary teeth that match the shape and size of your surrounding teeth while your permanent restorations are milled in a dental lab. In particular cases, Dr. Suway may even be able to place your permanent restorations in the same visit as the posts.

Once your mouth has fully healed, Dr. Suway will attach each permanent restoration to the titanium rods. After each has been secured, your customized dental crowns will permanently look, feel, and function like your natural teeth!

Our Client Reviews

5.0 / 5.0

Ryan L

Dr. Suway and his team are absolutely incredible. I always feel comfortable and informed with every step of the process that I've had in general routine cleanings and also fixing cracked teeth, etc. Just recently went during these COVID times and I've never seen a place so clean, well maintained, and at the forefront of leveraging new technology and tools to keep me safe. Special masks, machines to pull and filter air, etc. It was truly amazing! Super recommend this practice to anyone and everyone, but especially those that are concerned with seeing a dentist during COVID.

Dr. Suway has been a part of my family for years dating back to when my grandparents started going to him many moons ago. Now as the third generation, I love that he is my dentist and I enjoy going to my appointments! Can you believe I actually look forward to them?! He's pleasant, he's knowledgeable and he sings! I have a great experience every time I visit from the exceptional customer service to the comfort that I feel when I'm in the chair. I recommend Dr. Suway and his team to anyone searching for a great dentist! You will be glad that you did!

After more than a decade of horrible dental service experience, Dr. Suway is a breath of fresh air! He takes his time to ensure thorough work in a comfortable setting. His team is above-par in customer service and truly cares about their clients. By far the best dentist I've ever been to! And the initial consultation and exam is complimentary for new patients! I'm most definitely a lifelong client from this point forward

Don’t put your needed dental work off anymore! If you are afraid of the novacaine injection,as I was, do not fear...Dr Suway does it perfectly! I would never go to the dentist before now, but my fears have been put to rest....they also give nitrous which makes the whole event tolerable. BEST experience ever....Thanks Dr Suway! I wish I had come to you years before!

I called the office last week and they told me they were booked till next year. However, they said they would call me if they could accommodate earlier. I was considering elsewhere when I got a call from Tameisha to come in the same day. What a incredible experience. They got me in a few minutes to my appointment. My dentist was very polite, funny and was done in no time. I wish I stayed a little longer. Dr Suway came out for a final walk around to make sure that I was ok. I live in Florida and I would fly in for next appointment. I left with a smile. I would definitely recommend this place to all. Give it a try.

I have been a patient of Dr.Suway for over 20 years and he is a exceptional dentist. He takes great care and professionalism in all his dental work and has never suggested a procedure that was not necessary for dental health. He cares about the comfort of his patients and his work is top notch. The office staff is also wonderful and everyone makes you feel at home. I highly recommend Dr. Suway"s office for excellent dental care.
