Dental Implants
Permanent tooth replacement that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth. Surgical placement by Dr. Khanh Le and final restoration by Dr. Rustam DeVitre, planned together under one roof.
Dental implants replace missing teeth with a permanent solution that looks, feels, and functions like your natural teeth. Because both the surgical and restorative sides of the process happen under one roof, your treatment stays coordinated from start to finish.
How the process is coordinated
- Surgical placementDr. Khanh Le, our periodontist, places the implant, which acts as a replacement for the natural tooth root.
- Final restorationDr. Rustam DeVitre, our prosthodontist, designs and places the crown, bridge, or denture that attaches to the implant.
- One shared planBecause both specialists practice in the same office, they plan your case together rather than handing it between separate practices.
"Planning implant surgery and the final restoration together, in one office, means fewer handoffs and a plan built around your whole case."
