At TheGentleDentist.com located in Shelby township Michigan we place and restore dental implants for those people who are missing teeth and want the best option to replace them.  It is common for Dr. Antolak to place implants on patients in their 80′s and 90′s.  Dental implants are effective in replacing a single tooth or many teeth depending on the situation. This can allow you to eat the solid food you want and not necessarly the soft food you have to eat. 
We can place an implant and restore it with a replacement tooth in as little as a single visit.

At TheGentleDentist.com we make sure our patients are comfortable with their treatment.  3 Dental implants were placed to replace missing teeth on this patient of Dr.Antolak located in Shelby Twp. MI.  Bone grafts were placed to give adequate bone to place an implant in the location.  When teeth are removed the bone that holds the tooth in place rapidly shrinks up to the point that half of the thickness is lost within 6 months after a tooth is pulled.   It is critical to have an extraction done with the most precision especially if there is the possibility of having a dental implant placed.  This patient had 3 teeth removed without that insight about 5 years before visiting Dr. Antolak.  This left him in a difficult situation so a bone graft was performed to gain thickness of the implant site.  It took about 6 months for this area to heal and then 3 dental implants were placed which now hold 3 separate crowns which can be treated exactly like his own natural teeth.   He can chew what ever he likes and now he doesn’t have to worry about loosing more bone.  Most importantly he can eat comfortably and SMILE!!!  If you would like more information about dental implants or to see if you are a candidate for them please fill out our contact form so we can schedule a free consulation.  Our phone number is (586)247-3500 and we are located in Shelby Twp.

Dental implants are needed for Broken teeth that can’t be repaired, missing teeth, loose dentures, and even if you are tired of that irritating hole in the front of your mouth. Dr Robert Antolak, The Gentle Dentist located in Shelby Township, Macomb County Michigan shows in this video how a tooth that had a root canal needed to be removed and have a dental implant placed.  This procedure took about 1 hour and was done with just numbing. Failed root canals are a  common reason why dental implants are needed. They prevent the need to grind down adjacent teeth because they replace only the missing tooth.  This video goes from start to finish and does contain some bleeding.  If you are looking to have an dental implant placed then you must consider Dr. Antolak and his professional staff.
