State of the Art Tooth Replacement

Why Replace Missing Teeth?

Our mouth is a system of interconnected parts that all work together to keep you happy and healthy. When one of those parts is missing, the entire system is disrupted. A missing tooth leaves a gap in your mouth, allowing neighboring teeth to spread out, shifting the appearance of your smile and deteriorating your jawbone. Your bite, speech, hygiene, and eating choices are also all impacted by the absence of one or more of your teeth.

Replacing missing teeth is essential for preserving and safeguarding your bone structure, oral health, appearance, and overall well-being.

What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is a titanium screw that is surgically placed into the jawbone and attached to an abutment (connector) to support a dental prosthesis, such as a crown, bridge, or denture. Implants act as a permanent base for either fixed or removable replacement teeth, helping to keep the jaw healthy and strong.

The Power of Dental Implants: Revolutionary Tooth Replacement

Dental implants are considered the ultimate standard of tooth replacement options because they are a long-lasting solution that highly resembles the look and function of natural teeth.

Natural Appearance

Dental implants are custom-made, shaped, and color-matched to mimic your natural teeth. You can feel fully confident that your implant will blend in flawlessly with the rest of your smile – no one will ever know you have an implant.

Stable

One of the biggest advantages of dental implants is their ability to integrate with the surrounding bone. This process, called osseointegration, is where the implant actually fuses with the jawbone, providing a solid foundation for the dental prosthesis.

Preserved Jaw Bone

Missing teeth can cause severe oral health problems, including gum disease, jawbone deterioration, and a compromised bite. Dental implants help preserve the strength and integrity of your jawbone by stimulating bone growth and providing support to the adjacent teeth.

Functional

Dental Implants provide unmatched functionality for chewing, biting, and speaking.

A New Era of Oral Health: Advanced Implant Techniques at Advanced Perio

By choosing Advanced Periodontics, you can feel at ease knowing your dental implant surgery is guided by advanced technology and our specialists use cutting-edge techniques. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy returning to your routine without prolonged recovery time.

Single-Stage Implants
Navident Technology

Using the most recent advances in dental implant technology, our doctors can place single-stage implants. These implants do not require a second procedure to uncover but need some healing time before artificial teeth are placed. There are even situations where the implant can be placed at the same time as the tooth extraction – further minimizing your number of surgical procedures.

Our office now offers dynamically guided surgery using the Navident 4. Navident Technology provides unmatched precision and accuracy in oral surgery, allowing our doctors to visualize, plan, and execute oral surgeries, which leads to less time in the chair and faster recovery.

What to Expect From Your Dental Implant Procedure

At our leading Seattle periodontal clinic, we don’t just focus on exceptional clinical outcomes but also provide compassionate care that puts your well-being first. Our team provides personalized care and support to make you feel valued, comfortable, and heard throughout the entire implant process.

Examination

In preparing for your dental implant, one of our specialists will review your medical history and conduct a thorough dental examination that usually entails 3D imaging. After obtaining all the necessary information, they will craft a personalized treatment plan tailored to your budget and dental needs.

Surgical Extraction

Surgical extraction is often necessary to remove an infected or broken tooth. Depending on your unique situation, we can place the implant at the same time of extraction. Otherwise, your periodontist must perform bone grafting or sinus augmentation before implant placement.

Bone Grafting

In the event that your tooth was removed many years ago and your jawbone is extremely thin, you may have an inadequate amount of bone for implant placement. In this case, a bone graft can be placed to thicken the bone. Depending on the amount of graft needed, between 4-6 months may be required before an implant can be placed. Bone grafting is also completed at the time of tooth extraction to provide enough bone for future implant placement.

Sinus Augmentation

Dental implants need 360 degrees of bone. When an upper back tooth is lost, the sinus moves into the jawbone, preventing implant placement. Sinus augmentation allows for implants to be placed in these areas. Bone is added beneath the sinus to ensure that implants have the bone support they need.

Dental Implant Surgery

In many cases, your doctor will insert your implant using our Navident 4 technology, which allows for pre-planning of the implant position, and robotic monitoring of the surgery to ensure precise implant positioning.

Recovery

Implants typically take 2-3 months for the bone to grow and adhere. During this time, our team will continue to follow up with you to monitor your healing progression to determine when your implant healed and is ready for the final restoration.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Implants

What can I use as teeth while my implants heal?

Options are available for those who need a replacement for teeth while implants heal. Temporary, removable teeth or a bridge can be made for those requiring a tooth replacement, while those missing all their teeth can have their present denture modified or receive a new temporary denture. Depending on the situation, some implants can be placed and loaded immediately, allowing for a temporary or permanent replacement tooth to be placed on the day of or shortly after the implant placement.

What are the potential complications of dental implants?

Although dental implantation is a minimally invasive, safe procedure, some potential complications could arise. After the procedure, patients may experience some pain and discomfort, but this is often manageable with prescribed pain medication and antibiotics to prevent infection. Other possible side effects include swelling in the face and gums, discomfort and pain at the surgical site, and minor bleeding. Though rare, some individuals may develop postoperative infections that require additional antibiotic treatment. During the placement process, adjacent teeth may be affected, and there is a slight chance that the nerve in the lower jaw providing sensation to the lower lip and chin may be irritated, leading to tingling, numbness, or temporary loss of sensation.

How long do dental implants last?

Implants typically will last decades, if not your entire life, with long-term studies indicating a 95% success rate for patients missing one or several teeth. Even if one of your implants doesn’t heal properly or loosens after a period, you can have the implant removed and, once it heals, replaced with a new one.

Do you offer a warranty for dental implants?

We stand behind our work. If you have an implant fail in the first five years after placement, we will replace it at no additional charge. That way, you don’t have to worry about financial ramifications if something goes wrong.

Will one doctor do the entire implant surgery?

Usually, a periodontist places the implant(s) and performs other necessary surgical procedures. At the same time, your general dentist provides temporary and permanent replacement teeth. Both doctors work in synergy when making your dental treatment plan and assisting you throughout implantation.

How do I clean my new teeth?

As with natural teeth, you must clean implant-supported restorations regularly with toothbrushes, floss, and other recommended aids. In the days following the implant surgery, be gentle around the implant site. Continue to visit your regular dentist yearly for hygiene and maintenance and monitor your implant for any damage, infection, chips, or loosening.

How much do dental implants cost?

Before treatment begins, every effort will be made to give you an accurate estimate of all the expenses involved in placing the implants and making your replacement teeth. There is often an initial charge for the diagnostic work-up, including study models, x-rays, and fabricating a surgical template to ensure the best possible result. You will be charged for the physical parts of the implant, such as the abutment or support post(s), plus the crown or dentures. If the cost of your treatment options needs to be clarified, please contact us. We will be happy to answer any questions.

Rosa and Dr. Kaminsky did a fantastic job for me. I had a gum graph on my four upper teeth and it looks absolutely fantastic!

I had the pleasure of being treated by Dr. Yassin after struggling with implant issues that other doctors couldn't resolve. From the moment I walked in, I felt completely at ease. Dr. Yassin exuded confidence and professionalism, which immediately put me in a relaxed state.
Throughout the procedure, he explained everything in detail, making sure I understood what was going on and that I felt comfortable. He took the time to listen to my concerns and thoroughly assessed my situation, offering clear explanations and options. The procedure was smooth, and the results exceeded my expectations. What truly stands out is Dr. Yassin's ability to handle complex cases with precision — something I couldn't find with previous practitioners.
I am so grateful for his care and professionalism. If you're looking for a doctor who can tackle challenging implant cases with confidence and skill, Dr. Yassin is the one to trust.

Dan, Megan, Kimberly and Dr. Weinstein have all been super lovely throughout my time visiting both the Seattle and Bellevue offices. Would recommend to anyone with dental anxiety as they’ve been really comforting and kind!

Dr. Weinstein performed gum grafting surgery with great results! I was given plenty of options of medication choices and whether to do all teeth at once or in stages. Surgery went great and everything looks good for long term success. Advanced Perio was the place recommended by my general dentist and I’m happy I went with their recommendation.

This morning, I had my postop appointment, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing care I received from the team. The young assistant, Tyra, was truly fantastic, making me feel at ease throughout the process. From the friendly front desk staff to Dr. Richins and his assistant, Dan, everyone displayed such kindness and professionalism. I honestly wish I could give them ten stars because words can’t fully capture how appreciative I am of this office and the support they provided. Thank you all for making a difference in my healing journey!

While getting a gum graft was not initially in my 2024 plans, Advanced Perio made the process as smooth as can be. After an unsettling consultation with a different periodontist, Advanced Perio took the time to answer my questions and help me gain confidence in the procedure and recovery process.

I was worried about insurance coverage, but I'm grateful they prioritize delivering the best care over adhering to insurance stipulations. Ultimately, my procedure ended up costing roughly the same as a different in-network periodontist quoted me, and I am confident that I received a much higher level of care.

I am now officially 8 weeks post-graft and I am so happy I chose to tackle this now and through Advanced Perio. Everything went as expected and I could not recommend Dr. Weinstein and his assistants (Megan, Kira, Silas) enough.

As a cherry on top, they went above and beyond in referring me to a dentist in my neighborhood that was previously hard to get on the schedule for. While I hope I never need another gum graft, if you find yourself in that position, do not hesitate and reach out to Advanced Perio!

I had gum grafts on my two front teeth with Dr. Weinstein, and aesthetically, they didn't turn out well. I was also in pain for 8 months post-op, and they thought I might have permanent nerve damage. Thankfully, the pain has resolved, but I'm left with two differently shaped and unnaturally thick gums, which has shattered my self-confidence. These are my two front teeth and look odd now that the gums are different shapes.

I tried speaking with Dr. Weinstein about it multiple times, and he claimed that my gums were different shapes to begin with and that this was an excellent outcome. I have photos, though, where my gums were evenly shaped before the recession. I also have visible scarring in the gum tissue, further making me feel self-conscious.

This office was the most expensive consult I had, and I chose them because of Dr. Weinstein's reputation and experience. It's so disappointing that my teeth - which I used to love - are now making me feel so self-conscious.

I will say the staff here is absolutely wonderful and responsive, and I wish I could give them five stars. However, after my outcome, I cannot recommend this place.

I recommend Advanced Dental. I am a dental hygienist and I first heard about the office from a continuing education course taught by Dr Weistein.

I was treated by Dr Kaminsky. She explained everything to me thoroughly and always made sure to answer any of my questions. I am very happy with the tissue graft she did.

The assistants I had were Silas, Kira, and Jessica (I believe). They were all amazing and highly skilled. Silas put me at ease and has a great bed-side manner. Kira made sure to give me a run down of what we were doing that day and made sure to clarify everything.

I received reminder texts for the appointments that were helpful but it would have been also helpful to get the address again and a reminder on what parking garages to use in the text as well.

I got great care here and recommend this office.

Had gum grafts done for 5 teeth and it went super well! I was really nervous beforehand but Dr Weinstein and Megan (assistant) made me feel very comfortable and did a great job on the procedure. The grafts healed within 2 weeks and look great. Would definitely recommend for anyone with dental anxiety or worried about gum recession.

My experience at advanced perio was phenomenal! From the hygiene coordinator Gina, to the welcoming front desk Anj, Katrina, and Judah, to the amazing and thorough clinic staff Dr. kaminsky and hygienist Katie. If I could give 10 stars I would! Hands down the best dental office.

Unfortunately this visit triggered some past medical trauma for me. They are not aware of that because I went into freeze mode and kept it hidden. I know it was not intentional, and they did their best to be friendly and professional. I had to have photos of my entire mouth taken. The procedure was awkward and uncomfortable, which the person doing it acknowledged. At one point a mirror that was too large for my mouth was inserted into my mouth. I was obviously uncomfortable. The person doing it said, "I'm sorry, that mirror is too big!!" and I said, "Oh, that's terrible, you'd think they'd make smaller mirrors, for different sized mouths, right?!" (I was trying to be nice and let them off the hook). They replied, "oh, yeah, they do...I just didn't have that one ready to use right now." In my head, I'm thinking, so you do have smaller mirrors but you chose to jam that one into my mouth instead? To add insult to injury, they then said, "Your mouth is so small!" and that was the triggering part (blaming ME for my discomfort). How about saying something like, "let me try and find a piece of equipment that will work better for you, OK?" instead.

I was recently seen by Dr. Nguyen at Advanced Perio for removal of a failing dental implant. He and the AP staff were absolutely first-rate. Friendly, caring and highly skilled professionals, and amazingly adept at their work. What could have been a traumatic, painful ordeal turned out to be quite a smooth procedure. And recovery has been a breeze. Highly recommended!

My husband was referred here by his dentist. He went here just for an exam. The office told him that the exam would be covered 100% -80%. Turns out the exam was not covered. They were not upfront about the fact that they are out of network with all insurance companies. The insurance only covered $40 for a simple exam. This place is not upfront and honest about their policies and when I asked they told me it’s all written on their website. I don’t care if it’s written on the website or now they need to let people know ahead of time they are out of network. I’m very disappointed in this place and my husband won’t be going back here.

I had a gum graft at Advanced Perio this summer. Dr. Kaminsky and Kira made me feel so comfortable during the procedure and at my follow ups. You can't even see the graft now that it has healed. Super knowledgeable team who doesn't try to upsell you - I had a great experience.

Chrissy Marie Webb

00:44 11 Dec 24

They really need to disclose their predatory billing practices PRIOR to scheduling or, at the very least, prior the conducting the evaluation that they charge for. This is such a dishonest way to operate. Now, I'll be getting a bill for a completely pointless evaluation and am stuck trying to find a new perio who will certainly require their own evaluation before starting treatment so my treatment has just been set back months. I'll be letting my dentist know to stop referring patients here!

I recently had a gum graft procedure done, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! Dr. Weinstein and the entire team was professional, attentive, and genuinely cared about my comfort throughout the process. From the initial consultation to the follow-up appointments, they provided clear guidance and support every step of the way. Huge thanks to the whole team ( Reem, Jessica & Silas) for their exceptional work and dedication to patient care. Highly recommended for anyone needing periodontal treatment.

Last Spring had a gum graft procedure at Advanced Periodontics, and I was genuinely impressed by the entire experience. Dr. Kaminsky and her well-honed team are phenomenal.

What truly set this experience apart was Dr. Kaminsky's commitment to find the best solution for my particular case. Instead of immediately opting for the typical surgical approach, she proactively investigated whether an alternative strategy would be possible that could improve my outcome and recovery experience. This led her to find that it would be possible to take the tissue for the graft from an area near where I previously had wisdom teeth, rather than the roof of my mouth, as usually required. The result was a remarkably smooth and fast recovery with essentially no pain.

Throughout the process, I felt well-informed and engaged. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

I got an implant from Dr. Weinstein on my front tooth recently and I cannot recommend him enough! He did such a good job and he, and his team of Chey and Jessica, were so knowledgable and patient as I had a million questions at every step of the process!

Allie Ivener

21:24 17 Sep 24

Dr. Boyapati is the best. Immediately upon meeting her I knew I was in great hands -- she's kind, communicates clearly, and took her time during our appointments. Her assistant Chey helped me feel comfortable for the procedure and explained everything I needed to know for post-op. Overall, everything was quick and easy -- highly recommend Dr. Boyapati and Advanced Perio!

I recently had an appointment with Dr. Nguyen and I couldn't be more impressed. From the moment I walked in, both Dr. Nguyen and his team (Reem and Lisa) they made me feel comfortable and at ease. They were incredibly kind, professional, and attentive to my needs.

Dr. Nguyen took the time to explain every step of the procedure, and made what is typically a stressful experience smooth and painless.

🙌♥️ thank you

My dentist, Dr. Sekijima, referred me to Dr. Boyapati for tooth resorption. (She told me how great Dr. Boyapati is and I trust anything Dr. Sekijima tells me because she’s an amazing dentist.) Dr. Boyapati and staff exceeded expectations! I had an extraction & socket graft, as well as a gum graft and everything went so smoothly! She’s a great doctor, so reassuring, and one of the kindest people I’ve ever met.

Barrett Efta

I had a great experience getting my gum graft! Reem was the best, explaining everything thoroughly so I knew what was happening. She totally calmed my nerves. Thank you all!

Aaron Brethorst

03:41 05 Sep 24

As a rule, I wouldn't call 'having a tooth extracted' a great experience. But, Dr. Boyapati and the entire staff—including her surgical assistant Jessica—really made it into one.

Their offices are easily accessible downtown with lots of parking. Everyone is friendly, kind, professional, understanding, and very aware of the fact that this kind of procedure is SCARY. To that end, I am very delighted that they offer a menu of different sedation options, ranging from nitrous oxide all the way up to full sedation with an anesthesiologist.

Personally, I opted for oral sedation, which requires you to have someone drive you to and from the appointment, but otherwise was easy as can be. I was completely numb and totally blissed out the entire time, and never experienced any real pain from the procedure.

I hope I never have to have another tooth extracted, but if I do, I will definitely go back to Advanced Perio.

Nick Everist

00:57 22 Aug 24

Dr. Kaminsky and Michelle are amazing!! All of the staff are knowledgeable, kind, compassionate and professional. I’ve been seeing them for almost a year and I’ve only had good experiences.

Their instructions, guidance, and expertise made unpleasant procedures more enjoyable.

I also value their accounting/billing department’s transparency and explanation for the cost of procedures. Like Dr. Kaminsky and Michelle, they were with me every step of the way.

Margretta Murnane

I was referred here by my regular dentist for periodontal disease and have not only received excellent care at every visit, my gums are now so improved I no longer need to go here!
Dr. Kaminsky was kind, professional and answered all my questions. Most importantly, she got the results I needed. Crystal was also excellent, both knowledgeable and personable. I highly recommend Advanced Periodontics.

Jorge Mazzei

15:59 13 Jun 24

Great experience from the front office all the way to the doctors!

I am an anxious patient with white coat syndrome so I especially appreciated Crystal's caring bedside manner. She gently and accurately communicated each and every step. She made sure I understood and was ok with each step and then checked up on me after to make sure I was still comfortable.

Unfortunately, this is not my mouth's first extract/implant encounter- fortunately, I can honestly say this has been BY FAR the best.

Mary Sidorov

22:51 11 Jun 24

I have had a few cleanings here and every hygienist exceeds and goes beyond any expectation. Most recently I saw Lisa for my cleaning and she was very professional and made me feel comfortable. The dental assistant Rosa took some X-rays which I’m usually not a fan of but she made it go so smoothly! Definitely will keep coming here due to the high level of exceptional care they provide! 10/10

Completely PAINLESS! I am truly amazed at this clinic's ability to perform aggressive dental surgeries without there being any pain. Over the years I have had a root canal, an implant, and two major extractions in this clinic and every time is shockingly pain free. I cannot recommend this place enough.
