Dental Implants in Grand Blanc, MI
Complete Your Smile
When you are missing teeth, living a normal life can be difficult, which is why we are proud to offer dental implants to residents of Grand Blanc, MI. Dental implants are a revolutionary replacement option for missing teeth because they offer a wide range of benefits not seen with traditional restoration solutions. Dental implants are designed to restore your appearance and help you regain total oral function
There are three pieces that make up a dental implant: the implant post, the metal abutment, and the custom prosthetic crown. The medical-grade titanium post mimics the root of your tooth and ensures that your dental implant is properly supported and your jaw bone is adequately stimulated. The metal abutment is the connecting piece that attaches the implant post to the prosthetic crown, which is custom-made to look exactly like your natural teeth.
Dental implants offer many benefits that other tooth replacement solutions do not. If you’re interested in dental implants in Grand Blanc, MI, you can learn all about the advantages of dental implants by visiting our office for a consultation.
The Biggest Advantages of Dental Implants
Maintain Overall Health.
Dental implants are designed to function just like natural teeth, which means that they provide all of the same benefits of a natural tooth. The implant post acts as a tooth root and ensures that your jaw bone stays stimulated, which prevents potential bone loss. Dental implants also stop your other teeth from shifting into an empty socket and causing tooth misalignment or facial sagging.
Self-supportive and Permanent.
Tooth-supported bridges and dentures require support from other teeth, gums, or other structures in the mouth. In contrast, dental implants are self-supportive, which means you don’t have to sacrifice other teeth to receive dental implants. You won’t have to worry about getting them replaced after 10–15 years.
Easy To Care For.
With their unique design, many people think dental implants must require special care. However, dental implants can be cared for just like your natural teeth. Regular flossing and brushing are all that is needed to ensure their success and lifelong potential.
Wide Range Of Treatments.
Thanks to advances in dental implant technology, we can now use dental implants in more treatments than ever before. Dental implants can restore a single missing tooth, multiple missing teeth, or an entire arch of teeth through full-arch restoration. More patients than ever are now able to receive dental implants and restore their smiles.
Dental Implant Treatment
In most cases, the dental implant treatment involves an initial consultation, the surgical appointment, and a follow-up appointment. During the initial consultation, we will thoroughly review your condition and your medical history, as well as take any X-rays or 3D scans needed to make an accurate diagnosis. After we have reviewed all necessary materials, we will develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs. We will discuss all of your options with you, provide you with instructions for pre- and post-operative care, and we will also consider your options for anesthesia.
Once you are comfortable, we will administer your chosen form of anesthesia. Most patients choose IV sedation so they can sleep through the procedure and wake up when it is over. Your oral surgeon will make a small incision in the gum tissue and place the implant post. Then, you will go home and begin your recovery.
During the next few months, you will maintain a soft foods diet while your implant heals and fuses with your jaw bone. Once fully healed, your restorative dentist will place your final crown and your restoration will be complete.
As oral and maxillofacial surgeons, we have been extensively trained to successfully place dental implants. Our team uses the latest implant techniques and technology available to provide patients with outstanding surgical care and achieve optimal results.

Reviews From Our Dental Implant Patients
Suzanne
Dental Implant
Patient
"Well, I had some bridges that were disintegrating and needed to be taken out, and that was going to cause some empty spaces, so my dentist suggested implants. First time—very nervous. It's not something that I had been through, so I didn't know what to expect. They just were very comfortable, very good at explaining what I would be going through and what to expect, so that helped. First time, I was still nervous, but I felt better about it once I had heard from them what would be happening. I'm in the chair just like any dentist's office letting them work on me, and they are very good about talking to you and asking you if you're okay. Dr. Frey is probably one of the nicest guys I know. He just makes you feel at home."

"The receptionists—they warmed up so quick with their smiles, and it’s almost like they know you personally. I felt right at home when I went in. Dr. Frey is an excellent oral surgeon. He puts you at ease, and, before you know it, the procedure’s over with, and you’re done. For any of my friends that live in Waterford, Michigan, I would not hesitate to recommend the services of Dr. Frey."
Lena
Dental Implant
Patient
"I had a tooth where my general dentist had said that it needed to be pulled. So he said that it needed to be pulled, and I needed to get an implant after the tooth was pulled, so I came here to get my tooth pulled and the implant. I was a little bit nervous at first. They kind of put me at ease by letting me know what was going on the entire process and giving me kind of a run-down of what was going to happen. My procedure was pretty painless. I didn't feel anything—you know, they gave me some drugs and everything, and I really didn't feel anything; it was pretty good. Dr. Lesneski is a great oral surgeon. I love having him as my doctor. I would recommend anybody to come to him. If any of my friends in Clio, Burton, or Flint need a dental implant, I highly recommend Greater Michigan Oral Surgeons."
Maddy
Dental Implant
Patient
"I had to get a bone graft and an implant. I had a spot in my tooth where the adult tooth wasn't there, and it was really uncomfortable because I had to wear a retainer every day. I was really nervous, but they made me feel very welcome. It was very easy; it was a two-process thing. I came in one day to get my bone graft and then the next time, I came in to get my implant, and it was all super easy and quick. The staff was really welcoming and nice and friendly. Dr. Lesneski was super nice and super welcoming and made me feel very comfortable. I feel super confident now, and it's nice not having the problem of not having the tooth."
Erisa

Patient
"I had a wisdom tooth that I needed to have taken out—I put it off for a very long time—and I also needed an implant put in. I was scared. I do not like be sedated—until I met Dr. Lesneski. It went really well. I was sedated, my procedure felt like it took a minute, even though I'm sure it took a lot longer, and I went home, recovered pretty fast, and everything went back to normal. I do like his office. His staff is very friendly. I really appreciate the fact he walked me through the entire procedure and made me feel safe. I would highly recommend Greater Michigan Oral Surgeons, especially Dr. Lesneski."
