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.

He made my husband Bob feel very comfortable. He was totally patient, able to answer every question that he had. Overall, our experience was one of complete satisfaction and comfort with the treatment we received, from everyone starting from the office to Dr. Frey. I would give Greater Michigan Oral Surgeons a five-star rating because they deserve it."
Erisa
Dental Implant
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."

"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."
Calvin
Dental Implant
Patient
"My doctor — I've been with him for years — so I asked him . . . you know, he told me pretty much what I needed to do, and that was the bone implant. So, him being the guy he is, I asked him, "Give me the best place to go and the best person you know to do the work." So he suggested Dr. Lesneski here. I was terrified; you know, you hear so many things about, you know, drilling into your bone. But once I got here, they made me feel totally comfortable before the procedure. Dr. Lesneski did two dental implants; they gave me pain medication for after the procedure, but I didn't even take it. He called me, actually, after he did the procedure to check on me. That's rare, and it's a great experience, and I would pass it on for anybody who considers that procedure going forward or in the future to consider this place. It's really good."

The doctors here are very wonderful about making you feel relaxed. They want you to feel at ease, which I definitely did. [The] procedure went really well. It was faster than I expected, and I was out of here in no time. Recovery time was really great. I would highly recommend Greater Michigan Oral Surgeons."
