Why Choose a Prosthodontist for Dental Implants?
A prosthodontist is a dental specialist who completes three additional years of training beyond dental school focused entirely on tooth replacement and restoration. While general dentists can place implants, a prosthodontist brings specialized expertise in:
- Complex case planning for patients with multiple missing teeth, bone loss, or prior implant failures
- Full-mouth rehabilitation combining implants with crowns, bridges, and dentures for complete smile restoration
- Aesthetic precision ensuring your implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth
- Material science knowledge to select the right implant type (titanium or zirconia) for your biology
Dr. Gabi’s background in genetics and artificial intelligence allows him to assess your individual biology before recommending a treatment plan. This means fewer complications, faster healing, and implants designed to last.
Implant Options We Offer in Brentwood
Traditional Dental Implants
The most common solution for single or multiple missing teeth. A titanium or zirconia post is placed into your jawbone, where it fuses with the bone over several months (a process called osseointegration). Once healed, a custom crown is attached that matches your surrounding teeth.
Best for: Patients with adequate jawbone density who need to replace one or several teeth.
Zirconia (Metal-Free) Implants
For patients who prefer a completely metal-free approach, we offer zirconia dental implants. These ceramic implants are hypoallergenic, corrosion-resistant, and integrate well with both bone and soft tissue. Their white color prevents the grayish tint that titanium implants can sometimes cause along the gumline.
Best for: Patients with metal sensitivities, those prioritizing biocompatibility, or anyone wanting the most natural-looking result.
Subperiosteal Implants (No Bone Grafting Required)
Traditional implants require sufficient jawbone. If you have been told you do not have enough bone for implants, our subperiosteal implant option may change that. Using the Panthera CAD/CAM system and 3D CBCT imaging, we design a custom titanium framework that sits on top of your existing bone rather than inside it.
Best for: Patients with severe bone loss who want to avoid bone grafting surgery.
All-on-4 and Full-Arch Implants
If you are missing all or most teeth in an arch, All-on-4 implants provide a fixed, permanent set of teeth supported by just four strategically placed implants. This approach often eliminates the need for bone grafting and can provide same-day teeth in many cases.
Best for: Patients who need a complete upper or lower set of teeth and want a permanent, non-removable solution.
What Sets Our Implant Practice Apart
At Primary Integrative Dentistry, we treat dental implants as part of your overall health picture, not just a mechanical procedure. Our integrative approach includes:
- 3D CBCT Imaging and AI Diagnostics: Our 3D scanning technology combined with AI-assisted analysis lets Dr. Gabi plan implants in the optimal position the first time.
- PRF Regenerative Therapy: We use platelet-rich fibrin drawn from your own blood to accelerate healing at the implant site and reduce the risk of complications.
- Ozone Therapy: Medical-grade ozone sterilizes the surgical site, promotes healthy bone healing, and supports implant stability without antibiotics.
- Biocompatibility Testing: Before placing any implant, we can test materials against your individual biology to reduce the chance of adverse reactions.

The Dental Implant Process at Primary ID
Every implant case is different, but here is the general timeline you can expect:
- Consultation and Assessment: We take 3D scans, review your medical history, and discuss your goals. If you are a candidate, we create a custom treatment plan.
- Implant Placement: The implant post is placed into your jawbone under local anesthesia. Most patients report less discomfort than they expected.
- Healing Period: Over 3 to 6 months, the implant fuses with your bone. We use PRF therapy to speed this process.
- Restoration: Once healed, we attach your custom crown, bridge, or full-arch prosthetic. Dr. Gabi personally designs each restoration for a natural fit.
- Follow-Up Care: Regular checkups ensure your implant stays healthy. With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime.
Dental Implant Cost in Brentwood
The cost of dental implants depends on several factors: the number of implants needed, the type of implant (titanium vs. zirconia), whether bone grafting is required, and the complexity of your case.
National averages for dental implants typically range from $3,000 to $6,000 per single implant (including the post, abutment, and crown). Full-arch solutions like All-on-4 generally range from $20,000 to $30,000 per arch.
We accept most major dental insurance plans and offer financing options to make implant treatment accessible. During your consultation, we provide a transparent cost breakdown with no hidden fees.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do dental implants last?
With proper oral hygiene and regular dental visits, dental implants can last 25 years or longer. Many patients keep their implants for life. The crown or prosthetic on top may need replacement after 10 to 15 years due to normal wear.
Are dental implants painful?
Most patients are surprised by how little discomfort they experience. We use local anesthesia during placement and PRF therapy to reduce post-surgical swelling. Most people return to normal activities within a day or two.
Am I a candidate for dental implants if I have bone loss?
Yes. While traditional implants require adequate bone density, our subperiosteal implant option and bone grafting techniques can accommodate patients with significant bone loss. Dr. Gabi evaluates each case individually using 3D imaging.
What is the difference between titanium and zirconia implants?
Titanium implants have the longest track record and are extremely durable. Zirconia implants are metal-free, hypoallergenic, and offer a more natural appearance. Both integrate well with bone. Dr. Gabi helps patients choose based on their health history, aesthetics, and biocompatibility needs.
Do you offer same-day dental implants?
In select cases, yes. All-on-4 full-arch implants can sometimes provide temporary teeth on the same day as surgery. During your consultation, Dr. Gabi will determine whether same-day placement is appropriate for your situation.
How much do dental implants cost?
A single dental implant (post, abutment, and crown) typically costs between $3,000 and $6,000 nationally. Full-arch All-on-4 solutions range from $20,000 to $30,000 per arch. Your final cost depends on the number of implants, material type, and any preparatory procedures like bone grafting. We provide a detailed cost breakdown during your consultation.
Does dental insurance cover implants?
Many dental insurance plans cover a portion of implant treatment, particularly the crown and diagnostic imaging. Coverage varies by plan. Our team verifies your benefits before treatment begins and explains your out-of-pocket costs upfront. We also offer financing options.
What is a prosthodontist?
A prosthodontist is a dental specialist with three additional years of residency training focused on replacing and restoring teeth. This includes implants, crowns, bridges, dentures, and full-mouth reconstructions. Dr. Gabi is the only prosthodontist offering integrative implant care in Brentwood.
How long does the dental implant process take from start to finish?
The complete process typically takes 4 to 8 months. After the implant post is placed, your jawbone needs 3 to 6 months to fuse with the implant (osseointegration). Once healed, attaching the final crown takes one or two additional visits. Some cases, like All-on-4, can be completed faster.
Can dental implants fail?
Implant failure is uncommon. Studies show success rates above 95% over 10 years. Risk factors include smoking, uncontrolled diabetes, and poor oral hygiene. At Primary ID, we reduce failure risk with 3D-guided placement, PRF healing therapy, ozone sterilization, and biocompatibility testing.
What are subperiosteal implants?
Subperiosteal implants use a custom-designed titanium framework that rests on top of the jawbone rather than inside it. This option is ideal for patients who lack the bone volume for traditional implants and want to avoid bone grafting. Primary ID uses the Panthera CAD/CAM system with 3D CBCT imaging to fabricate each framework.
How do I care for dental implants after placement?
Caring for implants is similar to caring for natural teeth. Brush twice daily, floss around the implant, and visit your dentist for regular checkups and cleanings. Avoid chewing ice or hard objects. With consistent maintenance, your implants should last decades.
