THE GOLD STANDARD IN TOOTH REPLACEMENT
A permanent, high-tech foundation designed to function exactly like your natural smile.
Losing a tooth can affect more than just your smile—it impacts your confidence and your long-term bone health. Dental implants are a solution that replaces the entire tooth, from the root up.
​
At Downriver Surgery Center, we use medical-grade titanium and advanced 3D imaging to ensure your implant integrates perfectly with your jaw. This doesn't just fill a gap; it preserves your facial structure and gives you back the freedom to eat, speak, and smile with total certainty.
A SEAMLESS SURGICAL EXPERIENCE
From your first visit to your final recovery, we provide a seamless, stress-free path to a healthier smile.
01
THE DIGITAL BLUEPRINT
We start with a 3D scan of your jaw to map out the perfect placement. Dr. Alec walks you through the digital model so you can see exactly how we will rebuild your smile’s foundation.
02
A CLEAR PLAN
Once the mapping is complete, we handle all the coordination with your general dentist. We’ll guide you through the timeline and the investment so there are no surprises—just a clear path forward.
03
PRECISION PLACEMENT
During the procedure, you’ll drift into a peaceful sleep just like our other treatments. Dr. Alec uses the digital guide to place the implant with incredible accuracy, ensuring the most comfortable fit possible.
04
STAYING BY YOUR SIDE
You’ll wake up in that same private room, resting until you feel ready to head home. Our team stays with you every step of the way to make sure you're feeling steady and supported before you leave.
05
A PERSONAL FOLLOW-UP
We’ll send you home with a custom care kit to help the implant settle in perfectly. Just like all our surgeries, Dr. Alec will call you that evening to see how you're doing and answer any questions.
A STABLE FOUNDATION
Healing from a dental implant is a unique and quiet process where your new foundation slowly becomes a permanent part of your smile. While the initial recovery is surprisingly quick, the real magic happens beneath the surface as the implant integrates with your jaw.

FAQ
Most patients are surprised to find that implant placement is actually easier than an extraction. With our gentle sedation, you won’t feel a thing during the visit, and post-op discomfort is typically very mild.
The surgery itself is quick, but the healing takes a few months to ensure the implant is strong enough to hold a tooth. We work closely with your dentist to make sure the timing is perfect for your final crown.
Most adults are! During your consultation, Dr. Alec uses our 3D imaging to check your bone density. Even if you've been told 'no' before, new techniques often make implants possible for almost everyone.
Dr. Alec personally checks in on every patient the evening of their procedure. He wants to make sure you are resting comfortably and that you have everything you need for a successful start to your healing.
Unlike a bridge, an implant doesn't require us to alter or 'sacrifice' the healthy neighboring teeth to hold it in place; it stands entirely on its own. It also eliminates the common frustrations of dentures, like the inconvenience of removing them at night or the worry of them slipping at an awkward moment. By choosing an implant, you’re investing in a permanent solution that looks and feels so natural, you might even forget it isn't your original tooth.
Your comfort is our top priority, and we tailor our approach to whatever makes you feel most at ease. Most dental implant procedures can be performed right here in our office using local numbing, but we also offer general anesthesia for those who prefer to simply drift off into a peaceful sleep. During your consultation, Dr. Alec will walk you through both options so we can choose the one that helps you feel completely relaxed and confident.
