Restore Your Smile With Dental Implants
Missing teeth can affect far more than your smile. They can change the way you eat, speak, and feel about yourself. Dental implants offer a long-lasting solution that restores comfort, function, and confidence while preserving the natural beauty and health of your smile.
For more than 20 years, Marielaina Perrone, DDS has helped patients throughout Henderson, Green Valley, Las Vegas, Summerlin, Anthem, and surrounding Southern Nevada replace missing teeth with personalized dental implant solutions designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
Whether you're replacing a single tooth or restoring an entire smile, every treatment plan is thoughtfully customized to your oral health, lifestyle, and long-term goals.
More Than Replacing Missing Teeth
Dental implants are designed to replace missing tooth roots and provide a strong foundation for replacement teeth. After the implant has healed, a custom crown, bridge, or denture is attached to restore the appearance and function of your smile.
Unlike traditional tooth replacement options, dental implants fuse with the jawbone, providing exceptional stability while helping maintain healthy bone structure over time.

What to Expect at Every Stage
Select each stage to understand how dental implant treatment typically progresses. Your exact sequence and timing will depend on your oral health, bone support, healing, and the type of restoration being planned.
1. Consultation and Planning Building the foundation for predictable treatment
Treatment begins with a comprehensive examination, a review of your medical and dental history, and appropriate imaging. Bone quality, gum health, bite forces, existing restorations, and your personal goals are evaluated before an implant recommendation is made.
✓ Comprehensive oral examination
✓ Digital X-rays or 3D imaging when appropriate
✓ Review of treatment options and alternatives
✓ Personalized sequence, costs, and estimated timing
“The most successful implant treatment begins long before the implant is placed. Careful diagnosis and planning influence everything that follows.”
— Marielaina Perrone, DDS
2. Preparing the Site Creating healthy conditions for the implant
Some patients are ready for implant placement immediately. Others need treatment first, such as removing a damaged tooth, controlling gum disease, or rebuilding deficient bone. These preparatory steps are not delays; they help create a healthier and more stable foundation.
✓ Tooth removal when necessary
✓ Periodontal treatment when inflammation is present
✓ Bone grafting or sinus augmentation in selected cases
✓ Temporary tooth replacement when appropriate
3. Implant Placement Placing the new foundation
The dental implant is positioned within the jawbone according to the treatment plan. Local anesthesia is used for comfort. Post-treatment instructions may include temporary diet changes, gentle cleaning, and medication recommendations based on your individual needs.
✓ Precisely planned implant position
✓ Local anesthesia for comfort
✓ Personalized postoperative instructions
✓ Follow-up to monitor early healing
“Patients are often surprised that implant placement is more comfortable than they imagined. Clear instructions and thoughtful follow-up make the experience much easier.”
— Marielaina Perrone, DDS
4. Healing and Osseointegration Allowing the implant and bone to become stable
During osseointegration, bone heals around the implant and helps hold it securely in place. This process commonly requires several months, although timing varies. Some patients can wear a temporary restoration during healing, while others must avoid placing pressure on the implant.
✓ Bone gradually integrates around the implant
✓ Healing is monitored at follow-up visits
✓ Temporary teeth may be possible in selected cases
✓ Final restoration waits until stability is appropriate
“Patients cannot see osseointegration happening, but this quiet healing phase is what creates the strong foundation dental implants are known for.”
— Marielaina Perrone, DDS
5. Designing the Final Restoration Creating a tooth that fits your smile and bite
Once the implant is ready to support the final restoration, records are taken to design a custom implant crown, bridge, or implant-supported denture. Shape, shade, gum contours, neighboring teeth, and bite relationships are considered so the result looks natural and functions comfortably.
✓ Digital scan or detailed impression
✓ Customized shape, shade, and proportions
✓ Evaluation of fit and bite
✓ Final restoration attached to the implant
6. Long-Term Implant Care Protecting your investment
A dental implant cannot develop a cavity, but the gums and bone around it can become inflamed or diseased. Daily cleaning, professional maintenance, bite monitoring, and periodic imaging help protect the implant and its supporting tissues.
✓ Brush and clean around the implant every day
✓ Attend recommended maintenance visits
✓ Report bleeding, swelling, or discomfort promptly
✓ Wear a nightguard if one is recommended
“Implant placement is not the end of care. Long-term success depends on healthy gums, healthy bone, and consistent maintenance.”
— Marielaina Perrone, DDS
Individual treatment varies. Some patients can receive an implant and temporary tooth during the same appointment, while others require grafting or additional healing. Your examination and diagnostic records determine the safest and most appropriate timeline.
