Dental Implant Services in Honolulu

At Smile Innovations Hawaii, Dr. Cecile Sebastian and her team are revolutionizing dental implants in Honolulu, Hawaii. Using state-of-the-art cone beam technology and digital scanners to create 3D models, they can plan the procedure before the procedure. A surgical guide is fabricated based on this initial planning to allow a minimally invasive surgery to place the implant, resulting in precise placement, faster healing, and minimal to no pain.

Dental Implants Procedures

Single Tooth Implants

If you have one or more missing teeth, implants can replace those you have lost and return your mouth to a fully functional, healthy state that lasts a lifetime.

1. Comprehensive records are taken using state-of-the-art cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and digital scanning, ensuring the precise placement of your new crown.
2. A surgical guide is fabricated based on this plan.
3. Dental implant placement is performed using this guide for minimally invasive surgery with minimal pain and discomfort.
4. A temporary crown may be placed on the day of the implant placement.
5. A final crown made to match the remaining natural teeth is created and delivered, usually 3-4 months after placement.

Multiple Implants

If you have lost more than one tooth in the same area, implants can be placed and a fixed multiple unit bridge can be built on the strong implants to avoid wearing dentures. Implants help you retain your bone, while dentures may lead to bone loss over time.

Fixed Hybrid Prostheses

If you have lost all of your teeth or your remaining teeth are too damaged, weak, and not salvageable, implants are a great solution to allow you to continue to eat and function with teeth that do not move. These fixed hybrid prostheses look very natural and help patients avoid the embarrassment and discomfort of removable dentures.

Our Commitment to Continuous Learning

Dr. Sebastian is renowned not only for her exceptional patient care but also for her dedication to the ongoing advancement of dentistry. She actively shares her knowledge through lectures at community groups and the Hawaii Dental Association State Convention, embodying the ethos that the best dentists are lifelong learners.

Cutting Edge Procedures and Technology for Precision and Comfort

• Axeos 3-D Dental Imaging: This cutting-edge technology provides detailed 3D data for accurate diagnoses, all within the comfort of our clinic.
• Solea Dental Laser: Revolutionizing dental procedures, the Solea CO2 laser system offers a virtually painless experience, replacing the need for traditional drills.
• PRP (Protein-Rich Plasma): Using our patient’s blood, we extract growth factors that help in wound healing. This is used after extractions and during sinus or implant surgeries in our office. PRP aids in bone healing and the repair of bone defects, improving patient outcomes and reducing healing time.
• PRF (Protein-Rich Fibrin): Clinically proven to help patients heal faster after tooth extractions, PRF is extracted from the patient’s blood and acts as a bioactive surgical additive to promote healing and reduce discomfort.
