Getting an implant often means two offices: a surgeon places it, then weeks later a different dentist puts the tooth on top. At Premier Family Dental, Dr. Shahir Khalil places your implant himself and restores it in the same office on High Street, so one team answers for the whole result.
If surgery is what worries you, nitrous, oral and IV sedation are all offered here, because Dr. Khalil earned a conscious sedation license during his hospital residency. You see your X-rays on the screen beside you and get a written, itemized estimate with your insurance applied before anything is scheduled. He is a general dentist, not a specialist, and when a case truly needs one, you are told why.
An implant is meant to replace a tooth for the long haul, so how it is planned matters more than how fast it goes in. Dr. Khalil places implants himself in this office after walking you through your X-rays on the screen, and sedation is there if the idea of surgery is what has kept you living with the gap.

Adhesive only goes so far, and the complaint heard most about dentures is that they slip when you eat, talk or laugh. Mini dental implants placed in this office give your denture something to snap onto so it stays put, and the same team that places them fits and adjusts the denture later.

Once an implant has healed into the bone, it needs a tooth on top that fits your bite and matches its neighbors, and that final step is done here by the team that placed it. For broken teeth that can still be saved, CEREC crowns are milled in the office in about fifteen minutes and placed the same visit.

No. Dr. Khalil is a general dentist, and he will tell you so. He graduated from The Ohio State University College of Dentistry and completed a hospital residency at Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton, and that training is why he places and restores implants himself. If your X-rays show a case that truly needs a specialist, you are told why and referred honestly.
The area is numbed before the implant is placed, and if nerves are the bigger problem, nitrous, oral and IV sedation are all available in this office. Dr. Khalil holds a conscious sedation license, which only a small number of general dentists hold. A hand signal agreed beforehand stops the work at any point. With oral or IV sedation, you will need someone to drive you home.
It depends on how many teeth are being replaced and what goes on top, so the cost is worked out for your mouth rather than read off a price list. Before anything is scheduled, you get a written, itemized estimate with your insurance applied. The office is in-network with most PPO plans and files your claims, and in-house financing and CareCredit are there if you ask, never pushed.
Usually, yes. Mini dental implants are small implants placed in your jaw that your denture snaps onto, so it stays in place when you eat and talk. Dr. Khalil places them in this office, and the same team fits and adjusts the denture afterward. You get a written, itemized estimate with your insurance applied before any treatment is scheduled.
It depends on how many teeth are missing, the health of the teeth around the gap, and your budget. An implant replaces the root without touching the neighboring teeth, a bridge is fixed in place using the teeth on either side, and a partial is removable and usually costs the least. The options are laid out with your X-rays on screen and a written estimate for each.
