Transform your smile with custom porcelain veneers that look natural and last for years. At BOCO Dental & Prosthodontics, Dr. Marisa Patt — a cosmetic dentist and prosthodontist — uses expertly crafted veneers to correct chips, stains, gaps, and more, giving you a confident, youthful smile.
Dental implants are restorative dentistry options designed to replace missing teeth. What makes a dental implant different (and in many cases preferable) from standard treatment options such as dentures is that it essentially recreates the function of the tooth right down to the root.
Dental implants are made to mimic natural teeth in almost every way, restoring missing teeth with results that can look, function, and feel as though the original teeth were never lost. Dr. Marisa Patt is not only a dentist, but also a prosthodontist, which is a specialty field focused on complex dental restorations such as missing teeth replacement.
If dental implants are the right option for your needs, Dr. Patt can create a customized treatment plan capable of restoring your teeth with exceptional results.

Benefits of Dental Implants
Durable and Long-Lasting: Dental implants offer a permanent solution for missing teeth, often lasting decades with proper care.
Natural Appearance:Designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, implants restore the beauty of your smile.
Enhanced Oral Function: Implants improve eating and speaking abilities, making it easier to enjoy daily activities with confidence.
Prevention of Bone Loss: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone deterioration and preserving facial structure over time.
GET TO KNOW
The Process
Initial Consultation
The process begins with a one-on-one consultation where Dr. Patt evaluates your oral health, reviews your dental history, and discusses your smile goals. Diagnostic tools such as 3D imaging may be used to assess your jawbone and overall oral structure. This step ensures you’re a good candidate for dental implants and helps establish a tailored treatment plan.
Customized Treatment Planning
Once candidacy is confirmed, Dr. Patt develops a personalized treatment plan designed to address your unique needs. This includes determining the type of implant and restoration best suited for you, as well as coordinating steps like bone grafting if additional preparation is needed.
Implant Placement (in Collaboration)
The surgical placement of the dental implant is typically handled by a trusted oral surgeon or periodontist. Dr. Patt works closely with these specialists to create a seamless process. The implant serves as a sturdy foundation to support your new tooth.
Healing Period
After placement, the jawbone needs time to heal and integrate with the implant through a process called osseointegration. This period typically lasts a few months, ensuring the implant becomes a secure part of your bone structure. Temporary restorations may be provided to maintain functionality and appearance during this phase.
Impression and Final Restoration Design
Once healing is complete, Dr. Patt takes highly precise impressions using advanced tools like the iTero Digital Scanner. These impressions guide the crafting of a custom crown, bridge, or denture that matches the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth.
Final Restoration and Fitting
The custom restoration is securely attached to the dental implant, creating a fully functional and natural-looking tooth replacement. Dr. Patt ensures a perfect fit and bite alignment, making adjustments as needed for optimal comfort and appearance.
Follow-Up Care and Maintenance
Regular follow-up visits help monitor the success of your implant and ensure long-term oral health. Dr. Patt provides personalized guidance on caring for your implant to maintain its durability, functionality, and aesthetics for years to come.
