When you’re told you need a dental implant, one of the first questions that often follows is: Where will this actually happen? Many patients are surprised to learn that not every dental office performs surgical placement in-house. In some practices, you’re referred out to a specialist for the procedure, then return to your original dentist for the restoration. That handoff between providers creates more appointments, more coordination, and less continuity in your care.
At Elite Dental Aesthetics in Reno, we handle dental implants from the initial evaluation through to your final restoration, right here in our office. You stay with the same team, the same doctor, and the same familiar environment throughout the entire treatment. It’s one of the things that genuinely sets us apart, and it makes a real difference in your experience.
One Provider, One Plan
When the same dentist places your implant and designs your restoration, your treatment is built around a single, unified vision. There’s no communication gap between what one provider intended and what another needs to execute. Dr. Travis Adams, who holds advanced training in implant dentistry, oral surgery, and fixed prosthodontics, oversees every stage of your care. That continuity allows for more precise, thoughtful outcomes because the person placing your implant already knows exactly what the final result needs to look like.
Fewer Appointments, Less Disruption
Referrals take time. Scheduling between multiple offices, managing records across providers, and waiting for clearances between steps can stretch a treatment timeline considerably. Because everything happens here, your care moves forward on one coordinated schedule. You’re never left wondering who to call with a question or waiting for one provider to get back to another.
Advanced Technology Supporting Every Step
In-office implant placement isn’t just about convenience. It’s made possible by the dental technology we’ve invested in, so treatments can be planned and executed with precision. Our CBCT (cone-beam computed tomography) imaging provides a detailed, three-dimensional view of your bone structure before a single incision is made. That level of diagnostic accuracy helps us plan your implant position carefully and anticipate any variables that could affect your outcome.
The Implant Solutions We Offer
We provide a range of implant options without sending you elsewhere for the surgical phase, ensuring a more streamlined experience and consistent care from beginning to end.
Single Implants and Extractions
Whether you’re missing one tooth or several, our oral surgery capabilities allow extractions and implant placements to be coordinated to simplify your overall treatment. Fewer transitions between providers means fewer delays and a clearer path forward.
Full-Arch Options
For patients who have experienced significant tooth loss and are exploring more comprehensive solutions, we also offer All-on-4 dental implants, which use four strategically placed implants to support a full arch of teeth. Having this level of care available in one place means you can have a genuine conversation about your full range of options with the same provider who will be treating you.
What the Research Shows
Patients often want to know how well implants hold up over time. The evidence is reassuring. A large-scale retrospective analysis published by the National Institutes of Health reviewed more than 50,000 dental implants placed between 2011 and 2022 and found that survival rates were 98.4% for immediately placed implants and 98.6% for those placed in fully healed sockets, confirming that both approaches deliver predictable, lasting outcomes. Success at that level reflects how far implant dentistry has come, and it’s the standard our team holds itself to with every patient we treat.
