Serving Trenton, Brownstown, Riverview, Southgate, Downriver, Metro Detroit and beyond for over 45 years
Are you missing one or more teeth and looking for the most natural-looking, long-lasting solution for your smile?
At Kakaris Family Dentistry, implant-supported restorations are a core part of our restorative treatment planning, and we routinely evaluate and restore missing teeth using implant-based solutions, when appropriate, for patients in Downriver and the greater Metro Detroit area seeking a long-term, stable solution for missing teeth.
Dental implants are designed to replace both the root and crown of a missing tooth, helping restore natural function, appearance, and bite strength. Our approach focuses on integrating implant planning into comprehensive long-term oral health, and restoring teeth in a way that supports both function and facial structure.
Both Dr. Kakaris and Dr. Kakaris Porter are extensively trained in the skilled placement of dental implants and have taken accredited continuing education courses for implant dentistry around the world.
Serving patients throughout Woodhaven, Trenton, Taylor, Southgate, and the Downriver area, our implant solutions are designed to look, feel, and function just like natural teeth.
Dr. Kakaris Porter used dental implants to correct his patient’s two front teeth while maintaining the natural aesthetic of his smile.
Not every tooth replacement solution is the same. At our practice, we take a conservative, case-by-case approach to dental implants, focusing on what will provide the most predictable and long-lasting outcome for each patient.
At your Dental Implant consultation, we evaluate your bone structure and density, gum and surrounding tissue health, your bite alignment and function, and the long-term prognosis of your adjacent teeth.
Our goal is not just to replace a missing tooth, but to restore stability, comfort, and function in a way that integrates naturally with your overall oral health.
Dental implants are considered one of the most reliable long-term tooth replacement options available today, and our office takes pride in providing what is considered the gold standard of treatment when it comes to the latest dental technology and training for dental implant placement. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants replace both the tooth and the root, helping maintain bone and facial structure.
Implants are a core part of our restorative treatment planning approach for long-term tooth replacement cases; we are proud to have offered full-service dental implant restoration in our office for over 45 years. From one-on-one consultations, to implant placement surgery, to your final implant crown restoration, we do everything right here in our Woodhaven office.
Dr. Kakaris and Dr. Kakaris Porter are skilled and experienced in providing complex full arch All-on-X dental implants, single tooth implants, and implant bridges. We always prioritize your natural teeth and believe in providing customized treatment plans that promote your long-term oral health and function.
We understand that dental procedures can feel overwhelming, especially when replacing missing teeth. Our team takes time to explain your options clearly and ensure you feel comfortable throughout the entire process.
Our patients are never rushed into treatment decisions. We believe in providing information first, so you can make confident choices about your dental health.
We examine your oral health and use digital imaging to determine if implants are right for you. Your doctor will provide a detailed treatment plan to help you achieve your goals.
We take 3D scans and 3D x-rays, photos, and 4D recordings of your jaw motion. A titanium implant is accurately placed into the jawbone, where it bonds with the bone over time.
Over the course of several months, the implant will integrate with the bone and create a strong, stable foundation.
After your implant has successfully healed and integrated, a custom crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the implant to complete your new smile.
