Dental Implants in Parma, OH

Replace Missing Teeth With Implants That Look and Feel Natural

A Foundation for New Teeth

A New Tooth Root, Not Just a New Tooth

Dentures and bridges replace the part of a tooth you can see. A dental implant also replaces the part you can’t, the root.

A small titanium post is placed in the jawbone, and over three to six months the bone fuses around it to create a stable foundation. An abutment and custom crown then complete the tooth. Our implant treatment is planned by a prosthodontist, who designs the final tooth first and uses 3D imaging to map exactly where each implant should go.

In 60 seconds, find out if dental implants are right for you.

Services We Offer

Dental Implants Services We Offer

Whether you are missing one tooth or several in a row, implants can be planned around your bite and your goals. Here are the two most common ways we use them, and what each one can do for you.

Single Tooth Implants

A single tooth implant replaces one missing tooth without touching the healthy teeth beside it, so you can chew on both sides again with confidence.

Unlike a traditional bridge, which needs the neighboring teeth filed down for support, an implant stands on its own. The post is placed in the jawbone, given time to heal, and topped with a crown shaded to match your other teeth. Because the implant stimulates the bone like a natural root, it also helps keep the jaw from shrinking where the tooth used to be. Day to day, you brush and floss it just like the rest of your teeth.

Multiple Implants

When several teeth are missing, multiple implants can restore a full section of your smile and give you back the chewing strength removable partials often lack.

Depending on where the gaps are, each missing tooth may get its own implant, or two implants can support an implant bridge that spans several teeth. Multiple implants can often be placed in the same visit, which keeps the overall timeline shorter. Dr. Mouawia Ghiba plans the final teeth first, using 3D imaging to decide where each implant should go, so the result fits your bite and looks natural beside your remaining teeth.

Everyday Freedom Again

Benefits of Dental Implants

Choosing dental implants is about more than filling a gap. Once you stop working around a missing tooth, everyday moments like sharing a meal or smiling in a photo start to feel easy again.

Eat What You Want Again

Biting into an apple or chewing a steak no longer means shifting food to one side. Implants are anchored in bone, so you can chew with steady pressure and enjoy meals without planning around your teeth.
Your crown is shaped and shaded to match the teeth around it. In conversations and photos, people see your smile, not dental work, and you stop catching yourself hiding it.
After a tooth is lost, the bone beneath it slowly shrinks. An implant stimulates the jaw like a natural root, helping preserve bone and the shape of your face over time.
A traditional bridge relies on filing down the teeth on either side of a gap. An implant supports itself, so your healthy neighboring teeth stay just as they are.
There is no adhesive, no soaking, and no worry about a partial shifting while you talk. You brush and floss your implant the same way you care for the rest of your teeth.
With good home care and regular checkups, implants can last for decades. That makes them a lasting investment in comfort and confidence rather than a fix you replace every few years.

Who Implants Help

Are Dental Implants Right for You?

Implants work for more people than most expect, and missing a tooth for years doesn’t automatically rule you out. Use the information below to see how your situation compares before you talk with our team.

Missing One or More Teeth

Whether you lost a tooth recently or years ago, an implant can fill the gap with a replacement that looks, feels, and functions much like a natural tooth.

Tired of a Loose Partial or Denture

If your removable teeth slip, rub, or need adhesive to stay put, implants can anchor replacement teeth so they stay in place while you eat and speak.

Facing a Tooth That Can’t Be Saved

When a tooth is too damaged to repair, planning for an implant early helps protect the bone and keeps your other teeth from drifting into the gap.

Does This Sound Like You?

Many patients come to us after living with these frustrations for months or even years. See if any of them sound familiar.

Your Complete Smile Is Within Reach

If any of these feel familiar, dental implants could bring back easy meals and a smile you share freely.

Your Treatment Timeline

What to Expect During Your Dental Implant Treatment

Implant treatment happens in stages, and each one has a clear purpose. Our team walks you through every step before anything begins, so you always know what’s next.
1

Consultation and 3D Planning

Your first visit includes an exam and 3D imaging of your jaw, which shows the bone available for an implant and whether a bone graft or sinus lift is needed first. Your doctor reviews the results with you, explains your options and fees, and maps out where each implant should go.
2

Implant Placement

After the area is numbed with local anesthetic, a small incision is made in the gum and the implant is placed in the jawbone. Several implants can be placed at once if needed. A temporary tooth can often be provided while you heal, so you can eat and speak normally.
3

Healing and Your New Tooth

Over the next three to six months, the bone fuses with the implant. Once it has healed, we attach the abutment, take an impression, and have your custom crown made. At your final visit the crown is secured in place, and after a short adjustment period it feels much like your own tooth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Dental Implant FAQs

Choosing implants raises plenty of questions about comfort, timing, and cost. Below are the answers to the questions our patients ask most often. If something you’re wondering about isn’t covered here, our team is happy to talk it through with you.

Does getting a dental implant hurt?

Local anesthetic numbs the area before placement, so most patients feel pressure rather than pain during the procedure. Some soreness and swelling afterward is normal for a few days and is usually managed with over-the-counter pain relievers and ice. If you feel anxious, ask us about comfort options.
Most single implant cases are completed over a few months. Placement takes one visit, then the bone needs about three to six months to fuse with the implant before your final crown is attached. Cases that need bone grafting first take longer, and we share your timeline upfront.
Age alone rarely rules anyone out. What matters more is your overall health and the bone available in your jaw. Chronic illness, heart disease, or severe osteoporosis can affect candidacy, which is why we review your health history and take 3D images before recommending treatment.
Bone loss is common after a tooth has been missing for a while. In many cases, a bone graft or sinus lift can rebuild the area so an implant has a stable base. Your 3D scan shows whether this step is needed before any treatment begins.
A bridge replaces a missing tooth by using the teeth on either side as anchors, which means filing those healthy teeth down. An implant stands on its own in the jawbone, leaves neighboring teeth untouched, and helps preserve the bone where the tooth was lost.
With good home care and regular checkups, implants can last for decades, and many last a lifetime. The crown on top may eventually need replacement from normal wear. Brushing, flossing, and routine cleanings are the keys to keeping your implant healthy.
The cost depends on how many implants you need, whether bone grafting or extractions are required, and the type of restoration on top. After your consultation, we give you a clear breakdown of fees. We accept most PPO plans, and flexible payment options are available.
Usually not. In many cases we can provide a temporary tooth during the healing period so you can eat, speak, and smile normally. We discuss the best temporary option for your situation during planning, so you know what to expect before placement day.
Treat it like a natural tooth. Brush twice a day, floss or use a water flosser around the implant daily, and keep up with regular cleanings and exams. Healthy gums around the implant are important for keeping it stable for years to come.
Your implant treatment is planned and restored by our prosthodontist, a specialist in replacing missing teeth. From your first scan to your final crown, you’ll work with the same team in our office.

Meet the Doctors

Different Strengths, One Shared Approach

Each doctor brings a different area of focus, from prevention to complex restorations, but every visit works the same way. We explain what’s going on, walk you through your options, and let you decide what’s right for you.
  • DMD, Prosthodontist

    Dentists refer patients to Dr. Mouawia Ghiba for prosthodontic care, the specialty covering implants, dentures, and partials. He earned his DMD from Boston University in 1993, completed his prosthodontics specialty in 1996, and has held teaching appointments at Case Western University and UMDNJ.
  • Dr. Awadallah has treated patients at this address since 1982. An Ohio State University graduate, he focuses on prevention and diagnosis, catching problems in your teeth and gums while they are still small and simple to fix.
  • Dr. Ahmad Ghiba handles root canals, extractions, and restorations for patients of every age, along with esthetic and surgical care. A Detroit Mercy graduate, he plans each tooth for how it works and how it looks, and explains both before he starts.
