Aesthetic Dentistry Associates is set to enhance dental care by launching a dedicated implant center aimed at addressing complex dental needs. Located in Houston, this comprehensive practice specializes in restorative and cosmetic services, particularly for patients with severe dental issues such as failing restorations, gum disease, and ill-fitting dentures.
Dr. David Umansky, DDS, the practice owner, emphasized the importance of providing effective solutions for patients facing ongoing dental challenges. “Many patients have been caught in a cycle of failing restorations—cavities leading to root canals, crowns failing, and eventually needing dentures,” he explained.
With over 23 years of experience, Dr. Umansky is a highly trained implant and cosmetic dentist committed to restoring patients’ confidence and quality of life. His new facility, the Returning Smiles Dental Implant Center, will soon launch a website to outline its services and enhance patient experiences.
Dr. Umansky noted that the traditional full-arch dental implant process, often referred to as All-on-4 or All-on-X, used to require more than a year and numerous visits. This made it prohibitively expensive for many. “New technologies have revolutionized this procedure,” he said.
“Providers who invest in mastering these technologies can offer streamlined treatment processes that greatly benefit their patients.”
The new implant center will expand the range of services offered by Aesthetic Dentistry Associates, which includes:
Single-tooth implants
Implant-supported bridges
Full-arch implants
All-on-4 dental implants
Implant-supported dentures
Dr. Umansky’s approach to implants is distinguished not only by his expertise but also by his commitment to using advanced technologies.
The center incorporates state-of-the-art tools such as 3D CBCT imaging, intraoral scanning, photogrammetry, and 3D facial scanning.
“Our 3D scanner allows us to create realistic smile mock-ups tailored specifically to the patient’s face,” Dr. Umansky explained. “This customized approach ensures greater accuracy and aesthetics.”
The implant process begins with a detailed 3D evaluation using advanced imaging techniques to create a digital avatar of the patient.
This allows for precise surgical planning and the design of a custom prosthetic.
After finalizing the plans and performing the implant surgery, the practice produces a temporary prosthetic in-house. This temporary solution boosts the patient’s confidence while they await healing and integration of the implants with their jawbone.
“We focus on optimal positioning for both function and appearance,” Dr. Umansky stated. “By taking a facially driven approach, we ensure that our implants are placed precisely to meet aesthetic goals.”
This personalized approach is especially beneficial for patients requiring full-arch implant solutions, which involve strategically placing 4-6 implants per arch along with a screw-retained zirconia bridge.
These comprehensive solutions allow patients to return to their daily activities without discomfort or embarrassment from poorly fitting dentures or damaged teeth.
Aesthetic Dentistry Associates is poised to redefine dental implant procedures through its innovative techniques and commitment to patient care, ensuring that individuals with complex dental needs receive the highest quality treatment available.
