A long-lasting choice, implant-supported dentistry brings you as close to growing new teeth as possible. The stability and sense of confidence you develop with dental implants will leave you pleasantly surprised.
Tooth implants bond directly to the jawbone, creating a reliable foundation for replacement teeth. When paired with modern porcelain restorations, they look and feel remarkably real, often blending in so naturally, you may even forget they’re there.
Dental implants can also be used to support dentures, offering more security and ease than traditional options. A personalized treatment plan ensures that every step is mapped with long-term comfort, function, and aesthetics in mind.
At Shoreline Dental Studio, we offer convenient in-house implant placement thanks to Dr. Nguyen, our doctor with advanced training in implant dentistry. He has extensive experience with both dental implant surgery and final restoration of implants. He focuses on helping patients replace missing teeth with results that look natural, feel stable, and last over time.
Many patients find implant placement easier than they expected. Before the procedure, we use a CBCT scan to capture a detailed 3D image of your teeth and bone. This allows us to plan the exact angle and position of the dental implant ahead of time.
During the dental implant surgery, modern anesthesia numbs the area completely, and our team will discuss sedation options to match your comfort level. From there, the tooth implant is carefully placed by experienced hands. Overall, the process is often simpler than patients anticipate.
Implant placement lays the groundwork for a wide range of restoration options. After the healing time, crowns or bridges are custom-made and attached to the implants with small screws or dental cement.
Dr. Nguyen completed advanced training in implant surgery and provides in-house care at Shoreline. He handles most implant dentistry cases at our Studio, with complex treatments referred out when needed. Learn more about Dr. Nguyen and how he approaches implant care.
While dental implants offer incredible benefits, cost is still a key consideration. When you factor in advanced imaging, expert training, and state-of-the-art materials, implants stand out as one of the most affordable, high-value investments in modern healthcare.
Unlike joint replacements or other surgeries, dental implants are often completed at a fraction of the cost, with far less downtime. Better yet, most patients carry on with normal activities quickly and enjoy a lifetime of chewing, bite stability, and restored appearance.
If you’re missing one or more teeth, dental implants may be the right option. Book an implant consultation with Dr. Nguyen at Shoreline Dental Studio to learn whether you’re a candidate and map out the most effective path forward.

“Best dental experience ever! Everyone is so sweet, caring and incredibly knowledgeable and confident. I was super nervous about going to dentist after not having gone for awhile but as soon as stepped into the studio I felt like I was in good, loving hands and had nothing to worry about! Everyone is so great about creating a calm and friendly experience:) Dr. Livingston is the best!”

“It’s a friendly, welcoming and stress free environment. From the candle in the reception area to the windows in the treatment rooms looking out on a garden, it feels very non-dentist like, which is actually a good thing. They addressed the issue I had come in for and didn’t try to upsell me on other unnecessary treatments. I actually found a dentist’s office that I like!”
