Expert Dental Implant Placement

Dr. Sam Bakuri offers a wide range of dental implant services, ranging from single tooth replacements to full-mouth teeth replacement in a one-day procedure with TeethToday®.

Experience You Can Trust

Dr. Bakuri is a board-certified periodontist and dental implant specialist. He has helped thousands of patients regain their smiles, chewing power and confidence with dental implants. His in-depth knowledge of the structures that support your teeth—the gums and bone—allows him to accurately assess your oral health and ensure the best possible outcomes for dental implant placement.

Options For Teeth Replacement Using Implants

Dental implants are the most stable and natural tooth replacement option available. Implants are anchored in the jaw and provide a more permanent alternative to a dental bridge or dentures. The doctors at Greater Pittsburgh Dental Implants & Periodontics have several implant options for replacing missing or failing teeth and will help you choose the best solution to fit your goals.

    “Dr. Blum was very helpful explaining the processes involved with getting an implant. I’m a very fearful dental patient—he helped me to be relaxed and helped me with my anxiety. The practice has a professional environment and very competent staff. My implant has been very successful and was done with the minimum amount of visits.”

    “My experience was very positive. From the moment I walked in the office, the staff were very friendly, welcoming and courteous. They made me feel welcomed and were very concerned that I got the best treatment, and that I was happy with the end results. They paid special attention to my needs. It’s a special place. It’s very clean, and the dentists and staff treated me like family. The entire dental team is great. They have state-of-the-art equipment with 3D technology to prepare for implants. The surgeon did a great job, and they made sure the prosthetics were properly made and fit well. I came in with missing teeth and old, ill-fitting dentures. Now, I have more confidence in my smile, and my mouth even feels healthier.”

    “The condition of my teeth, and my mouth in general, was very bad. I went to several dentists and didn’t get a solution for all my problems—until I went here. They found the best way to solve the many dental problems I’d had for years. They did gum surgery, dental implants, crowns and all the necessary procedures with the best possible results. They made a miracle. I have a clean, very comfortable and nice-looking mouth now, and I can eat anything.”
