At Dentofacial & Cosmetic Surgery Institute, we understand many people feel anxious just thinking about visiting an oral surgeon. Dr. Hashemian gets many referrals from general dentists, who typically send digital X-rays and limited clinical information. Before or during your first visit, we’ll ask you to complete an entire medical history, including details on drug allergies, previous surgeries, and current health conditions.
Dr. Hashemian will visually inspect your mouth, teeth, gums, and jaw to better understand your oral health situation. A cone-beam computed tomography scanner captures highly accurate 3D views of your jaws, teeth, and facial bones along with cross-sectional (buccolingual), axial, coronal, sagittal, cephalometric, and panoramic views. After Dr. Hashemian diagnoses, he’ll discuss treatment options, answer your questions, and review anesthesia options, including general anesthesia.
Full mouth dental implants are anchored in your jawbone and fuse with your underlying bone in osseointegration. They restore function on par with your natural teeth, so you won’t have to worry about what’s on the menu, nightly removal, or messy denture adhesives. Several different streamlined full arch dental implant protocols enable fitting patients with temporary new teeth the same day as surgery.
With the All-on-4 to 6 or All-on-X technique, dental implants are strategically placed in areas of your mouth with the healthiest bone, bypassing bone grafting most of the time. Full mouth dental implants can last a lifetime with proper oral hygiene and professional dental care, making them a great investment in your future health and happiness!
As you age, your skin loses elasticity, leading to wrinkled and sagging skin, shifting or disappearing fat deposits, jowls in cheeks and jaws, and a double chin or turkey neck. A facelift (rhytidectomy) provides a more youthful appearance by tightening facial skin and muscles while removing excess skin.
Dr. Hashemian will evaluate your medical records and perform a consultation to assess your fitness level for facelift surgery and anesthesia. At our state-of-the-art surgical facility, a rhytidectomy can be performed under IV sedation or general anesthesia. Depending on the desired result and whether additional cosmetic procedures are performed simultaneously, this can take up to five hours.
As a medical doctor and oral surgeon specializing in oral, facial, and neck anatomy, Dr. Hashemian is uniquely qualified to perform various facial aesthetic procedures. Extensive education and training in surgical procedures of the soft (skin and muscle) and hard tissue (bone and cartilage) gave him a deep understanding of the harmonious relationship between facial appearance and function.
Due to advancements in surgical techniques, many cosmetic facial procedures at Dentofacial & Cosmetic Surgery Institute can be performed on an outpatient basis in Spring Hill, Lecanto, Land O’ Lakes, and Clearwater, FL.
A dental implant comprises three parts—a titanium or ceramic post, an abutment, and a restoration. Built to function like natural tooth roots, dental implants provide bone support and a stable foundation for a single dental crown, a dental bridge, a denture, or a full arch prosthesis.
Many patients are already candidates for dental implants or can qualify after receiving preparatory treatments like bone grafting and tooth extractions. Candidacy is more accurately determined after comprehensive consultation and evaluation with an implant dentist.
The cost of dental implants is based on many factors, including how many teeth are missing and for how long, the materials used, and what additional procedures are needed. Our team can help you apply for dental financing and will file insurance claims on your behalf to help you afford treatment.
Dental implant treatment can range from a few months to over a year. In many cases, implants can be surgically placed soon after the consultation and treatment plan are complete. For patients needing bone grafting, this may be a separate procedure requiring several months of healing before dental implant surgery. After dental implants are placed, healing can take 3+ months before optimal integration is achieved, and a final restoration can be permanently attached. In many cases, patients can wear a temporary restoration during healing.
Dental implants are designed to last decades and potentially the rest of your life. Surgical technology, clinical experience, and your health habits ultimately affect the longevity of your implants. Choosing an experienced implant team like ours provides more precise and accurate surgery that better guarantees the long-term success of your treatment.
