Dr. Denes’ Background and Training
Dr. Alex Denes graduated from the University of Medicine School of Dentistry in Bucharest, Romania in 1994 and obtained a license to practice dentistry in the United States from the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry in San Francisco, CA in 2000. He has over 20 years of experience in multiple phases of dentistry, including gum surgery, bone grafting, dental implant placement, and implant-supported restorations. Dr. Denes is also certified to administer oral conscious sedation to provide patients optimal comfort throughout their treatment.
He is passionate about participating in continuing education courses each year in order to provide the latest techniques and methods in treating his patients. Within the past year, he has completed over 100 hours of continuing education courses, including courses from the Global Institute for Dental Education in Los Angeles, CA. Dr. Denes uses state-of-the-art materials and techniques, including CAD/CAM computer technology and cone beam CT scans to create a personalized treatment plan, precise dental implant placement, and customized restorations.
The Dental Implant Procedure
During your consultation with Dr. Denes, he will use the latest in dental technology to review the health of your teeth, gums, and jawbone in order to determine if you are a good candidate for dental implants. He will also take the time to listen to your overall health and cosmetic goals to create a treatment plan tailored to your unique desires, carefully covering the procedural steps, postsurgical instructions, and costs involved. At Fresno Dental Studio, we provide a variety of implants, including:
- Single Implants and Implant-Supported Crowns: For patients with isolated tooth loss.
- Implant-Retained Bridges: For patients with one to three adjacent missing teeth.
- Implant-Supported Overdentures: For patients missing an entire row of teeth in their upper and/or lower jaw.
- All-on-4 Dental Implants: For patients with inadequate jawbone strength who are unable to qualify for traditional dental implants. This implant system can support a full arch denture with just four dental implants.
On the day of the procedure, Dr. Denes will administer anesthesia to make you as comfortable as possible. He will then strategically insert the implant posts into your jawbone and apply the necessary sutures. You will then be sent home with careful instructions to follow to ensure you achieve successful osseointegration. This four to six month healing period is crucial to the overall dental implant process. Once the implant posts have successfully fused with your jawbone, Dr. Denes will attach the abutments to your implant posts and take the necessary impressions of your smile to create your customized restoration. We work closely with a laboratory of specialists to fabricate your device. Once completed, Dr. Denes will attach your restoration to the abutments, restoring the function and aesthetics back to your smile.
