● i-CAT® Cone Beam 3D Dental Imaging System allows us to get a complete picture of the patient’s underlying bone and tissue when evaluating for dental implants.
● This state-of-the-art-technology shows a detailed, 3-dimensional cross section of the area being scanned offering the highest level of surgical predictability, resulting in successful surgical outcomes for patients.
● A quick and easy 20-second scan produces the most anatomically accurate 3-D images of the mouth, face, and jaw.
● Within minutes of the 3D scan, we are able to map an entire course of treatment from surgical placement of the implant and abutment, all the way to final restoration. We can thus offer our patients an immediate virtual diagnosis and treatment plan-all in one visit.
A dental implant is a small titanium screw that serves as the replacement for the root portion of a missing natural tooth. Dental implants can be placed in either the upper or lower jaws. Due to the biocompatible properties of titanium, a dental implant fuses with the bone and becomes a good anchor for the replacement tooth. Dental implants can be used in solutions for replacing single or multiple missing teeth.
Many people who consider implants have removable, conventional dentures for lower and upper jaws, or have removable bridges. These people experience a significant improvement in their ability to chew food comfortably after their dental implant treatment.
At the first appointment, we use 3D Cone Beam Imaging to determine if the jaw bone is adequate to hold the titanium posts.
Within minutes of the 3D CT Scan, we are able to offer patients an immediate virtual diagnosis and treatment plan-all in one visit.
Treatment with dental implants requires meticulous planning for best results.
When the permanent crown is ready (1-2 weeks normally), the temporary crowns are replaced.
A surgical procedure is required (using local anesthetic and sedative) in which precision channels are created in the jawbone, often using a surgical guide. The implants are then fitted into the sites so that they are in contact with the bone. They generally require two to six months to fuse to the bone before they can have tooth restorations attached to them to complete the process.
Immediately – at the same time an implant is placed (or after a period of healing), an abutment is attached to the implant. This is a device that “abuts” or joins the implant to a tooth form called a crown, which replaces the tooth part you see in the mouth.
The custom crown is cemented or screwed onto the abutment to permanently keep it in place and should be indistinguishable from your natural teeth.
When the permanent crown is ready (1-2 weeks normally), the temporary crowns are replaced.
Dental implant-supported replacement teeth look, feel and function like natural teeth. This means that you can eat and drink whatever you choose. But most importantly, dental implants improve quality of life in a very concrete way. People who have felt embarrassed and worried because of their tooth problems are often overwhelmed by what new permanent teeth can do for their self-esteem.

I have been a patient of Dr. Khan for the past several years and I am glad and happy to write this review. He is one of the few doctors in the field of Medical Dentistry, especially in implants, to be the greatest. He possesses a great, substantial expertise in dental implants; and his illustrious and notable dealing with the patient is very special and deserves to be applauded and complimented. Dr. Khan is not looking after the revenue, but patient satisfaction and performance as per the needs, are his primary goals. I have several issues pertaining to my case, which was masterfully and artistically completed to my satisfaction by Dr. Khan. The front office staff is very wonderful, accommodating, and show flexibility in scheduling, even if they are busy at times. In my opinion, I felt as though my choice of selecting Dr. Khan as my dentist has given me satisfaction beyond my expectations. I would endorse Dr. Khan as a superb doctor, dentist, and a compassionate professional.
Dr. Khan did a great job with my dental implants. He was very gentle and attentive. My smile looks amazing now! All of his staff are friendly and caring. I would definitely recommend Mr. Khan to my friends and family.
Researching on line implants, crowns and other dental care, I came across Dr Khan's Web Site. Checking the reviews, I found 75 reviews, all 5 STARS!!! Amazing. I made an appoint and am now his patient. Everything in the reviews are true! Not only a great doctor, but the staff is also exceptionally good. I have total confidence in this office...we now have a plan for my dental care. Beyond my expectations.
I went to Dr. Khan for a tooth extraction and implant after cracking my tooth on a popcorn kernel. Dr. Khan and his staff are exceedingly kind and helpful, and his office is very well-organized. Even after I lost my retainer he replaced it with no extra charge, which is particularly exceptional given his rates are lower than any others I found. I don't like getting dental work, but this was the least unpleasant complex dental procedure I've ever had. Can't recommend him highly enough!
I did a lot of research when it comes to dental implants professional . and dr Khan was my ultimate choice after meeting with him during my free consultation appointment. he was very knowledgeable and didn't try to sell me anything i didnt go in for. i got my tree implants procedure done from the beginning until he was sure it was 100% successful and took extra time to make sure i will be happy with the results as well. i highly recommend dr. Khan for any dental procedure you are in need
Super wonderful dentist and staff! Dr Khan made me feel comfortable on my very 1st visit. Such a great comforting personality and sweet chairside manners. I've had upper and lower implants done and even though these are just my temporary teeth they are gorgeous! In the fall I will have the permanent ones! I am looking forward to my beautiful permanent teeth! You guys are super!
Had major work done including implants. Experience was great compared to previous dentists I've been to. Staff is very friendly and efficient. I'm very happy to have found this dentist.
Professional and Gentle describe the experience you have at Dr. Khan's dental office. The staff is friendly and ready to serve. The Doctor created a plan of care for my teeth so that I may keep them long into my old age - and I appreciate that! The office is open and airy and clean. It is a pleasure to go for my cleanings and for any work that needs to be done on my teeth. Fear not the dentist!
