KNOW YOUR OPTIONS
Why Patients Choose Implants Over Dentures
Dentures can help short-term. A fixed implant, including cheekbone or back-of-jaw implants when upper-jaw bone is gone, is the upgrade most patients wish they'd found sooner.
Traditional Dentures
The short-term fix
- ✕Slip or shift while eating and speaking
- ✕Need frequent adjustments and replacements
- ✕Don't stop the bone loss in your jaw
- ✕Can cause sore spots and irritation
The permanent upgrade
- ✓Stay fixed in place so you can eat and speak with confidence
- ✓Look and feel like natural teeth
- ✓Help protect against further bone loss
- ✓Cheekbone or back-of-jaw implants when the upper jaw is too thin
WHEN UPPER-JAW BONE ISN'T ENOUGH
Told You Don't Have Enough Bone?
Cheekbone and back-of-jaw implants are why patients turned away somewhere else can still get a fixed smile.
Conventional implants need enough bone in the jaw. When the upper jaw is too thin, many offices recommend months of grafting or say you are not a candidate. Dr. Gendler can place zygomatic implants in the cheekbone, a dense bone that stays strong after teeth are lost, and pterygoid implants toward the back of the upper jaw. In many cases that means a full arch of new teeth without a major bone graft.
- ✓For people told they cannot have implants because of bone loss in the upper jaw
- ✓Zygomatic implants: anchored in the cheekbone instead of a thin upper jaw
- ✓Pterygoid implants: longer implants at the back of the upper jaw when bone there is gone
- ✓Often no major bone graft, and fewer surgeries than a graft-first plan
- ✓Planned on a 3D CT scan so placement is mapped before surgery
- ✓A temporary fixed bridge the same day in many cases, including after failed implants
Dr. Gendler has been placing zygomatic implants for years and completed hands-on advanced training in five to six countries. If another dentist said you don't qualify, this is the consult to book.

- ✓Minor bone grafting when it helps support the implants
- ✓A year of professional maintenance in our office
- ✓A water flosser to care for your new teeth at home
- ✓A night guard to protect your new smile

Want to sleep through surgery? We arrange IV sedation with a separate anesthesia team, and you pay them directly. Nitrous or oral sedation can be done in our office.
Dr. Joseph Gendler
General dentist
Dentists and dental surgeons can replace a missing tooth with an implant. No one specialty focuses on dental implants, so it is worth looking for advanced training and credentialing.
Two organizations identify that deeper focus, experience, and training: the American Academy of Implant Dentistry (AAID) and the American Board of Oral Implantology/Implant Dentistry (ABOI). When a dentist is recognized by them, it shows a higher focus, skill, and ability in dental implants.
Dr. Joseph Gendler is a general dentist, an AAID Associate Fellow, an AAID Fellow, and an ABOI Diplomate. He is one of the few with all three, and the only one in the Twin Cities.
IN THEIR OWN WORDS
Smiles That Changed Everything
Hear from patients who stopped hiding their smile, including people who were told they didn't have enough bone.
I put this off for years. I kept telling myself it was too expensive or too complicated. Getting it done was the best decision I ever made. My mouth feels completely different and I finally eat without thinking twice.
Once I healed I could eat everything. Apples, corn on the cob, nuts. My confidence came back in a big way. I would recommend going the fixed route to absolutely anyone. It changed everything for me.
The way I feel now compared to before is night and day. My self-confidence went through the roof. I actually smile with my teeth now. I enjoy life so much more.
I'll walk into rooms without covering my mouth. I'll order whatever I want and actually enjoy every bite. I'll look in the mirror and love what I see. I'll stop skipping photos, dinners, and the moments that matter. This is the version of me I've been waiting for.
