Dental Implants in Savannah, GA
Dental implants provide a long-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth and restoring confidence in your smile. At Compass Dental, Dr. Charles Fana uses dental implants to create secure, natural-looking results that help you eat, speak, and smile comfortably.
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are a permanent tooth replacement option designed to restore both the appearance and function of missing teeth. A small titanium post is placed into the jawbone, where it acts as a secure foundation for a custom restoration. This approach provides stability similar to natural teeth while helping maintain jawbone health. At Compass Dental, Dr. Fana carefully plans each implant case based on your oral health, bone structure, and personal goals. Our focus is on natural-looking results that support long-term oral health and everyday comfort.
The benefits of dental implants
Dental implants are one of the most reliable and long-lasting solutions for tooth replacement.
Natural look and feel
Implants are designed to function like natural teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Long-term durability
Dental Implants are designed to last a lifetime. With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can replace teeth and function for decades.
Bone health support
By stimulating the jawbone, implants help prevent bone loss and support long-term facial structure.
Our dental implant treatments
Single Tooth Implants
Single tooth implants replace a missing tooth without impacting neighboring teeth. The implant supports a custom crown that blends seamlessly with your smile while restoring strength and function. This option also helps maintain bone health in the area of the missing tooth. Single tooth implants offer a stable, long-lasting solution.
Full-Mouth Implants
Full-mouth dental implants, also known as All-on-4 or All-on-6, provide the most aesthetic and lifelike solution for those missing all of their teeth. With precision implant placement and custom-made restorations, this approach restores both function and confidence in your smile. Enjoy a permanent solution that requires no removal at night and provides a natural, secure fit.
Implant-Supported Bridges
Implant-supported bridges replace multiple missing teeth using implants for support rather than natural teeth. This approach provides a comfortable, lasting solution to replace several missing teeth in the same area of the mouth. The result is a strong, functional restoration that looks natural and helps prevent shifting of surrounding teeth.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures provide a more secure alternative to traditional removable dentures. By anchoring the denture to implants, this option improves stability, comfort, and chewing ability. Many patients enjoy increased confidence and reduced irritation. Implant-supported dentures help restore both function and quality of life.
The dental implants process
Consultation and evaluation
Your implant journey begins with a comprehensive consultation and exam with Dr. Fana. He will evaluate your oral health, bone structure, and goals to determine whether dental implants are the right solution.
Implant placement
The implant is carefully placed into the jawbone using precise techniques. Over time, the implant integrates with the bone, creating a strong and stable foundation for your restoration.
Restoration and final results
Once healing is complete, a custom restoration is attached to the implant. The final result is a natural-looking, fully functional replacement that blends seamlessly with your smile.

Frequently asked questions
Below are answers to some of the most common questions we hear from patients.
With proper care, dental implants can last many years—often decades. Maintaining good oral hygiene, attending regular dental checkups, and avoiding habits like smoking can significantly improve the longevity and success of your implants.
Most healthy adults with sufficient jawbone are good candidates for dental implants. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your oral health, review your medical history, and take imaging to determine if implants are the right option for you. If needed, procedures like bone grafting can help prepare the area.
Most patients are surprised at how comfortable the procedure is. Dental implants are placed using local anesthesia, and additional comfort options may be available if needed. Mild soreness after the procedure is normal and can typically be managed with over-the-counter medication and proper aftercare.
