Dental Surgeon — Implants, Oral Surgery, Restorations
Expert Implant Care Under One Roof
At Kirkland Premier Dentistry, your dental implant is planned and placed by Dr. Gaurav Sharma, an experienced dental surgeon with specialized training in implant placement and oral surgery. Working alongside Dr. Udey Wirring, our prosthodontist, every implant case is handled from surgical placement through final restoration — all under one roof.
We use 3D cone beam CT imaging to map the exact position of every implant before surgery begins. This digital planning process means shorter procedures, faster healing, and more predictable results compared to freehand placement.
Whether you need a single implant to replace one missing tooth or a full-arch solution like All-on-4, our team has the expertise and technology to deliver results that look and feel completely natural.
“I had my dental implant by Dr. Gaurav Sharma. I did not feel any pain during procedure and almost no swelling or discomfort afterwards. The entire team was caring and welcoming.”

Your Implant Journey — Step by Step
3D Consultation
We take CBCT scans to map your bone density, nerve positions, and anatomy. You'll see a digital plan of exactly where each implant will be placed.
Implant Placement
The titanium post is surgically placed into your jawbone with precision guided by our digital plan. Sedation is available for complete comfort.
Healing & Integration
Over 3-6 months, the implant fuses with your bone (osseointegration). You'll wear a temporary restoration so you're never without a tooth.
Final Crown
A custom porcelain crown is color-matched and shaped to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. The result is virtually indistinguishable.
Benefits Over Bridges & Dentures
Preserve Jawbone Health
Implants replace the tooth root, stimulating the bone and preventing the deterioration and facial changes that follow tooth loss.
Protect Healthy Teeth
Unlike bridges, implants stand independently — no grinding down neighboring teeth to anchor a restoration.
Eat Anything, Confidently
Fixed permanently in your jaw. No slipping, clicking, or adhesives. Bite into an apple, eat steak — live without restrictions.
Built to Last a Lifetime
The titanium post can last forever with proper care. The crown lasts 15-25 years — significantly longer than bridges or dentures.
Am I a Candidate?
Most healthy adults are good candidates. Ideal candidates have sufficient jawbone density, healthy gums, and are committed to good oral hygiene.
If bone loss is a concern, procedures like bone grafting or sinus lifts can rebuild the foundation needed for a successful implant. Conditions like diabetes or smoking may affect healing but don't automatically disqualify you.
The best way to find out? Schedule a consultation. We'll review your 3D scans, discuss your options, and give you an honest recommendation.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do dental implants last?
With proper oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, dental implants can last a lifetime. The titanium post fuses permanently with your jawbone, and the porcelain crown on top typically lasts 15 to 25 years before it may need replacement due to normal wear.
Am I a candidate for dental implants?
Most adults with good overall health are candidates for dental implants. You need adequate jawbone density to support the implant, but if bone loss has occurred, bone grafting can often rebuild the foundation. During your consultation at our Kirkland office, we will evaluate your bone structure with 3D imaging and discuss all of your options.
Is the dental implant procedure painful?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, and sedation options are available for added comfort. Most patients report that the discomfort after surgery is less than they expected, similar to having a tooth extracted. Over-the-counter pain medication is usually sufficient during the healing period.
How long does the full implant process take?
From initial placement to the final crown, the process typically takes three to six months. Most of that time is the healing period during which the implant fuses with your jawbone, a process called osseointegration. During this time you will wear a temporary restoration so you are never without a tooth.
How do dental implants compare to bridges or dentures?
Unlike bridges, implants do not require grinding down healthy adjacent teeth. Unlike removable dentures, implants are fixed in place, do not slip, and preserve jawbone density by stimulating the bone the way a natural tooth root does. Implants also have a significantly longer lifespan than either alternative.
