Dental Implants in Meridian, ID, Serving Boise and the Treasure Valley

Yes, with some added precautions during healing. Patients who cut back on smoking around the time of surgery tend to heal faster and see better long-term results.

It's solvable in most cases. Depending on how much bone you've lost, we can rebuild it with bone grafting or place zygomatic implants that anchor in the cheekbone instead of the jaw. Zygomatic implants (AKA “remote anchorage”) are an advanced procedure that most offices don’t offer. Our doctors are the leading experts in this treatment, and teach remote anchorage procedures to other dentists.

Not quite. That's one of the more common myths in the industry. Implants are a long-term investment, not a zero-maintenance one. They still need the same daily brushing, flossing, and regular checkups as natural teeth.

Yes, you should have hygiene appointments every six months, just like you would with natural teeth. Dental Implant Solutions is one of the few implant dentists that offer a full hygiene program in our office!

A single-tooth implant replaces one missing tooth with its own post and crown. Full-mouth (All-on-X) implants use as few as four posts to support an entire arch. Which one fits you depends on how many teeth are missing and your jawbone health, something we assess at a consultation.

These are longer implants anchored in the cheekbone or pterygoid bone instead of the jaw, built for patients who don't have enough jawbone for traditional implants and want to avoid extensive bone grafting. Dr. Stackowicz specializes in these techniques, making full-arch implants possible for patients other practices may have turned away.

Usually, yes. Immediate implants let us place the post right after extraction, sometimes with a temporary crown attached the same day, so you're not left waiting between procedures.

We offer flexible financing so treatment can be spread over time instead of paid upfront. Some patients also choose to pair financing with other resources, like staging treatment in phases. We'll walk through your specific options with you at your consultation!

Dentures are the best option when they’re the only option. Compared to implants, they're higher maintenance and can slip or require adhesive. For patients missing several teeth, implants offer a more stable, longer-lasting result. We'll give you a straight answer on which is right for you rather than pushing one option.

Yes. We regularly see patients from across the Treasure Valley, including Boise, Nampa, Caldwell, Eagle, and Star, who come to us specifically for implant cases other providers weren't able to handle.
