Dental implants are one of the most powerful ways to restore your health, appearance, and quality of life. Whether you’re dealing with missing teeth, struggling with dentures, or looking for a permanent solution to chronic dental issues, implants can offer life-changing results. But before committing to the procedure, it’s essential to ask the right questions.
At Dr. Heath Lampee’s clinic in Beaverton, Oregon, patients receive expert care backed by cutting-edge technology, in-house lab capabilities, and years of experience restoring even the most complex smiles.
Before moving forward with dental implants, it’s important to ask the right questions—ones that reveal whether your provider has the skill, technology, and experience to ensure long-term success.
1. What Are My Options for Dental Implants?
Implants aren’t a one-size-fits-all solution. Whether you need to replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or your entire upper or lower arch, your treatment should be completely personalized.
Dr. Lampee offers a range of solutions, including single implants, implant-supported bridges, and full-arch restorations. His signature Teeth in 24™ approach allows many patients to receive a full set of permanent, functional teeth in just one day. This advanced protocol is made possible thanks to his state-of-the-art in-house lab, advanced imaging tools, and experience with immediate-load implant placement.
No matter your needs, the first step is a thorough consultation and diagnostic exam, so we can design a plan that works for your goals, schedule, and lifestyle.
2. How Much Experience Does the Dentist Have With Implants?
Experience matters—especially when it comes to dental implants, which require advanced surgical training and precision. Dr. Heath Lampee is a Diplomate of the American Board of Oral Implantology, a title earned by fewer than 600 dentists worldwide. With over 20 years of experience, he has successfully treated thousands of patients and specializes in full-mouth reconstructions, including those others have deemed too complex.
Patients travel from across the Portland metro area to work with Dr. Lampee because of his ability to solve difficult cases with confidence, care, and clear communication.
3. What If I’ve Been Told I’m Not a Candidate for Implants?
Many patients come to our clinic after being told by other providers that they don’t have enough bone for dental implants. At Dr. Lampee’s practice, that’s rarely the end of the story. We specialize in advanced solutions for severe bone loss, often eliminating the need for bone grafts altogether.
Techniques include:
- Zygomatic implants, anchored into the cheekbone
- Pterygoid implants, placed behind the upper molars into dense, stable bone
- Nasal floor implants, utilizing bone at the base of the nasal cavity
- Angled implants, designed to maximize available bone structure
These techniques allow us to place implants securely and safely, even when bone loss is significant. In many cases, we can still deliver permanent teeth in just one day, using our immediate-load protocol.
4. What Technology Will Be Used During My Treatment?
Modern dental implant procedures rely heavily on advanced technology, and at Dr. Lampee’s Beaverton clinic, we’ve invested in a full suite of in-house tools to ensure precision and efficiency at every stage of treatment.
Our digital intraoral scanners allow us to capture quick, highly accurate impressions without the mess of traditional molds. With our in-house milling machine, we can design and fabricate custom restorations on-site, while the SprintRay 3D printer enables fast turnaround for crowns and bridges. We also use cone beam CT imaging to capture detailed, three-dimensional diagnostics that guide implant planning with unmatched accuracy.
Because every aspect of your care—from imaging to fabrication—happens under one roof, you benefit from fewer appointments, better-fitting restorations, and a smoother, more streamlined experience.
5. How Much Will It Cost—and What’s Included?
Dental implants are a long-term investment in your health and confidence, but they’re also a financial commitment. That’s why transparency matters.
At Dr. Lampee’s clinic, we create comprehensive treatment plans that outline exactly what’s included—no surprises, no hidden fees. We also offer flexible payment options, including third-party financing, to make care accessible for more patients.
