Our Custom Dental Implant Solutions
Single Tooth
If you’re missing a tooth, we’ll use a single dental implant to replace it. This consists of a titanium implant fixture, a connecting piece called an abutment, and a natural-looking porcelain crown.
Multiple Teeth
For patients who are missing multiple teeth that are adjacent to each other, Dr. Klym will use a dental bridge to replace them. bridges can be secured with implants instead of relying on surrounding teeth for support.
Full Arch
We can even replace one or both arches of your teeth. Dr. Klym will use four to six dental implants to secure an entire row of restorations. Full arch replacements are a long-lasting, secure alternative to dentures.
3 Reasons Our
Process Stands Out
- Our staff has extensive training and education — After receiving his degree, Dr. Klym went on to obtain extended education from some of the best dentists in the industry. This has allowed him to effectively teach and lead his staff as well.
- We offer a wide variety of treatments — Our implant solutions are customized to fit each patient’s dental needs. Whether you need to increase bone mass with supplemental procedures or have damaged teeth extracted before implant placement, we’ll restore your smile as efficiently as possible.
- Receive Complete Implant Care — We believe the dental implant process should be as convenient for you as possible. That’s why every step of the process is completed right here in our office. This eliminates the hassle of visiting multiple dentists and speeds up the process as well.

Technology
Here at our Petoskey office, we’ll provide you with high-quality implants by using the most advanced technology. From digital X-rays to placing your implants, these devices allow Dr. Klym to provide you with accurate and precise results.
He uses his CBCT “cone-beam” scanner to get clear, 3D images of your entire jaw. This will help him determine where to place your implants and what your end results will look like.
During the procedure, a high-tech Wand® will be used to provide you with anesthesia. This eliminates the need for painful needles and reduces excessive numbness in the areas surrounding your teeth.

Are dental implants right for me?
Dental implants have earned the title of the gold standard of restorative dentistry for their unique ability to replace a tooth from crown to root. Because they mimic tooth roots, dental implant fixtures actively prevent jawbone deterioration and shifting teeth. Dr. Klym recommends dental implant restorations to patients looking to restore any number of missing teeth.
However, patients must have healthy gums and sufficient jawbone density to be eligible for implant placement. Without a strong foundation for the implant fixture, complications may arise. The only way to know if dental implants are right for you and if you’re an ideal candidate is by scheduling a consultation with our expert implant dentist in Petoskey, MI.
What are my tooth restoration options?
At the Petoskey office of Dr. Klym, we offer a variety of dental implant options for your convenience. We can provide single, multiple, and full arch restorations, each created with your individual needs in mind. No matter which option you decide on, our dentist will ensure it looks and functions just like natural teeth.
Is the dental implant procedure painful?
Receiving dental implants is a virtually painless experience. During the procedure, you’ll be under local anesthesia and won’t feel a thing. If you suffer from dental phobia or anxiety, we also offer IV sedation to ensure your procedure is relaxing and stress-free.
One of our team members will closely monitor you throughout the procedure to ensure you’re comfortable. Following the operation, you may experience some discomfort, but it can be easily managed with over-the-counter pain and cold compresses to help with any swelling.
Will insurance cover dental implants?
Dental implants are considered a cosmetic procedure with some restorative purposes, and some providers may only cover up to half of the costs. We recommend that you check with your dental insurance provider prior to your appointment for a better understanding of your plan’s coverage. We’ll also help you file your insurance claim to ensure you’re getting the most out of your benefits.
You can also visit our financing page for more information on our accepted forms of payment and insurance, as well as how to apply for assistance through CareCredit.
