Bone Grafting & Regeneration
Restoring width and height where bone has been lost, using techniques such as PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) to support natural healing.
Wayland & Watertown, MA
Some dental implant cases need more than a routine approach. They need a treatment plan built around structure, biology, function, and the final smile from the very beginning.
At D’Amico Dental Care, we provide advanced dental implant treatment for patients who need a higher level of planning and execution — including cases involving bone loss, previous implant problems, sinus lift procedures, bone grafting, or full-arch rehabilitation.
Using 3D imaging, digital planning, and guided surgery, every step is designed to support a stable, natural-looking, long-term result.
Candidacy
You may benefit from advanced implant treatment if you:
These cases are not unusual in implant dentistry. They simply require a more structured level of diagnosis and treatment design.
Our Approach
At D’Amico Dental Care, implant treatment begins long before the day of surgery. We plan each case from the final result backwards.
That means the future teeth, bite, gum line, and long-term stability are considered first — and every surgical decision is built to support that outcome.
This prosthetically driven approach is especially valuable in cases involving:
With digital planning, CBCT imaging, and surgical guides, implant placement becomes more precise, more controlled, and more predictable.
Bone & Tissue
A successful dental implant requires a strong biological foundation. When bone volume or gum tissue has been lost over time, standard implant placement is often not enough.
At D’Amico Dental Care we don’t simply place implants into compromised areas — we rebuild the architecture of the jaw first. Combining 3D diagnostics with regenerative techniques creates the conditions needed for lasting stability.
Depending on the demands of your anatomy, your treatment plan may integrate:
Restoring width and height where bone has been lost, using techniques such as PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) to support natural healing.
Safely creating vertical space in the upper jaw, so patients previously told they “lacked bone” can be considered for fixed implants.
Shaping the surrounding gum tissue for a natural, seamless result — and for biological protection against future infection.
The goal is never just to create space. It is to build the biological environment a new smile needs in order to last.
Full-Arch Solutions
For patients with extensive tooth loss or failing dentition, full-arch implant rehabilitation can be genuinely life changing when it is done properly.
We provide All-on-4 and All-on-6 implant solutions for suitable candidates, with a clear distinction between marketing promises and clinical reality.
Our approach is centered on:
All-on-4 and All-on-6 are not interchangeable. The correct choice depends on bone availability, functional demands, bite forces, and the long-term prognosis of each individual case.
By evaluating every patient individually, we make sure the selected treatment supports durability, comfort, and ease of care — not just speed or short-term convenience.


What Sets Us Apart
Patients looking for a higher level of implant care choose D’Amico Dental Care because the process is built around clarity, precision, and long-term thinking.
Each case is assessed with 3D imaging and designed in full before surgery begins.
The future teeth guide the surgical plan — not the other way around.
Bone grafting, sinus lift procedures, revision treatment, and full-arch rehabilitation are all part of the clinical scope.
Implant design and restorative components matter, especially in more demanding cases.
Timelines, treatment stages, and costs are explained clearly from the beginning.
Implant treatment does not end on the day of placement. Ongoing review supports durability and peace of mind.
Patient Reviews
I like it, the place is clean, you can make yourself a coffee to wait, my boyfriend got an implant and the professionalism was excellent, I have no complaints about it, the doctor’s work was impeccable and we were given a term to pay $5000
It’s very easy for me to recommend D’Amico after years of excellent care. In fact I did refer a friend recently and she can’t say enough about what they did for her. She went in for a second opinion and ended up with a better solution that was less costly.
Honestly this place has such amazing staff, very trustworthy. I generally would be terrified of the things I have coming up, but with the level of care and sense of understanding I got, I’m more excited about it since I know it’s for the best and I can trust them. Highly recommend for sure! Thank you D’Amico!
D’Amico Dental offers excellent, timely, friendly, and professional services. I received an excellent dental comprehensive evaluation from Dr. Chris D’Amico. I also received an excellent cleaning three days after. Personally, I would highly recommend D’Amico Dental!
D’Amico dental is awesome! I have been a patient for over 20 years. We now live on Cape Cod and continue to travel to Watertown. I feel very fortunate that I have Dr. D’Amico taking care of my teeth.

Implants are a long-term investment, and we treat them that way.

Investment in Your Smile
Advanced implant treatment may involve several stages, depending on the condition of the bone, gums, bite, and final restorative plan.
For that reason, every patient receives a clear, itemized treatment plan after the diagnostic phase. It may include:
Clarity is part of good treatment design. You should always understand what is being planned, why it is recommended, and how each phase contributes to the final result.
D’Amico Dental Care is an out-of-network practice and does not bill insurance directly. Flexible payment options are available and are discussed openly during planning. See our Oral Health Savings Plan for details.

Questions & Answers
Yes, in many cases you can. Bone loss does not automatically rule out dental implant treatment.
Depending on the location and volume of available bone, treatment may include bone grafting, sinus lift procedures, or a strategically planned implant approach. The best way to know is through a proper clinical assessment with 3D imaging.
A second opinion can be very valuable. Some patients are told implant treatment is not possible when the case simply requires a more advanced planning approach.
That may involve additional bone support, different implant positioning, or a more appropriate full-arch concept. A detailed assessment clarifies what options are realistically available.
In many cases, yes. The first step is understanding why the previous implant did not perform as expected.
Once the bone, bite, tissue condition, and implant position have been properly evaluated, a revised treatment plan can often be designed on a stronger foundation.
An implant case may require a more advanced approach when it includes one or more of the following: reduced bone volume, upper jaw anatomical limitations, previous implant treatment, full-arch rehabilitation, demanding aesthetic requirements, soft tissue support needs, or complex bite conditions.
These cases benefit from more detailed diagnostics, digital planning, and experienced execution.
Both are full-arch implant treatment concepts, but they are not identical. All-on-4 supports a fixed arch on four implants; All-on-6 uses six, which can distribute bite forces across more support points.
The right choice depends on bone support, bite forces, prosthetic design, and long-term maintenance goals. This decision should always be based on individual assessment rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Treatment time varies from one case to another. Some cases move directly to implant placement, while others benefit from a staged approach that lets the bone or surrounding structures develop ideal support first.
Your treatment timeline is explained clearly during the planning phase, so you know what to expect at each step.
Natural-looking implant treatment begins with correct planning. We plan each case from the final restoration backwards, considering smile design, gum contour, bite function, tooth proportion, and facial balance before the implant is placed.
That is what allows the final result to feel integrated, refined, and natural.
The cost depends on the clinical situation and the type of treatment required. Factors include the number of implants, whether bone grafting or sinus lift treatment is needed, temporary restorations, whether the case is full-arch or single/multiple implants, and the final restorative materials.
After your consultation you receive a detailed treatment plan with a transparent fee breakdown. D’Amico Dental Care is an out-of-network practice and offers flexible payment options.
For a procedure as involved as full-arch implant treatment, the deciding factor is usually the precision of the result rather than the distance to the office.
Patients regularly travel to our Wayland and Watertown offices from surrounding MetroWest and Greater Boston communities because they are looking for a digitally planned, specialist-led workflow rather than the nearest available appointment.
