Our doctors specialize in the sophisticated procedure required to provide a gentle and permanent replacement for missing teeth.
When patients come to Schlueter Periodontics and Implants for a consultation, we help them discover the most appropriate treatment for their unique condition and if a dental implant is a suitable restoration option. We only use the largest, most reportable dental implant companies in the world. The results give us precision fitting components for the implants.
What is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a small titanium screw that serves as the replacement for the root portion of a missing natural tooth. Dental implants can be placed in either the upper or lower jaws. Due to the biocompatible properties of titanium, a dental implant fuses with the bone and becomes a good anchor for the replacement tooth.

Immediate Teeth in a Day with In-House 3D Printing
At Schlueter Periodontics & Implants, we’ve invested in cutting-edge 3D printing technology that allows us to create temporary teeth in-house. If you’re a candidate for same-day dental implants or the All-on-X procedure, you can walk out of our office with a beautiful smile on the very same day your implants are placed. No waiting. No goopy impressions. Just fast, precise, digitally designed results you can trust.
First, dental implant replacement teeth look, feel, and function like natural teeth. This means that you can eat and drink as you normally do. Second, dental implants often improve quality of life in a very evident way: people who have felt embarrassed and worried because of their tooth problems are often overwhelmed by what new permanent teeth can do for their self-esteem.
Dental Implant Benefits
There are many benefits to a dental implant for a missing tooth over conventional replacements or procedures:
● Dental implants help preserve your jawbone. The human jawbone maintains its integrity through proper stimulation from the roots of the teeth or dental implants. When a tooth is missing, that portion of the jawbone atrophies and wastes away. This is why denture wearers may have a “sunken” appearance.
● Dental implants help save adjacent teeth. Traditional replacements like bridges or partials permanently damage the teeth next to the missing tooth space. Dental implants are independent of the neighboring teeth and will not damage your natural look.
● Dental implants are a lifetime restoration. Properly placed and maintained dental implants typically last a lifetime. Crowns, bridges, and partial dentures only have an average lifespan of 5 to 10 years.
● Dental implants look and feel natural. Dental implants feel and function just like your own teeth, and there are no restrictions on the types of food you can eat. With dental implants, many find that they can return to eating the kinds of foods they’ve missed for years.
Dental implants can give you an internal “facelift.” Because dental implants restore the health and the density of your jawbones and your facial muscles can be used properly again, most patients notice a visible tightening of their face, helping to regain a youthful appearance.
Completely Metal-Free Zirconia Dental Implants
When a tooth is lost, the perfect replacement solution is to replace it with something that is as close to looking as the lost tooth. That is why a completely metal-free Zirconia dental implant may be the very best treatment option available.
Over the years, many health-conscious or metal-allergic patients have preferred to avoid titanium implanted in their bodies and have been asking for a metal-free solution. Now, for over a decade, the FDA approved Zirconia dental implants for use in the United States.
Unlike a lot of zirconia dental implants, the system that we use is fully metal-free, all the way down to the drills themselves. But that’s not the only advantage of a zirconia implant vs. a titanium one.
Should part of the implant become exposed, plaque retention on zirconia implants may be less, and the white color of the implants is far superior to the titanium gray color when considering cosmetics. The zirconia implant survival rate (>98%) is also comparable to its titanium counterpart.
If you are interested in this treatment option and want a fully boarded surgical dental implant specialist to place your next dental implant, please call our office to schedule an evaluation appointment and let us know you are interested in this treatment option.

I had a procedure done yesterday and I had another great experience with this provider and the staff. Holly, front desk, greeted me with her smile and compassion. Holly is the best person to represent what the practice is all about, kindness, patience and compassion. Dawn prepped me for the doctor, she expanded everything she was doing and answered all my nervous questions. Dawn is so kind, awesome and compassionate. She was there during the entire procedure talking to me and even singing softly. Dr. Schlueter came in with a cheerful good morning before he started. He was awesome. I'm so thankful I found this practice I even followed them when they moved there last year. I honestly can't even suggest and changes, they all do that great of a job. They're patient is first and foremost on all they do. Thank you!

From the moment I stepped into the office my nerves were settled. I just knew this was going to be terrible. I’ve had dental hysteria since I was a child. I’m 64 now so quite a welcomed surprise. I completely put all my trust in Dr. Schlueter. He was amazing and don’t use these words lightly. I a harsh critic. Every employee was so kind. I had a choice of three I planned to chose from. LOOK NO FURTHER, I found the best in my very first consultation. I didn’t have anyone to help choose my Dr. your lucky because you have me to eliminate some of the fears I had. I’m not worried at all about procedures done by him. Thanks Dr. Schlueter for calming 64 years of nightmares. I’m a LIFER!

10 stars!!!! Always!! Staff, hygienists and Drs at this place are EXPERTS in their field. I am a high maintenance patient, a 59 year old, and they make me feel safe and comfortable. I don’t cry anymore 🎉. My insurance helps pay for it because I have periodontal disease which must be treated to save my teeth. I highly recommend them for whatever periodontic issue you have or even just routine cleaning! I have had scaling treatments, gum graft, and I am pleased - my gums are much healthier- I even had a loose tooth that firmed up!! I prefer this office over my regular hygienist, so I come here for extra cleanings even if it is an out of pocket cost. The hygienists here are experts in cleaning at the gum line and in between and are careful to my sensitive areas. My Dr is Dr Schlueter, but I have met both providers, and they are kind and personable. I was taught me how to clean my teeth better and I am so thankful my dentist referred me here. I have been going here for several years. The staff are professional, respectful and empathetic 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟#keepyourteeth.

So grateful and thankful for Schlueter Periodontists and Implants for their kindness and support during my journey in and out of their office. Staff are professional and courteous during decision time and with help making appointments work with you. We all have our story for why we need a periodontist. I’ve never had anyone tell me, “You have pretty teeth.” Now I have. I am definitely grateful for the work they did.

Dr. Schleuter and his staff are great. So far I’ve had two appointments with them, a referral/exam consultation and then my gum graft procedure. I have several follow up appointments to come. I had 3 areas/4 teeth done, and the procedure was very smooth. Him and his staff are very friendly and make you feel comfortable. I highly recommend them!

Dr Schlueter was very patient and thorough with me. He took the time to explain in detail, the 3 options available to me for my implant repair and bone loss rejuvenation. Compliments to my dental hygienist Meaghan, she was awesome! Very skilled, thorough, friendly and efficient. She put me at ease with her confidence. I was a little nervous going into my deep cleaning but the entire procedure was pain free during and the next day after the procedure.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Schlueter. After dealing with a failed implant and bone loss from previous treatment elsewhere, he immediately identified the issue and created a clear plan to fix it. His expertise and attention to detail gave me so much peace of mind. The entire staff was amazing and kind. I’m extremely grateful I found this practice.

After my former periodontist retired I came to Schlueter Periodontal. That was 20+ years ago and I have always been extremely happy with the service and care I have received. I can testify not all periodontal doctors are the same and Dr. Schlueter has taken great care of me.
