Legendary figures are often remembered for their teeth, from George Washington’s fabled wooden smile to Mona Lisa’s unmistakable overbite. Ensure a memorable grin with today’s Groupon: for $1,499, you get a dental-implant package at 6th Avenue Periodontics & Implant Dentistry (a $3,250 value). The package includes:

• A dental implant (a $2,300 value)
• An abutment (a $700 value)
• A panoramic x-ray (a $175 value)
• An initial exam (a $75 value)
  
  

Specializing in implant dentistry, Dr. Roya Niakiani and the dedicated staff of 6th Avenue Periodontics employ advanced surgical and cosmetic procedures to optimize smiles. During an initial examination, the experienced tooth tenders will address the patient’s health history and assess the mouthscape from all angles with the aid of a panoramic x-ray. Armed with a treatment plan and pre-operative visualization provided by the office’s advanced imaging systems, the dentist will surgically anchor a titanium dental implant into the jawbone to act as a synthetic root. During surgery, Dr. Niakiani attaches a healing collar, or abutment, that allows the gums to heal as though they were surrounding an actual tooth. Healing time varies depending on a number of factors including the hardness of bone and amount of rock candy consumed, though implants generally bond with the jawbone within three-to-six months. Though this deal does not include crowns or dentures, patients can visit their general dentist after three-to-six months to begin the process of filling the tooth-shaped hole in their heart and smile, as the solidly attached implant can be used to support single-tooth crowns, multiteeth bridges, and dentures made from intricately carved Chiclets (not included).
