Dental Implant Provider | Batavia | Marco V. Colella, DMD
Living with missing teeth affects more than just your smile—it impacts your confidence, speech, and overall quality of life. As your Batavia dental implants provider, I understand the profound difference that a complete, functional smile makes in daily life. At Marco V. Colella, DMD, PLLC, we combine advanced implant technology with personalized care to replace missing teeth with solutions that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. Unlike traditional replacements, dental implants provide a permanent foundation that preserves your jawbone, maintains your facial structure, and delivers unmatched stability. Many of our patients tell us they wish they’d pursued implant treatment sooner after experiencing the life-changing results of eating, speaking, and smiling with complete confidence again.
Dental implant placement
Dental implant placement restores missing teeth with titanium roots supporting natural-looking crowns. I use 3D imaging for perfect positioning. These stable replacements prevent bone loss while letting you eat, speak, and smile confidently.
Dental implant restorations
Dental implant restorations complete your smile with custom crowns, bridges, or dentures attached to implants. I create lifelike replacements that match your natural teeth and won't slip while eating or speaking, giving you lasting confidence.
All-on-4® implant restorations
All-on-4® implant restorations replace a full arch of teeth using just four strategically placed implants. I secure a custom prosthetic to these implants for immediate function. You'll enjoy a complete smile in one day with improved speech, chewing ability, and facial appearance.
Bone preservation techniques
Bone preservation techniques maintain your jawbone volume after tooth extraction. I use specialized grafting materials to prevent the natural bone loss that occurs when teeth are removed. This protects your facial structure and creates the ideal foundation for future implants or other restorations.
Socket preservation
Socket preservation protects bone after tooth extraction. I place grafting material in the socket to prevent shrinkage and maintain your jaw structure. This simple procedure creates an ideal foundation for future implants and preserves your facial appearance.
Guided bone regeneration
Guided bone regeneration rebuilds lost jawbone using special membranes and grafting materials. I create the proper foundation needed for successful dental implants. This procedure restores bone volume and width, giving you better long-term results and a stronger, more natural-looking smile.
PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) treatments
PRF treatments use your own blood components to speed healing after dental procedures. I concentrate growth factors from a small blood sample and apply this natural healing matrix to surgical sites. This reduces pain, accelerates recovery, and improves results with minimal risk.
PRF Draw for enhanced healing
PRF treatments use your own blood components to speed healing after dental procedures. I concentrate growth factors from a small blood sample and apply this natural healing matrix to surgical sites. This reduces pain, accelerates recovery, and improves results with minimal risk.
Soft tissue grafting
Soft tissue grafting repairs receding gums and covers exposed tooth roots. I use donor tissue or your own palate tissue to rebuild your gumline. This procedure reduces sensitivity, protects root surfaces from decay, and improves the appearance of your smile with natural-looking results.
Bioactive materials for tissue regeneration
We use advanced bioactive materials that stimulate your body's natural healing process. These materials help regenerate dental tissue, promoting faster recovery and better long-term oral health. Perfect for patients seeking modern, minimally invasive dental care.
Growth factor applications
Our growth factor treatments speed up healing and tissue repair naturally. We apply these proteins directly to your dental tissues, reducing recovery time and improving results. A smart choice for patients wanting faster healing after procedures without artificial additives.
Dental cone beam CT
Our dental cone beam CT creates detailed 3D images of teeth, soft tissues, and bone in a single scan. This advanced technology helps us plan treatments with precision and accuracy. Experience comfortable imaging that leads to better dental care outcomes.
Dental implants for aesthetics
Our dental implants blend perfectly with your natural teeth, creating a beautiful smile you'll love to show off. These permanent replacements look, feel, and function just like real teeth. Get back your confident smile with implants that match your tooth color and shape.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Dental Implant Services
What are dental implants and how do they work?
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into your jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. They function as a sturdy foundation for attaching replacement teeth like crowns, bridges, or dentures. Unlike traditional replacements, implants stimulate your jawbone during chewing, preventing bone loss and maintaining facial structure. Most implants are made from biocompatible titanium that integrates with your bone through a process called osseointegration, creating a permanent solution.
Am I a good candidate for dental implants?
Most adults with good general and oral health are candidates for dental implants. Ideal candidates have adequate jawbone density to support implants and healthy gum tissue free from periodontal disease. Even if you’ve been told you lack sufficient bone volume, our advanced bone regeneration techniques can often create the foundation needed for successful implants. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your oral health, medical history, and jawbone structure to determine if implants are right for you.
How long does the dental implant process take?
The dental implant timeline varies depending on your specific situation. For standard cases, the process typically takes 3-6 months from initial placement to final restoration. If bone grafting is needed, this may add 3-4 months to the timeline. In some cases, we can place implants immediately after tooth extraction or provide same-day restorations with our All-on-4® technique. During your consultation, we’ll outline a personalized treatment timeline based on your unique needs.
Are dental implant procedures painful?
Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the implant process is. We perform implant placement using local anesthesia, and many patients report less discomfort than with tooth extraction. For those with dental anxiety, we offer additional sedation options to ensure complete comfort. Following surgery, any discomfort is typically managed well with over-the-counter pain relievers. Our use of advanced PRF technology accelerates healing and further minimizes post-operative discomfort.
How much do dental implants cost?
The cost of dental implants varies based on several factors including the number of implants needed, whether preparatory procedures like bone grafting are required, and the type of restoration attached to the implants. During your consultation, we’ll provide a detailed treatment plan with transparent pricing. While dental implants may have higher initial costs than traditional options, their durability and long-term benefits often make them more cost-effective over time. We offer financing options to help make this investment in your oral health affordable.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. The implant posts themselves have success rates exceeding 95% over 20+ years. The restorations attached to implants (crowns, bridges, or dentures) may need replacement after 10-15 years due to normal wear. Regular dental check-ups, good home care, and avoiding tobacco products significantly enhance implant longevity. Many of our patients have enjoyed their implants for decades without complications, making them one of the most predictable and long-lasting solutions in dentistry.
