Dental Implants
Dr. Zachary Grillo combines his extensive skill and experience with advanced 3D technology, providing complete implant services in one location.
Dental implants are the modern solution for missing or broken-down teeth. Durable, aesthetic dental implants return comfortable function, prevent bone loss and restore a patient’s confidence in their smile.
“Broken, damaged or missing teeth can have many negative consequences, including pain and not being able to chew your food,” says Dr. Grillo. “For many patients, dental implants are an absolute godsend. They’re a phenomenal way to replace teeth or stabilize dentures.”
Highly Trained Implant Dentist
Dr. Grillo’s passion for implant dentistry started in dental school and continues to be a focus of his continuing education and his dental practice. He has learned from the experts in the implant field in the United States and has taken extensive continuing training to further his implant education. He is a member of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry and regularly teaches other dentists on the subject of dental implants.
Having completed thousands of implant cases through the course of his career, Dr. Grillo has finely tuned the methods that maximize the success rate of his procedures. Whether the patient needs a single tooth, several teeth or all of their teeth replaced, Dr. Grillo can perform the entire treatment in his office—even for the most complex cases.
Dr. Grillo’s knowledge and skills are in demand beyond his dental practice. Several times a year, he joins well-known implantology experts to teach seminars on implant dentistry to other dentists. He is a sought-after teacher and mentor, and has even helped to pioneer new implant techniques.
“There’s always more to learn,” says Dr. Grillo. He has attended international implant seminars and bone-building seminars, and has completed an NYU implant externship.
Dental Implants
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root made of titanium. It is placed in the jawbone, and a crown, dental bridge or denture is attached.
- Implants look, act and feel just like natural teeth.
- Implants are the strongest and longest-lasting option for tooth replacement.
- Implants let you talk, chew and exert pressure the way natural teeth do.
- Implants don’t require modification of adjacent teeth, as is the case with traditional bridges.
- Implants help preserve bone in the jaw, preventing the collapsed, wrinkled look caused by the progressive bone loss that occurs with missing teeth and dentures.

3D Technology and Planning Software
Dr. Grillo stays at the forefront of advances in dental implant treatment, planning and performing implant procedures aided by 3D technology.
A 3D cone beam scanner captures detailed images of the patient’s entire oral structure, including bone density and the location of the sinuses and nerves. Cutting-edge 3D implant treatment planning software allows him to perform a simulated surgery, mapping out the exact location and angle of each implant ahead of time. This ensures that the procedure is as conservative and minimally invasive as possible. If needed, he creates a surgical guide to use during the procedure to aid in accurate implant placement.
Beautiful, Lasting Results
Dr. Grillo can measure implant stability, so he knows when it is safe to attach the permanent replacement teeth. The patient receives beautiful, natural-looking teeth that fit seamlessly into their smile and can last a lifetime with proper care.
