Dental Implants on the Big Island: Restore Your Smile at Kona Dental Implants
A missing tooth can create a gap not just in your smile, but in your confidence and quality of life. At Kona Dental Implants, we are dedicated to closing that gap with a permanent, beautiful, and functional solution. Led by Dr. Sasan Garakani, a distinguished board-certified periodontist, our practice provides the highest level of specialized care for patients seeking dental implants on the Big Island, from our home base in Kailua-Kona to Hilo, Waimea, and everywhere in between.
Why Entrust Your Smile to Dr. Garakani, a Board-Certified Periodontist?
Choosing the right provider for your dental implant is the most important decision you will make. While some general dentists may place implants, a periodontist is a dental specialist who has completed years of additional, intensive training focused specifically on the gums and jawbone—the very foundation of a successful implant.
As a board-certified periodontist, Dr. Sasan Garakani has achieved the pinnacle of his profession, demonstrating a comprehensive mastery of complex surgical techniques, bone augmentation, and gum tissue health. This specialized expertise is crucial for ensuring your implant not only looks perfect but has the healthy foundation it needs to last a lifetime. When you choose Kona Dental Implants, you are choosing a dental implant specialist on the Big Island dedicated to precision, safety, and optimal long-term outcomes.
The Gold Standard: What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are the most advanced solution for replacing missing teeth. These small, biocompatible titanium posts act as artificial tooth roots that are surgically placed into the jawbone. Over a few months, the implant fuses directly with the bone, creating an incredibly strong and stable base for a custom-made crown.
Unlike dentures or bridges, tooth implants on the Big Island are the only treatment that mimics a natural tooth root, preserving the jawbone and preventing the facial sagging that can occur with bone loss.
Life-Changing Benefits of Choosing Dental Implants
A Lasting Solution: With proper care, your implants can last a lifetime.
Unmatched Confidence: Eat, speak, laugh, and smile without ever worrying about a loose denture or a gap in your smile.
A Natural Appearance: Your new tooth will be crafted to flawlessly match the color, shape, and size of your surrounding teeth.
Preserve Your Health: Implants protect healthy adjacent teeth from being ground down for a bridge and stimulate the jawbone to keep it strong.
Effortless Maintenance: Simply brush and floss as you would your natural teeth.
Our Comprehensive Dental Implant Services
At Kona Dental Implants, we offer a full spectrum of implant solutions tailored to your specific needs:
Single Tooth Implant: The perfect, seamless replacement for a single missing tooth.
Multiple Tooth Implants: An implant-supported bridge to securely and permanently fill a larger gap.

Most asked questions
Here are answers to some of the most frequent questions we receive from patients like you.
Are dental implants painful?
Laser gum treatment is a minimally invasive alternative to traditional gum surgery. It uses focused light energy to target and remove diseased tissue with precision, while promoting faster healing and less discomfort. Compared to traditional methods, laser therapy often results in less bleeding, reduced swelling, minimal sutures, and quicker recovery times. It’s an excellent option for treating gum disease and performing procedures with greater comfort and accuracy.
What are the steps for getting a dental implant?
Yes, we are currently welcoming new patients! While many patients are referred by their general dentists, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with us. You can contact us directly to book your initial consultation.
How long do dental implants last?
We offer a full range of dental implant solutions, including single-tooth implants, implant-supported bridges, and full-arch restorations. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your oral health and recommend the best option for your unique situation.
Are dental implants covered by HMSA?
Yes. We work with most major PPO insurance plans and also offer flexible financing options for treatments not covered by insurance. Our team is happy to help you understand your benefits and make advanced care affordable.
How long does it take to get dental implants?
The timeline can vary based on your specific case. Some patients may be candidates for same-day implants, while others may require several months for healing, especially if bone grafting is needed. We’ll explain the full process during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect.
