Can you imagine what it would be like to have a fast recovery from your implant surgery? That is a reality now here at West Valley Oral Surgery with Yomi® - our surgical robot.
Robot-assisted surgery offers haptic robotic guidance to intensify the skilled implant dentistry teams’ clinical expertise and delivers minimally invasive repeatable surgical precision.
Yomi® enables Dr. Serge Lokot to make tiny incisions to insert your implant posts. These small incisions result in less discomfort and faster healing, meaning a quick return to normal life.
By investing in facial scanning technology and implementing a digital workflow system, we can offer you greater precision during the planning and execution stages of the treatment, less time in the dental chair, and more convenience.
It allows us to capture detailed digital impressions of your teeth and facial structure, resulting in a more accurate treatment plan executed predictably, conservatively, and efficiently.
Our facial scanner allows us to match our plan with a full view of your external facial features and not only the internal bone structure shown by a traditional CBCT scanner. This ensures that your smile will be exactly how it was meant to look.
Many implant specialists only use a CBCT scanner, but few use this new facial scanning technology, Dr. Serge Lokot

Ready For Dental Implants?
Hear from some of our happy patients!
If you are looking for a qualified surgeon then look no further. Dr. Manny Ashraf and his staff are the most dedicated group of people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I had reconstructive work done on my upper teeth. Dr. Ashraf gave me that beautiful smile I once had. I am smiling and loving life thanks to him. I am so very pleased to have met such a fine group of professionals.
Christina M.
I want to let people who are very nervous about going to the dentist that you will do no wrong by going to Dr. Ashraf. He is the best dentist my husband and I have ever gone to. To further prove that he is great, we travel more than an hour to get the best dental care we can possibly get with relaxed feelings in the chair!
Rosemary M.
This is by far the best dental practice I've ever found. They are completely professional. The receptionists are knowledgeable of how insurance works and explain everything to you. Dr Ashraf helps you to prioritize the work that needs to be done. There is no pressure here. Every procedure is explained and they use state of the art equipment. The hygienists are awesome as well. I highly recommend this practice
Gina K.
Dr. Ashraf is always a pleasure to see, I trust his work as does my family. He is very careful and we have never had any complaints... only bright smiles. My only dismay is that as a New York City Public School Teacher, he does not accept my insurance and so going to see him cost me a lot. If that changed, I would gladly give 5 stars.

How Missing Teeth Affect Your Jaw Shape
If there isn't enough bone left, you will not be eligible for dental implants.
Patients have put off coming in... Only to later find out they were no longer eligible for dental implants because they had lost too much bone.
They told us... I would've paid any amount of money to go back in time and find out sooner!
Dental implants feel and function like natural teeth and are a great way for you to get back to smiling and eating naturally.
With whole mouth implants that replace missing teeth, we can create a whole new you in just one visit. If you are a good candidate, you may be able to go home the next day or sooner with new teeth and a beautiful smile.
West Valley Oral Surgery utilizes the latest dental implant procedures and technology.
Fixed Full Arch Dental Implants (also known as All on Four or All on Six) offer the best option for people looking for a long-term solution and a perfect smile.
Matched to your face and mouth
Permanent and don't need to be removed
Look and feel most like normal teeth

Implant Supported Dentures, also called Overdentures or Snap-On Dentures are another popular option. They offer a more cost-effective solution compared to fixed full arch implants.
Help to slow or eliminate progressive bone loss
Improve the taste and feel of food compared to a traditional full denture
Snap on over 2 to 4 implants
Bite force of 50% (As compared to 20% for traditional dentures)
Starting at $XXX or $XXX/mo
Zygomatic dental implants offer a unique approach to tooth replacement by anchoring implants in the cheekbones instead of the jawbone.
This eliminates the need for altering the jawbone and provides stable support for fixed teeth. With longer implants, zygomatic implants can accommodate replacement teeth effectively.
When performed by a skilled clinician familiar with 3D anatomies, such as Dr. Serge Lokot, you can have that amazing smile again.
The Benefits of Zygomatic Implants:
Requires fewer surgeries
Supports secure, natural-looking teeth
Eliminates the need for bone grafting procedures
Provides reliable, long-term function
West Valley Oral Surgery offers a unique alternative to All-on-4 that is lighter and thinner. The 3 on 6™ dental implants are specially designed to restore your natural eating and chewing. As the name states, six implants are installed to provide strength and stability while protecting from jawbone loss. Three natural-looking, bright, and solid Zirconium bridges are connected to the six implants with no acrylic mouthpiece. This means the bulkiness of a traditional full arch mouthpiece goes away. You can chew, smile, and speak freely. It's like having natural teeth!
Caring for your new implants is a breeze; you only need to brush and floss, that's it. No trips to the doctor to remove your arch to clean out the mouthpiece!
3 on 6™ is considered one of the best smile restoration treatments available. Come visit and learn more.
Dr. Lokot's is an oral surgeon, a dental specialist who has undergone many years of additional training in restoration and replacement of teeth and learned how to perform dental implant surgery on patients with various oral health conditions.

Time May Be Running Out
The longer you wait, the greater the chance of missing this opportunity.
Every procedure is different because every person is different. In order to get an accurate estimate of the costs associated with a dental implant procedure, we need to see your scans and go over your specific needs.
Implant Bridges, Zygomatic Implants and traditional implants for teeth are a premium solution to tooth loss and therefore are more of an investment than temporary solutions such as dentures, however, with maximizing insurance coverage, and payment plan options available, we work to make it an affordable option for almost anyone.
The amount your insurance will cover is based on your provider and your unique situation. Of course, we will know that once you complete the necessary exams and review everything at your consultation.
After the surgery, you will have mild discomfort that can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
