Renew Your Smile with Custom Dental Implants in Portland
Don’t settle for anything less than a smile that looks and feels naturally yours.
At The Implant Center, we’re here to help you regain your confidence, protect your natural features, and restore your quality of life—without ever compromising on quality or longevity.
Whether you’re dealing with a single missing tooth, a bridge that is starting to fail, or dentures that constantly slip, you deserve a solution designed specifically for your life, your anatomy, and your comfort.
Our Personalized Dental Implant Solutions
We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to dental health. Unlike high-volume corporate clinics that treat every patient with the same rigid blueprint, we take the time to understand your unique bone structure, your lifestyle goals, and your personal comfort. We specialize exclusively in premium, permanent solutions to help you find the perfect fit for your life:
All-on-X Full-Arch Restorations
If you need to replace a full row of teeth, we design custom-engineered solutions supported by 4, 5, or 6 implants, tailored precisely to what your jaw needs to stay healthy and strong. By gently angling the implants, this advanced approach maximizes your existing bone structure, often saving you months of healing time and avoiding the need for extensive bone grafting.
The 3-on-6™ Dental Implant System
Dr. Adam Marina is proud to be the only authorized 3-on-6™ provider in the Portland metro area, bringing this advanced alternative directly to our community. This system uses six vertically placed implants to anchor three separate, independent Zirconia bridges. Because it divides your smile into distinct segments, it mimics natural tooth mechanics, allowing your jaw to flex naturally while you eat and talk.
Single & Multi-Tooth Implants
If you’re missing just one tooth or have a small gap, an individual dental implant is the absolute gold standard. Because the implant stands entirely on its own as a standalone root, your surrounding healthy teeth are left completely untouched. Placing a standalone titanium post preserves your natural jaw structure, stops localized bone loss, and keeps neighboring teeth perfectly aligned.
Real Smiles, Real Transformations
Seeing is believing. A custom Zirconia smile restoration doesn’t just fix teeth: it preserves your natural facial proportions, restores your health, and gives you your lifestyle back. Below, explore a few of the real results achieved by neighbors right here in our Portland clinic under the care of Dr. Adam Marina.

Your Journey to a New Smile: Our 3-Step Process
We understand that visiting the dentist (especially for a surgical procedure) can feel intimidating. That’s why we’ve designed a simple, transparent, and stress-free process that keeps you safe, relaxed, and comfortable from start to finish.
Your journey begins with a relaxed, unhurried conversation at our downtown Portland office. Dr. Adam will listen to your story, answer your questions, and take a high-definition 3D CBCT scan to safely evaluate your jaw health. This advanced digital imaging allows us to see exactly what’s happening beneath the surface so we can map out a precise, customized treatment plan together.
On the morning of your procedure, our team will use modern, comforting sedation options to ensure you feel relaxed and ready for Dr. Adam to place your implant anchors. Before you head home that afternoon, we’ll securely attach a beautiful, functional set of temporary teeth. You’ll walk out of our office with a complete, confident smile on day one.
Over the next few months, your implants will naturally fuse with your jawbone, creating a rock-solid foundation. Once that bond is perfectly secure, our laboratory custom-mills your permanent teeth from a solid block of premium Zirconia. While our patients love having 100% of their bite strength back, Dr. Adam always says what makes people truly happiest is looking in the mirror and seeing a smile that looks naturally, beautifully, and uniquely theirs.
The Implant Center Difference: Why Independent, Doctor-Owned Care Matters
Perfecting your smile is a deeply personal, emotional milestone. Unfortunately, many people looking for dental implants find themselves inside massive corporate chains or regional franchises. Too often, those environments can feel like high-volume assembly lines where you’re pushed into quick decisions using high-pressure tactics.
We built our practice to be the exact opposite of that corporate experience.
We’re an independent, locally-owned specialty clinic.
We don't answer to corporate shareholders or sales targets: we answer only to you. We maintain a warm, peaceful, and intimate office environment so we can treat you with genuine kindness, patience, and undivided attention.
We believe in absolute financial transparency.
We sit down with you to map out a clear, predictable investment plan up front. To fit your care comfortably into your budget, we partner with the country's most trusted healthcare financing providers (including Proceed Finance, CareCredit, LendingClub, and Cherry) to offer comfortable monthly payment options.
Choosing Your Care: Independent Practice vs. Corporate Chains
To help you make the best, most informed choice for your health and peace of mind, here is how a doctor-owned practice compares directly to a mass-volume corporate facility:
| Patient Care & Quality Standards | The Implant Center (Independent) | High-Volume Corporate Chains |
|---|---|---|
| Who Drives Your Care? | Only you. Dr. Adam provides unhurried, personalized care on your timeline. | Distant corporate shareholders, regional sales targets, and sales quotas. |
| Treatment Materials Used | 100% Premium Zirconia. Completely non-porous, stain-resistant, and lifelike. | Often use cheaper, porous acrylic (plastic) teeth fused to a metal bar. |
| The In-Office Experience | Warm and judgment-free. A small, compassionate local team centered entirely on patient care. | Can feel like an assembly line with high-pressure sales pitches and one-size-fits-all treatment. |
| Long-Term Protection | Lifetime Warranty proudly backing our dental implant restorations. | Limited safeguards against cracking, staining, and wear. |

Real Stories of Portland Smile Transformations
Reclaiming My Confidence
“Before finding Dr. Adam, I visited two large corporate implant chains in the area. Both times, I walked away feeling like a number on a spreadsheet. Coming to The Implant Center was night and day.
Dr. Adam took over an hour just listening to my history, walking me through my 3D scans, and explaining the engineering of an All-on-X system. Now that my final Zirconia teeth are in, I can eat whatever I want and smile with confidence. If you want to be treated with dignity, come here.”

Getting My Smile Back
When my old dental work started failing, a corporate center recommended a traditional full-arch system with an artificial pink porcelain gum line. I was really hoping to find an option that sat directly against my own gums.
Finding The Implant Center changed everything. Dr. Adam explained that because my bone density was still strong, I was a candidate for the 3-on-6 system. He is the only authorized provider in town, and his compassionate approach put me at ease instantly. Now when I look in the mirror, I see the smile I grew up with.”

Overcoming Dental Anxiety
“I had been missing three teeth in the back of my mouth for years. Chewing was difficult and causing jaw pain, but because of my anxiety about dental work, I kept putting off care.
The Implant Center team treated me with zero judgment and immense compassion. They customized a gentle sedation protocol that allowed me to comfortably relax through the placement of my implants. Today, my smile feels naturally mine. Bypassing the big corporate chains and coming to this independent clinic was the best decision I could have made.”

Elite Surgical Training Meets Compassionate Care
Replacing even a single tooth requires exceptional surgical precision to ensure it lasts a lifetime. Dr. Adam Marina has dedicated his career to clinical mastery, making a massive personal investment in continuing education every single year, traveling across the country to learn directly from the pioneers of modern implant dentistry.
Dr. Adam has completed rigorous surgical training and learned alongside leading global educators, including:
- Dr. Randy Roberts (The dental innovator who invented and patented the 3-on-6™ system).
- Dr. Juan Gonzalez (Founder of the All-on-X Masterclass and creator of the specialized PATZI surgical protocol).
- Dr. Simon Oh & Dr. Jonathan Theis (International leaders in advanced, live-patient implantology via ORCAA).
Through advanced institutions like ORCAA, the Atlantic Implant Institute, and the AOX Academy, Dr. Adam has mastered complex bone grafting, soft-tissue integration, and computer-guided digital placement.
But above all, he believes in treating the whole person with real empathy, helping patients leave judgment and anxiety behind so they can step forward on their own timeline. Because we stand behind this level of engineering excellence, we proudly back our implant placements with a comprehensive Lifetime Warranty.
Common Questions About Dental Implants
What if I've been told I'm not a candidate due to bone loss?
Many of our patients come to us after being turned away by traditional dental offices or corporate networks. Because advanced implant dentistry is our core focus, we have the specialized technology and surgical expertise required to solve complex cases. By utilizing 3D CBCT scans to carefully evaluate your jaw health, Dr. Adam is frequently able to use advanced bone-grafting techniques to rebuild a stable foundation, helping patients who thought their hope for a permanent smile was lost.
Will I be left without teeth during the healing process?
No, you’ll never have to worry about leaving our practice toothless or with a visible gap. On the day of your procedure, Dr. Adam will place your implant anchors and securely attach a functional, beautiful set of temporary teeth before you leave. This “Same-Day Smile” approach protects your privacy, preserves your appearance, and allows you to smile and speak confidently while your jawbone naturally heals over the following few months.
How long does the entire dental implant process take from start to finish?
The surgical placement itself is typically completed in the morning and you’ll walk out that afternoon with temporary teeth. Following surgery, your jawbone requires roughly 3 to 6 months to naturally heal and fuse permanently around the lifetime titanium anchors (a process called osseointegration). Once Dr. Adam verifies your implants are healing as planned, our lab custom-mills your final, permanent Zirconia teeth, which are securely attached during a follow-up visit.

What is the difference between an All-on-X layout and the 3-on-6™ system?
Both are premium, permanent restorations custom-milled from solid Zirconia, but they are engineered for different anatomical needs. An All-on-X system supports a single, continuous bridge and uses a custom-shaped pink ceramic base to beautifully replace lost bone and tissue volume, restoring your natural facial proportions and lip support. Conversely, the 3-on-6™ system uses six vertically placed implants to anchor three separate, independent bridges that sit directly flush against your natural gums, tracing the contours of your mouth without an artificial gum base.
Can I get dental implants if I smoke or vape?
Yes, smokers can successfully receive dental implants. However, nicotine constricts blood vessels, which slows down your body’s natural healing response and can lower the success rate of the procedure. Dr. Adam works closely with patients who smoke or vape to create a customized safety plan, which includes temporarily pausing nicotine use for a specific window before and after surgery to give your implants the absolute best foundation to heal properly.
What happens if an implant fails or breaks years down the road?
Because your final teeth are precision-milled from solid Zirconia, they’re incredibly dense and virtually immune to chipping, cracking, or breaking under normal chewing forces. Titanium posts cannot decay or develop cavities. To ensure you feel secure in your investment, our practice stands behind our work by backing our smile transformations with a comprehensive Lifetime Warranty.
