The Only Dentist in Delaware With This Combination
Dr. Sattar A. Syed, DMD, MAGD, DABOI, DICOI is the only dentist in Delaware to hold an Academy of General Dentistry Mastership (MAGD) and Diplomate-level board certifications in implantology from both the American Board of Oral Implantology (DABOI) and the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (DICOI). Diplomate status is the highest credential each board confers.
What that means for you: the dentist who plans your implants, places them, and restores them is the same board-certified implantologist — no referrals between offices, no starting over with a stranger halfway through.

Creating Healthy Smiles

A New Tooth, Anchored Like a Real One
A dental implant replaces the whole tooth, root included. A small titanium post is placed in the jaw, your bone fuses to it over a few months, and a custom crown goes on top. Because the new tooth is anchored in living bone, it doesn't slip like a denture and doesn't require grinding down healthy neighboring teeth like a bridge — and it keeps the jawbone stimulated so it doesn't shrink away over the years.
Every case at Delaware Star Dental is planned digitally on a cone-beam CT scan before treatment starts, so placement day is predictable and the visit itself typically takes 45 to 90 minutes per implant.
Three Ways We Replace Missing Teeth
Single Tooth
One implant, one custom crown — the gold standard for a missing tooth, with no impact on its neighbors.
Ask about this optionSeveral Teeth in a Row
An implant-supported bridge: two implants anchor three or more replacement teeth, no grinding of healthy teeth.
Ask about this optionA Full Arch
Four to six implants support a complete set of fixed teeth (All-on-4), or a snap-in implant denture.

Your Free Consultation Includes
- A low-radiation cone-beam CT scan — a 3D map of your jaw, bone, and sinus anatomy
- A one-on-one exam with Dr. Syed, walking through your scan on screen with you
- Every option that fits your case explained — a single implant, an implant bridge, or a full-arch solution
- A written quote and timeline, with any preparatory work clearly listed
- Insurance verification and a walkthrough of financing options if there is a gap
You leave knowing exactly what your treatment involves and what it costs — with no pressure to commit on the spot.
How Treatment Works, Step by Step
- A free consultation and 3D scan. We map your jaw with a low-radiation cone-beam CT scan and give you a straight answer about whether implants are right for you.
- A written plan and quote. Timeline, cost, and any preparatory work — extractions or bone grafting — clearly listed before you commit to anything.
- A precise placement visit. Implant placement under local anesthesia, guided by your digital plan. Nitrous oxide is available if you're anxious — most patients are comfortable enough to drive home afterward.
- Healing, with teeth. Over three to six months the bone fuses with the implants. A temporary solution keeps you smiling whenever aesthetics matter during healing.
- Your final teeth. Your restoration is designed digitally, fabricated by a master ceramist, and seated by Dr. Syed — the same dentist who planned your case on day one.
Straight Answers on Cost
A dental implant is priced by what your case actually needs: the implant itself, the crown or bridge on top, and any preparatory work like extractions or grafting. Your free consultation ends with a written quote — itemized, with any preparatory work listed up front, so there are no surprise add-ons later.
- In-network with most major dental PPO plans — we verify your coverage before treatment starts
- Medicaid and Medicare patients welcome
- Out-of-network? We file the claims on your behalf
- No insurance? Ask about our In-House Dental Savings Plan
- Financing options walked through at your consult if there is a coverage gap
