You have spent years adapting to a life built around hiding something that can be fixed. You deserve better than that.
ESTEEM® Dental Implants was built for patients exactly like you. The system was co-founded and is co-owned by Dr. Ben Hanson, DDS, right here at Brownstown Dental Care in Woodhaven, MI. When you choose ESTEEM® Dental Implants at Brownstown, you are not sitting across from a provider who completed a weekend course.

Your Frequently Asked Questions About ESTEEM® Dental Implants
What are ESTEEMu00ae Dental Implants?
ESTEEMu00ae Dental Implants is a proprietary full-arch dental implant system designed for patients who need to replace all or most of their teeth. The system was co-founded and is co-owned by Dr. Ben Hanson, DDS, of Brownstown Dental Care in Woodhaven, MI. It is not a generic implant brand. It is a purpose-built clinical system with a formal certification and training program for dentists who want to offer it.
The procedure places titanium implant posts surgically into the jawbone. Over a healing period of several months, those posts integrate with the bone, creating a stable, permanent foundation. A custom-crafted implant bridge is then anchored to those posts, giving you a complete set of fixed teeth that look, feel, and function like natural ones.
Key advantages over removable dentures:
- Fixed permanently. No removal, no adhesive, no slipping during meals or conversations.
- Eat what you want. Hard foods and crunchy foods are back on the menu.
- Protect your jawbone. Implants prevent the ongoing bone loss that dentures cannot stop.
- Natural appearance. Custom-matched to complement your face and bite.
- Built to last. The implant posts are designed to be permanent with proper care.
What are the three phases of the ESTEEMu00ae Dental Implants process?
The ESTEEMu00ae Dental Implants process happens in three phases, typically spanning three to six months from start to finish.
Phase 1: Consultation and planning. Dr. Hanson meets with you, reviews your dental history, and takes imaging to evaluate your bone structure. If ESTEEMu00ae Dental Implants is the right fit, a personalized treatment plan is created along with a 3D model of your new teeth.
Phase 2: Implant placement and temporaries. Dr. Hanson prepares your mouth and places the titanium implant posts. Provisional teeth are fitted the same day so you leave with a functional smile while the implants heal and fuse with the bone. Most patients notice an improvement immediately.
Phase 3: Permanent restoration. After the healing period, the permanent ESTEEMu00ae implant bridge is secured in place. It is durable, stain-resistant, and fits precisely. You leave with a complete, fixed smile you can eat, speak, and live with freely.
Am I a good candidate for ESTEEMu00ae Dental Implants?
ESTEEMu00ae Dental Implants may be the right choice if any of the following apply to you.
You have had years of dental treatment without lasting results. Many patients who choose full-arch implants have already tried crowns, bridges, and multiple other procedures. If you have spent years and significant money attempting to restore your smile with limited success, a permanent full-arch solution may be the better path.
You have oral health problems across most of your mouth. ESTEEMu00ae Dental Implants address multiple issues at once, including missing teeth, failing dentition, significant bone loss, and damaged gums. This makes them especially well-suited for patients who need more than a single tooth replaced.
You need to replace most or all of your teeth. ESTEEMu00ae Dental Implants replace an entire arch, upper or lower or both. If your situation involves widespread tooth loss or damage, this is the most permanent and stable solution available.
The best way to know if you qualify is a consultation with Dr. Hanson. He will review your bone structure, health history, and goals, and give you a clear, honest answer.
Are ESTEEMu00ae Dental Implants better than dentures?
For many patients, yes. Here is why.
Dentures rest on top of the gum tissue and are held in place by suction or adhesive. They can shift, slip, and make eating certain foods difficult. Over time, the jawbone beneath dentures continues to shrink because there is no implant stimulating bone retention. This changes the shape of your face and eventually requires denture refitting.
ESTEEMu00ae Dental Implants are anchored directly into the jawbone. They do not move. You can eat normally, speak without worry, and maintain your facial structure long-term because the implants preserve the underlying bone. There are no adhesives, no removal for cleaning, and no slippage.
The upfront investment is higher than dentures, but most patients find that the function, comfort, and permanence of implants make the difference clear.
Does Dr. Hanson perform ESTEEMu00ae Dental Implants himself?
Yes. Dr. Ben Hanson, DDS, performs ESTEEMu00ae Dental Implants procedures at Brownstown Dental Care. He completed advanced residency training in complex restorative dentistry, oral surgery, and IV sedation at the VA Hospital and University of Michigan Hospitals in Ann Arbor. He has over 1,000 hours of dental implant continuing education and is a Fellow of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists.
As a co-founder and co-owner of ESTEEMu00ae Dental Implants, Dr. Hanson does not simply use this system. He helped build it. He also trains other dentists to perform it through the Foundation for Surgical Excellence, an AGD-accredited continuing education organization he co-founded.
When you come to Brownstown Dental Care for ESTEEMu00ae Dental Implants, you are working directly with the doctor who helped design the approach you are receiving.
What does a free ESTEEMu00ae Dental Implants consultation include?
