What are ESTEEM® Dental Implants?

ESTEEM® 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. The procedure places titanium implant posts surgically into the jawbone, which integrate with the bone over several months. A custom implant bridge is then anchored to those posts, giving patients a complete set of fixed teeth that look, feel, and function like natural ones. Becoming a certified ESTEEM® provider requires completing a formal certification and training program. Brownstown Dental Care is a certified ESTEEM® Dental Implants provider.

What are the three phases of the ESTEEM® Dental Implants process?

The ESTEEM® Dental Implants process spans three phases over three to six months. Phase 1: Dr. Hanson meets with you, reviews your dental history, takes imaging, and creates a personalized treatment plan with a 3D model of your new teeth. Phase 2: Implant posts are placed into the jawbone and provisional teeth are fitted the same day, so you leave with a functional smile during healing. Phase 3: After the healing period, the permanent ESTEEM® implant bridge is secured in place, giving you a complete fixed smile.

Am I a good candidate for ESTEEM® Dental Implants?

You may be a good candidate if you have had years of dental treatment without lasting results, have oral health problems across most of your mouth including missing teeth, failing dentition, or significant bone loss, or need to replace most or all of your teeth. ESTEEM® Dental Implants address multiple oral health issues at once and provide the most permanent, stable solution for widespread tooth loss. A free consultation with Dr. Hanson will confirm whether you qualify based on your bone structure and health history.

Are ESTEEM® Dental Implants better than dentures?

For many patients, yes. Dentures rest on the gum tissue and are held by suction or adhesive, causing slippage and limiting what you can eat. Over time, the jawbone beneath dentures continues to shrink, changing facial structure. ESTEEM® Dental Implants are anchored directly into the jawbone and do not move. They preserve the underlying bone, allow normal eating and speaking, and require no adhesives or removal for cleaning. The upfront investment is higher than dentures, but most patients find the function and permanence justify the difference.

Does Dr. Hanson perform ESTEEM® Dental Implants himself?

Yes. Dr. Ben Hanson, DDS, performs ESTEEM® 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.
