Dental Implants

What is a Dental Implant?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium that are surgically placed into the jawbone. These implants provide a sturdy foundation for replacement teeth, such as crowns or bridges. Unlike traditional dentures, implants are fixed in place and feel and function like natural teeth. The process of placing dental implants has become a fairly straightforward procedure, best performed by the highly trained staff at Dental Care of Chino Hills.

Smile with confidence

Dental implants are biocompatible foundations which are surgically inserted into the jaw bone, forming a new “root” upon which a permanent crown is firmly affixed. They are aesthetically indistinguishable from your natural teeth, resulting in a seamless restoration of your original smile.  These new teeth have superb longevity, and will feel, look, and function just like the original tooth.

The Dental Implant Procedure

Consultation and Treatment Planning

The first step in the dental implant process is a thorough consultation with our experienced dentist. During this appointment, we’ll assess your oral health, discuss your treatment goals, and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Implant Placement

Once the treatment plan is finalized, the surgical placement of the dental implants is the next step. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. Our skilled team will carefully insert the implants into the jawbone, where they will fuse with the surrounding bone over time.

Healing and Osseointegration

After implant placement, a healing period is necessary to allow the implants to integrate with the jawbone. This process, known as osseointegration, typically takes several months. During this time, temporary crowns or bridges may be placed to restore function and aesthetics.

Restoration

The final restoration phase can begin once the implants have fully integrated with the jawbone. Our dentist will attach custom-made crowns, bridges, or dentures to the implants, completing your smile transformation. The result is a beautiful, functional smile that looks and feels natural.

Aftercare and Maintenance

Oral Hygiene

Maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial for the longevity of your dental implants. Brushing and flossing regularly, along with routine dental check-ups, will help prevent gum disease and ensure the health of your implants.

Regular Dental Visits

Regular visits to our dental practice are essential for monitoring the health of your implants and addressing any issues that may arise. Our experienced team is dedicated to providing ongoing support and guidance to ensure the success of your dental implant treatment.

The latest advancements in technology and treatment procedures have enabled your dentist to utilize dental implants as a routine option for restorative cosmetic dentistry, with an excellent track record for patients.  Bridges, implants, and implant-supported crowns, as well as removable dentures, are some of the options we may recommend to restore or replace your damaged teeth and brighten your smile.
