A New Reason To Smile With Dental Implants
What Are Dental Implants?
The Implant Process
To ensure that the full process runs smoothly, a patient must follow a certain protocol on their journey to receive dental implants. As part of our process in California we consider how an implant might help the patient, as well as what pretreatment requirements might be required in order to ensure a successful outcome. This process is as follows:
If it is discovered that the patient requires treatment, this must first be completed. Problems like gum disease, poor bone density, untreated injuries, or severely decayed teeth are all treatable and this step must be taken to ensure the patient is in the best condition before placement surgery.
After determining the mouth is healthy enough, the placement procedure will take place. The doctor first creates a small incision above the implant placement area. Through this opening, a titanium post will be inserted and anchored to the jawbone. The incision site will then be closed and left to heal for between three and six months.
After having enough time to integrate with the supporting bone structure, the implant post should be stable enough to place an abutment. An abutment acts as the connecting piece between the implant post and dental crown, connecting the entire appliance together.
Based on the patient and doctor’s consultation, a customized crown is built to match the patient’s preference for color, size, and shape. Once the crown is cemented or screwed into place, the patient will enjoy a strong, healthy, and appealing smile for a lifetime.

The doctor is kind, professional, and communicates very well. She clearly described what was going to happen during my procedures every step of the way. There was no guessing about anything including fees. She and her team were outstanding! I would, and have, referred her to friends and family!

The doctor is the best prosthodontist anywhere. Knowledgeable expert in health and dental issues related to partials (dentures). He has outstanding technical and aesthetic skills in the design, fitting, and care of partials. He is truly caring, gentle, and generous. Always make you feel welcome and that you are in good hands.

I have had no problems with the work in five years. It took three years, but other dentists are very impressed with how good the work is.
