Losing teeth can significantly affect your ability to bite and chew comfortably, straining adjacent teeth and leading to further issues. Dental implants offer a lasting solution by mimicking natural teeth in look, feel, and function. A surgically placed post fuses with the jawbone, supporting a secure restoration like a crown or bridge. This approach ensures durability, aesthetics, and long-term success. At Almaden Valley Smile Design, our board-certified surgeons provide expert care, delivering top-quality implant solutions.
Modern dental implants have success rates exceeding 95% and have several benefits over traditional treatments such as dental bridges. With a bridge, your dentist shaves down teeth next to your missing tooth to create space for the restoration.
In addition to removing perfectly good tooth structure, shaving teeth down for a bridge may irritate the nerves of the teeth, leading to future root canals. With dental implants, the teeth next to the missing tooth are not touched. This eliminates unnecessary trauma to the adjacent teeth and the possible need for expensive and painful root canals.
Dental implants are a versatile solution to tooth loss that can be tailored to address your needs and smile goals. The first step in creating your custom dental implant treatment plan is a consultation, where we will discuss your concerns and goals for how you hope dental implants can improve your quality of life.
We will discuss your dental concerns, smile goals, and medical history. If you’re a good candidate for dental implants, we’ll collect detailed measurements and digital diagnostic images to create the foundation of your new smile design. We will customize every detail of your smile design, from the shape and color of each tooth to how your new teeth match your facial structure and gum and lip line.
As with every procedure at Almaden Valley Smile Design, you’ll rest comfortably with safe and effective dental sedation. If you need tooth extractions, we may be able to place grafting material and implant posts in the same appointment. In other cases, we’ll make a small incision in the gums to access the underlying bone and place your implants into predetermined spots within your jawbone.
During the 3-6 month healing period, you’ll have a follow-up appointment to assess the integration of your implants. This appointment includes a detailed discussion, where you can discuss your healing progress and any concerns. We will examine your implants and the healing of your sutures to ensure everything is proceeding as expected. Before you leave, we’ll provide a clear timeline for when you should return to receive your final restorations.
Your dental implant posts will fuse with the surrounding bone tissue during osseointegration. Most of your healing process will be very comfortable, and most patients report tolerable discomfort for the first few days.
Once your mouth has healed, you’ll return to our office for updated scans and to have your final restorations placed. These final restorations are hand-crafted from the highest-quality material and built to last. With proper at-home care and regular checkups, your dental implants have the potential to last an entire lifetime!
