What Are Dental Implants?
/
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of durable titanium. Implants can support a variety of restorations to replace missing teeth. They also supply the jawbone with the stimulation it needs to remain healthy and prevent the bone deterioration that occurs after tooth loss.

Reap the Benefits of Dental Implants
Restored Function
Implants paired with custom restorations can restore your oral function, allowing you to eat the foods you love and speak clearly and confidently.
Better Jawbone Health
Dental implants provide the jaw with the same stimulation the tooth roots once provided. Implants are the only restorative dentistry treatment that can prevent jawbone deterioration.
Restored Appearance
Missing teeth can be embarrassing and impact your self-confidence. Implants and natural-looking restorations can give you a dazzling smile you can't help but share.
Superior Stability
Traditional dentures rely on suction or messy denture adhesive to remain in place. Implant-supported dentures are secured to the implants, so there is no adhesive needed and no risk of slippage when you eat and speak.

Dental Implant Candidacy
During your initial consultation at our Los Algodones practice, your dentist will help determine if you are a good candidate for dental implants. You may be a candidate if you:
- Are in Good Oral Health: Dental implants need a healthy foundation. You must be free of issues like tooth decay and gum disease before your implant placement. We offer a wide range of dental treatment options, like root canal therapy, to help you qualify.
- Have Sufficient Jawbone Material: Implants require sufficient bone material to fuse to. In some cases, patients with bone loss may qualify for All-on-4 or All-on-6 implants. However, if you have extensive bone loss, we can perform a bone graft or sinus lift to improve your candidacy.
- Do Not Use Tobacco: Tobacco products are bad for your oral and overall health and increase your risk of implant failure. It is best to permanently stop all tobacco use before your implant procedure. This can also reduce your risk of future oral health concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions About Implants
Q. How do I care for my implants and restorations?
A. It's easy! Simply brush and floss as you would with your natural teeth. Be sure to continue attending regular dental checkups to keep your restored smile healthy and beautiful for years to come.
Q. How long do implants last?
A. Implants and abutments themselves are made of durable titanium and designed to last a lifetime. With proper care, your custom restorations can last for 15 years or more before they will need to be replaced.
Q. Does implant placement hurt?
A. No. You will be thoroughly numbed before placement begins. You can also receive sedation to ensure you are completely comfortable. Some discomfort during the healing period is expected, but is usually easily managed with pain medications, ice, and a soft diet.
Q. I've been told I don't qualify for implants. Can you still help?
A. If you have been told you do not qualify due to jawbone deterioration, our dentists can perform preparatory dental work such as bone grafting, a sinus lift, or extractions in order to help improve your candidacy. In some cases, you may not qualify for traditional implant placement, but you may qualify for All-on-4 or All-on-6. Our dentists can help determine the best course of treatment to help you achieve a healthy, beautiful, and functional smile once again.
Q. Will anyone be able to tell I have dental implants?
A. No. The dental implants themselves are not visible, and your restoration is designed to look just like your natural teeth. No one will be able to tell that you have dental implants unless you tell them.
