Why should I replace my missing teeth with Dental Implants?

Dental implants offer a robust and long-term solution to tooth loss for several compelling reasons. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants replace the entire tooth structure, including the root, which helps to stimulate the jawbone and prevent bone loss – a common consequence of missing teeth that can alter facial structure over time. By integrating directly with your jawbone, implants provide unparalleled stability and support for replacement teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence, 1 just like you would with your natural teeth. Furthermore, because they are individual replacements, implants don't rely on adjacent teeth for support, preserving the health and integrity of your remaining natural teeth. Investing in dental implants is an investment in your long-term oral health, functionality, and aesthetic appearance.

When is the ideal time to get a dental implant?

The ideal time to get a dental implant placed in Los Angeles depends on several factors specific to your individual situation. Generally, there are a few different scenarios:
  • Immediately after tooth extraction: In some cases, if you have healthy gums and sufficient bone density, an implant can be placed on the same day as the tooth extraction. This can shorten the overall treatment time.
  • Early placement (2-3 months after extraction): This allows the gum tissue to heal. 1 Placing the implant at this stage often occurs before significant bone loss happens.
  • Delayed placement (more than 3 months after extraction): This is common, especially if there was infection or bone loss around the extracted tooth. It allows the bone to heal and may require bone grafting to ensure enough support for the implant.
The best timeframe for you will be determined by a thorough evaluation at LA Dental, including assessing your bone health, gum condition, and the reason for the tooth loss. Consulting with our implant specialists will provide you with a personalized treatment plan and timeline for your dental implant placement.

How Our Dental Implants Work

Step 1: Virtual Consultation (15 min) – Free

Book a free virtual consultation with our expert doctor. This initial meeting allows us to discuss your goals, evaluate your needs, and give you a ballpark estimate for your dental implants.

Step 2: In-Person Consultation & Records Collection

You'll have an initial appointment with one of our experienced dentists
This includes a thorough review of your medical and dental history.

A comprehensive oral examination will be performed, assessing your teeth, gums, and bite.

Digital X-rays and potentially advanced imaging like 3D cone-beam CT scans will be taken to evaluate your jawbone density and nerve location.

We will discuss your treatment goals, expectations, and answer all your questions about dental implants.

Step 3: Treatment Planning

Based on the examination and imaging, a personalized treatment plan will be developed specifically for you.

This plan will outline the number of implants needed, the type of restoration (crown, bridge, or denture), the timeline for the procedure, and the associated costs.

We will discuss all available options and ensure you fully understand the proposed treatment.

Step 4: Implant Placement Surgery

The surgical placement of the titanium implant post(s) into your jawbone is the next step.

This is typically performed under local anesthesia, and sedation options are available to ensure your comfort.

Our skilled surgeons will precisely place the implants in the optimal position for stability and long-term success.

Step 5: Healing Period (Osseointegration)

After the implant placement, there is a healing period called osseointegration, where the jawbone fuses directly with the titanium implant.

This process usually takes several months. During this time, you may have temporary restorations to maintain aesthetics and function.

We will provide you with detailed post-operative care instructions and schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your healing progress.

Step 6: Abutment Placement

Once osseointegration is complete, a small connector post called an abutment is attached to the implant.

The abutment serves as a base for your final restoration.

In some cases, the abutment can be placed during the initial implant surgery.

Step 7: Custom Restoration Fabrication:

  • Our dental team will take precise impressions or digital scans of your mouth to create a custom-made replacement tooth or teeth (crown, bridge, or denture).
  • These restorations are designed to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth for a seamless and natural-looking result.

Step 8: Final Restoration Placement:

  • The custom-fabricated crown, bridge, or denture is securely attached to the abutment.
  • We will make any necessary adjustments to ensure a comfortable fit, proper bite, and natural appearance.

Step 9: Post-Treatment Care and Maintenance:

  • We will provide you with detailed instructions on how to care for your dental implants to ensure their longevity.
  • Regular check-up and cleaning appointments at LA Dental are essential for monitoring the health of your implants and surrounding tissues.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are dental implants and how do they work?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots, typically made of biocompatible titanium, that are surgically placed into your jawbone. Over time, the bone fuses directly with the implant in a process called osseointegration, creating a stable and secure foundation. This stable base can then support a replacement tooth, such as a crown, bridge, or denture, providing a long-lasting and natural-feeling solution for missing teeth. Unlike traditional bridges, implants don't rely on adjacent teeth for support, and unlike dentures, they are fixed in place.

How long does the dental implant process take?

The timeline for getting dental implants can vary depending on individual factors, such as the health of your jawbone, the need for any предварительные процедуры like bone grafting, and the healing time required for osseointegration. Generally, the entire process can take anywhere from several months to a year or more. This includes the initial consultation and planning, implant placement surgery, the osseointegration period (typically 3-6 months), abutment placement, and finally, the creation and placement of your custom restoration (crown, bridge, or denture). We will provide you with a more personalized timeline during your consultation at LA Dental.

Are dental implants painful?

Most patients report that the discomfort experienced during and after dental implant surgery is manageable. The implant placement procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, so you shouldn't feel any pain during the surgery. After the procedure, you may experience some mild soreness, swelling, and bruising, which can usually be effectively managed with over-the-counter pain medication and following our post-operative care instructions. We also offer sedation options at LA Dental for patients who may feel anxious about the procedure.

How long do dental implants last?

Dental implants are considered a long-term solution for tooth loss and can last for many years, even a lifetime, with proper care and maintenance. The longevity of your dental implants depends on factors such as your oral hygiene practices (regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups), your overall health, and avoiding habits like teeth grinding or clenching. Regular visits to LA Dental for professional cleanings and check-ups are crucial for ensuring the continued health and stability of your dental implants.
