Dental Implants Central Coast

Dental implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel and function like natural teeth. The person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat and can smile with confidence, knowing that teeth appear natural and that facial contours will be preserved.

Teeth implant procedure

The implants are tiny titanium posts that are placed into the jaw bone where teeth are missing. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for the artificial tooth or teeth. In addition, dental implant treatments can help preserve facial structure, preventing the bone deterioration which occurs when teeth are missing.

Evaluation for Dental Implants

If, like many others, you feel implant dentistry is the choice for you, we ask that you undergo a dental/ radiographic examination and health history. During these consultation visits, your specific needs and considerations will be addressed by our implant dentist. Your questions and concerns are important to us and our team will work with you very closely to help make your procedure a success.

Dental Implant Procedure

Dental implants are metal anchors, which act as tooth root substitutes. They are surgically placed into the jaw bone. Small posts are then attached to the implant, which protrudes through the gums. These posts provide stable anchors for artificial replacement teeth.

For most patients, the placement of dental implants involves two surgical procedures. First, dental implants are placed within your jaw bone. For the first three to six months following dental implant surgery, the implants are beneath the surface of the gums, gradually bonding with the jaw bone.

You should be able to wear temporary dentures and eat a soft diet during this time. 

After the dental implant has bonded to the jaw bone, the second phase begins. The dentist will uncover the implants and attach a small healing collar. An impression must be taken. Then posts or attachments can be connected to the implants.

The replacement teeth are then made over the posts or attachments. The entire procedure usually takes six to eight months. Most patients do not experience any disruption in their daily life.
