Dental Implant FAQs

What is a Dental Implant?

The dental implant is a metal piece like a screw, located in the jaw bone or mandible in the former dental root to help replace one or more missing teeth. Implantation is made after the extraction site has healed or sometimes immediately after extraction. The process involves a small, but not very complicated surgery. After a while, another piece of metal, called abutment is added and the doctor may place a crown, bridge or denture, which replaces the tooth or teeth that are missing. The metal implants and abutments are made up of high purity titanium.

Who is a Suitable Candidate For Dental Implants?

In general, any patient who lacks one or more teeth can go for it. Each case is evaluated clinically in part, to inform the patient of how many implants would be needed and if there are other treatments required and other details like what will be the cost of treatment is provided to the patient. However, there are cases in which the patient may not be a suitable candidate for dental implants. Your dentist will be able to tell you more about it after thorough check up.

What are the Stages of Treatment? How Long Does Dental Implant Treatment Typically Last?

In the first stage, the implant is inserted in the gum bone. Once this process is complete, the gum is carefully stitched and the patient does not feel or notice anything else besides suture. This procedure takes about an hour for an average implant and a little more if you have a large number of implants. The patient may even go to work that day.

A waiting period, known as osseointegration, is required during this process. During this time, the implant settles down firmly with the bone. This process may take from three to six months. After this period, the implant and abutment is attached by screwing. Finally, prosthetic dental crowns, bridges or dentures require several sessions. The treatments are similar to natural teeth in both feel and function.

Does Dental Implant Treatment Hurt?

No. An anesthetic injection is used during the surgery and you will not feel anything.

Comparing Your Tooth Replacement Options

Most patients are aware that dental bridges and conventional dentures are the default solution for missing teeth, but bridges require adjacent healthy teeth to be present and permanently modified to act as the foundation. Dentures often become loose and slip when you eat, speak or even smile, and can also cause sores on the gums or gagging. Ultimately, neither option can offer the bone stimulation needed to maintain a healthy jawbone or the restored function you need in order to eat a varied diet. Dental implants are the modern solution designed to meet these needs, and many more!

Securely fixed to your jawbone, dental implants can restore over 99% of natural biting and chewing power. They can replace one tooth, a row of teeth, or a complete arch of missing teeth, using either single implants and crowns or a combination of dental implants and a custom, natural-looking bridge of teeth. In all cases, dental implants make it possible to eat comfortably with durable teeth, feel confident in a complete smile, improve your oral and physical health, and live an overall better quality of life. For these reasons, implants are one of the preferred solutions for replacing any number of missing teeth.

Three Steps To A New Smile

Why See an Oral Surgeon?

Receiving dental implants can significantly benefit your daily life as well as your health. However, before you commit to treatment, make sure you see an experienced oral surgeon you can trust. Although some general dentists have the experience to place dental implants, they haven’t had the specialized training of oral and maxillofacial surgeons to treat any case with ease and efficiency. Dr. Vladimir Polyakov has specific training in implant surgery and anesthesia, and he also has extensive medical training and decades of experience. That means our team welcomes even those with pre-existing medical conditions and those in need of complex care that many dentists turn away. We frequently see patients with advanced bone loss, severe dental anxiety or facial trauma. We welcome you to learn more about our surgical team in the West Valley/Reseda, CA, and see how their specialized care can transform your oral health, overall health and quality of life.

The Cost of Dental Implants

As well as the lasting, life-changing advantages that dental implants offer, they also require higher initial cost than traditional alternatives. However, since they are the closest option to natural teeth, the higher cost of dental implants is ultimately worth it, due to the dramatic benefits you’ll receive in all areas of your life.
