Most adults with one or more missing teeth can be candidates for dental implants, but a few factors determine eligibility:
Healthy Gums & Jawbone – Adequate bone density is necessary for implant support. Bone grafting may be an option for those with insufficient bone.
No Severe Medical Conditions – Conditions like uncontrolled diabetes or heavy smoking may affect healing.
Commitment to Oral Hygiene – Proper dental care ensures the longevity of your implants.
Dental implants are widely recognized as the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. They are engineered to function like natural teeth and are supported by decades of research, clinical trials, and best-practice guidelines in dentistry. Dental Implants have 3 main components:
Implant Fixture (Implant Body)
The fixture is a screw-like post, typically made from titanium or titanium alloys. Surgically placed into the jawbone, the fixture acts as the root of the artificial tooth. Its stability is critical to the overall success of the implant system.
Abutment
The abutment is the connector that attaches directly to the implant fixture. Serving as an intermediary, the abutment supports the prosthetic crown and ensures a secure and precise connection between the implant and the visible restoration.
Prosthetic Crown (Artificial Tooth)
The crown is the visible component that replicates the appearance and function of a natural tooth. Beyond aesthetics, the crown restores normal chewing function and speech. Its design is based on rigorous protocols that ensure both durability and natural appearance.
Dental implants can be used to replace a single tooth or can be used as a support to replace multiple teeth.
For patients missing a single tooth, a single-tooth implant is the best solution. It consists of a titanium post that replaces the root of the missing tooth and a custom crown that mimics the appearance of a natural tooth.
The All-on-4 dental implant system is an advanced solution for patients missing most or all of their teeth. This technique involves placing four implants in strategic positions to support a full arch of replacement teeth. It is a cost-effective and efficient alternative to traditional dentures, offering greater stability and a natural appearance.
Choosing dental implants over other tooth replacement options offers numerous advantages:
Unlike dentures, which may need replacement every few years, dental implants can last a lifetime with proper care.
Dental implants look, feel, and function just like natural teeth, giving you a seamless and confident smile.
When a tooth is lost, the jawbone begins to deteriorate. Dental implants stimulate bone growth, preserving facial structure and preventing sunken cheeks.
Since they are securely anchored, dental implants eliminate the discomfort of loose dentures, making it easier to eat and speak clearly.
Unlike dental bridges, implants don’t rely on neighboring teeth for support, preserving their health.
There are several steps involved in getting dental implants. This process requires commitment because it can take a minimum of several months and up to a year or more, depending on how long healing takes between steps.
Your journey begins with a thorough evaluation. During this first visit, Dr. Shahbazyan examines your oral health, takes detailed x-rays, and discusses your dental history, needs, and treatment goals. This comprehensive assessment allows us to determine if dental implants are the right solution and whether any additional procedures are required.
Our knowledgeable office staff also contacts your insurance provider to explore coverage options. While many insurance plans may offer limited implant coverage, we are committed to helping you access affordable care through flexible financing options, including our In-House Dental Savings Plan.
For many patients, additional preparatory procedures are essential before implant placement. These may include:
Once your mouth is adequately prepared and healed, the implant placement procedure begins. This involves:
For patients who only require extractions, it might be possible to place the implant on the same day. However, most cases benefit from a staged approach to ensure optimal stability and long-term success.
During the healing phase, a process called osseointegration occurs, whereby the jawbone naturally fuses with the implant. This critical period can span several months, and maintaining a liquid or soft food diet is essential to prevent any movement of the implant.
Once osseointegration confirms that the implant is securely anchored, an abutment is attached. This small connector serves as the foundation for the final restoration:
After the abutment is in place and the gums have healed:
The end result is a natural-looking, fully functional smile that restores both your oral health and self-confidence.
Proper care following your dental implant procedure is critical to ensure a smooth and successful recovery. Our detailed aftercare instructions include:
Our commitment to excellence means we’re with you every step of the way—from your initial consultation through the final restoration—ensuring that you receive not only the highest standard of care but also the personalized attention you deserve.
The cost of dental implants can vary based on several factors, including:
The average cost of a single dental implant can range between $3,000 to $5,000, including surgery, abutment, and crown. While implants may seem costly upfront, they are a long-term investment in oral health, reducing future dental expenses linked to missing teeth and bone loss.
