What Are Dental Implants, and Should You Get Them?

Dental implants are titanium posts that replace the roots of missing teeth and serve as a foundation for dental restorations. They’re securely anchored in your jawbone, providing a strong, stable foundation for replacement teeth. Dental implants can restore function and an attractive smile, whether you are missing a single tooth or all of them, without damaging any remaining natural teeth.

You may be a good candidate for dental implants if:

• You’ve lost one or more teeth.
• You have healthy gums and an adequate jawbone.
• You’re looking for a long-term alternative to dentures or bridges.
• You are willing to undergo oral surgery.
• You are tired of coping with the slippage and discomfort of dentures.

A Step-by-Step Guide to Dental Implant Surgery

There are four basic steps to getting dental implants that can take several months to a year. This is not an overnight solution, but one that will last for decades. For most patients, once completed, dental implants will last a lifetime.

1. The Initial Consultation: At this appointment, we’ll assess your oral health, take 3D scans, and determine the best implant plan for you.
2. Surgical Placement: On the day of your dental implant surgery, you will be given a local anesthetic, so you are relaxed and anxiety-free. Your dental implant surgeon will place the titanium post into your jawbone during a comfortable, in-office procedure.
3. Healing and Osseointegration: Over the next three to six months, the titanium implant will fuse with the surrounding bone (a process called osseointegration). This creates a stable foundation for the restorations that will be attached to the implants.
4. Final Restorations: Once the surgical site has healed and osseointegration is complete, we will connect a custom bridge, crown, or dental prosthetic that resembles your natural teeth to the implants. In most cases, these restorations are not removable except by a dental professional.

Types of Dental Implants Offered at Man Dental

We offer a full range of options for dental implants in Chino Hills depending on how many teeth need replacing, your preferences, and other factors.

• Single Tooth Implant: If you are missing only one tooth, a single implant can be placed without damaging or affecting the adjacent teeth. A crown is attached to the implant to replace the visible portion of the missing tooth.
• Multiple Tooth Implants: We may place multiple individual crowns or a dental bridge on strategically placed implants. This is an option if you are missing two to four consecutive teeth and would like a permanent, fixed bridge.
• All-On-4 Implants: These are incredibly versatile dental implants for anyone missing an entire row of upper or lower teeth. We strategically place just four implants in the upper or lower jawbone, then fasten a full arch of replacement teeth. Because we use only four implants in each arch, we can often support a full arch even if the patient has some degree of jawbone loss
• Full-Mouth Implants: For patients with significant tooth loss, we can place full-mouth dental implants using four, six, or eight implants to support an entire arch of replacement teeth. In some cases, we may have to perform some bone grafting to build up the area sufficiently to support the replacement teeth.
• Snap-On Dentures: These are a type of “hybrid” between conventional dentures and dental implants. The denture is supported by a bar or set of balls attached to the implants. The denture can snap on or off these fasteners, providing greater stability and a better fit. The dentures can be removed for cleaning and to sleep at night.

Aftercare: Taking Care of Your Dental Implants

Taking proper care of your mouth and surgical site after dental implant surgery is crucial for healing and achieving long-term success. We will provide you with detailed at-home instructions following your implant surgery. Here are a few tips for helping the healing proceed smoothly:

• Use a soft toothbrush and avoid the surgical area for the first few days.
• Stick to soft foods during the early stages of healing.
• Avoid smoking, which can slow recovery.
• Rinse the area with warm salt water to keep it clean.
• Please keep your follow-up appointments so we can monitor your healing and progress.

Dental Implant FAQs

Will I be sedated during dental implant surgery?

Yes, most patients receive local anesthesia, and other options are available for comfort and relaxation.

What can I eat after dental implant surgery?

You will need to follow a soft diet for the first few days after surgery, consisting of soft foods such as mashed potatoes, smoothies, yogurt, and soup.

Will my dental implant surgeon follow up with me after surgery?

Absolutely. Our team will schedule regular follow-ups to monitor healing and guide your recovery.

Can I smoke with dental implants?

That is a choice for you to make, but it significantly increases the risk of implant failure. It’s best to quit before and after treatment. You will also heal more quickly if you are not smoking after implant surgery.

What are some signs of dental implant rejection?

• Persistent pain
• Swollen or puffy gums
• Gum recession
• A loose implant
• Bleeding or pus around the implant

Please call our office immediately if you notice any of the above symptoms. Implant failure can happen years after they are placed.
