What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are permanent tooth replacements that provide the closest solution to natural teeth. Your Rancho Santa Margarita dentist, Dr. Lari, surgically places titanium posts into your jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots. These posts fuse with your bone, creating a stable foundation for custom-crafted crowns that match your natural teeth perfectly.

What are the Benefits of Dental Implants?

1.

Permanent Solution

Implants are a long-lasting solution that can last a lifetime with proper care, unlike bridges or dentures that may need replacement over time.

2.

Natural Look and Feel

Our custom-designed implants match your natural teeth in color, shape, and size, while also functioning just like real teeth – allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with complete confidence.

3.

Preserves Jawbone & Facial Structure

Implants stimulate your jawbone just like natural tooth roots, preventing bone loss and maintaining your facial structure for years to come.

4.

Improved Self-Esteem

A complete and healthy smile can significantly improve your self-esteem and quality of life.

Studies have shown a success rate of over 95% for the implant restoration process.

Why are Implants So Successful?

Unlike other types of dental restorations, dental implants are permanently supported by your bone, similar to natural teeth. Because bone structures fuse with the surface of the implant’s biocompatible design, the restoration becomes a permanent part of your new smile. Implants have the highest success rate of any modern dental restoration.

Dental Implant Procedure: What to Expect

Consultation & 3D Imaging

Dr. Lari will conduct a thorough examination, including X-rays and possibly 3D imaging, to assess your bone density and determine if you are a candidate for implants.

Implant Placement

The implant is surgically placed into the jawbone. A temporary crown or denture may be placed while the implant heals.

Over the next few months, the implant will fuse with the jawbone through osseointegration.

Abutment Placement

Once the implant has fully healed, an abutment is attached to connect the implant to the crown.

Restoration Attachment

The final crown (replacement tooth) is attached to the abutment, completing the restoration.

Am I A Candidate for Dental Implants?

Most people in good general health are candidates for dental implants. However, certain factors, such as heavy smoking, uncontrolled diabetes, or certain medical conditions, may affect the success of implant placement. Sufficient bone density is also essential for successful osseointegration. If you have experienced bone loss, a bone graft may be necessary before implant placement. Dr. Lari will determine if you are a suitable candidate for dental implants during your initial evaluation.

Common Types of Dental Implant Treatment

Single-Tooth Replacement

Single-Tooth Replacement

Single-tooth implants are perfect for replacing one missing tooth. A single titanium post is placed in the bone, topped with a custom-made crown that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth. This option preserves the integrity of adjacent teeth and prevents bone loss.
Multi-Tooth Implant Bridges

Multi-Tooth Implant Bridges

Instead of wearing a partial denture or traditional tooth-supported bridge, a fixed bridge can be installed on top of a pair of dental implants. Implant bridges are ideal for 3-4 missing teeth.
Full Arch All-on-4 Implants

All-on-4 Implants

The All-on-4 method is an innovative solution for patients who need to replace an entire arch of teeth. This technique uses four strategically placed implants to support a full arch of prosthetic teeth. All-on-4 implants offer a permanent, non-removable alternative to dentures, giving you a natural-looking and fully functional smile.
Implant Supported Dentures (Overdentures)

Implant Supported Dentures

Sometimes called “snap-on” or “clip-in” dentures, overdentures are removable but use 2-4 implants for added reinforcement throughout the day. No messy pastes or adhesives are needed.

Definition of common dental implants terminology

Abutment: The abutment is the connector piece between a dental implant and the crown.

Osseointegration: Osseointegration is the process by which your dental implant bonds and integrates with the surrounding bone.

Titanium: This is a strong metal that is often used for implants. It is also the same material used to make airplane wings, so you know it is very strong. This metal is also lightweight, which makes it perfect for implants.

Bone Graft: A dental bone graft is a procedure to add more bone in a part of the jaw where bone has been lost or where additional support is needed.

Dental Crown: A crown is an artificial tooth-shaped “cap” that is placed over the top of the implant to provide an aesthetically pleasing and fully-functional tooth.

Dentures: A removable plate or frame holding one or more artificial teeth.
