Dental implants are a long-term solution for restoring missing teeth with replacement teeth that look, feel, and function naturally.
Whether you are missing a single tooth, multiple teeth, or even an entire arch of teeth, dental implants may be the solution for you. Listen to patients share their dental implant experience at Placer Oral & Dental Implant Surgery.
Dental implants are a long-term, complete tooth replacement solution. They restore the look, feel, and function of a natural tooth while preserving bone health in the jaw. You can receive a single implant anywhere in the mouth where a tooth is missing, badly damaged, or if there is a tooth you would simply like to replace. After receiving a dental implant, you’ll find that your new teeth look and feel just like natural teeth.
A dental implant has three parts:
Dental implants offer many advantages over traditional tooth replacement options, including:

Dental implants are enjoyed by many because they look, feel, and function like natural teeth. They are an investment in your oral health and can last a lifetime when they are taken care of properly. While removable dentures and bridges can also restore your smile’s appearance, they do not fuse to the jaw bone and prevent bone loss.
Many patients find removable oral appliances clunky and embarrassing. They often require special rinses and must be replaced every few years. Dental implants, however, remain in the mouth at all times. Simply brush and floss them along with your other teeth to maintain good oral hygiene and prevent periodontal disease. For beautiful results that function and remain in place, patients turn to dental implants.
Patients who currently wear dentures can replace their dentures with dental implants. In doing so, you can eliminate the discomfort and inconvenience associated with traditional dentures. Dental implants prevent jaw bone loss, which maintains facial structure, while dentures do not prevent bone loss and can lead to facial sagging.
This treatment, known as full-arch restoration, uses multiple dental implant posts to secure a fixed prosthesis. With a higher level of stability, you regain full function of your teeth and can enjoy eating and speaking with confidence. Your replacement teeth stay in your mouth at all times and will not need replacing as long as you properly care for your prosthesis.

One of the biggest benefits of dental implants is that they are a long-term solution. With proper care, they can last a lifetime. However, children’s bones and facial structures are constantly growing and developing; many oral surgeons will recommend placing a dental implant once they have stopped growing. In general, this is around the age of 16 for girls and 18 for boys.
The length of time depends on factors such as lifestyle, current oral health condition, if additional procedures are needed, and more. On average, patients find their dental implant treatment takes a few months to a year.
Because an oral and maxillofacial surgeon has surgical training and specializes in implant dentistry, they are the highly qualified experts to perform dental implant procedures. Dental implant treatment is often a joint effort between an oral surgeon, who places the implant post, and a restorative dentist, who creates the final crown.
If there is not enough bone in your jaw, bone grafting may be necessary. Bone grafts can restore bone to a desired area, making more patients candidates for dental implants.
The recovery process following an oral surgery procedure will vary. In general, patients require a few days’ rest before they can get back to their normal activities and routine. You can optimize your healing and minimize your risk of post-surgical complications by following all pre-operative and post-operative instructions that your oral surgeon provided to you.
