Tooth loss affects the appearance of your smile and makes it difficult to speak and chew comfortably.

Thanks to modern dentistry, tooth loss can be addressed with dental implants that replace tooth roots and support restorations.

At Elegant Dental Care in Loma Linda, CA, our dentists restore smiles using dental implants. Here’s what implants can do for you…

Traditional dental implants are titanium posts that replace tooth roots. A dentist or oral surgeon places dental implants surgically through the gums and into the jawbone. The medical-grade titanium used in dental implants fuses permanently to the jawbone in a process called osseointegration. Once implants are securely rooted in the bone, they serve as support to dental restorations like dentures, bridges, and crowns. The many benefits of this solution include:

Dr. Park and his team love treating our patients with dental implants because of the valuable differences implants can make in their quality of life.

GENUINE!

I’ve been a patient here at elegant dental since 2011 to complete an implant my previous dentist could not complete. I was so impressed with the genuine care and concern I received, I actually changed my insurance to become a full on patient. I have never been so pleased with a dentist as I am with Dr. Park and his team.

LIKE THIER OWN FAMILY!

They have treated me as how they would treat their own family. This is the first dentist that I have been to, (and it has been many) that the dentist personally called me at home the evening after the implant procedure to see how I was doing. They are always friendly and the staff is very professional. I would recommend them.

Traditional dental implant treatment can take several months from the beginning of treatment to the final placement of the restoration. Other varieties of implants such as mini dental implants or the Ultratooth implant can take less time. When you decide to restore your smile with traditional dental implants, you can generally expect a treatment timeline like this:

Consultation

During a free dental implant consultation at our dental office in Loma Linda, CA, our dentists will examine your bite, the site of your missing tooth, the bone density of your jaw, and other factors to determine if implants are right for you. If you choose to proceed with implant dentistry, we can schedule your first surgery.

Implant Placement

During the first procedure, the dentist will create small incisions in your gums in order to place the titanium implants. Once the implants are inserted into the bone, the incisions are closed. A temporary restoration can be placed so your smile will be gap-free during recovery.

First Healing Period

A waiting period of approximately four to six months is required for the titanium to fuse to the bone. Once the dentist determines that the implant is secure, the second procedure can be scheduled.

Abutment Placement

During this procedure, a small metal connector known as an abutment is attached to the top of the implant.

Second Healing Period

After abutment placement, a second healing period of a few weeks is required for the gum tissue to heal around the abutment.

Restoration Placement

A custom-crafted denture, bridge, or crown is attached to the abutment. The restoration will look indistinguishable from natural teeth, so others will notice a beautiful smile rather than dental work.

BEST STAFF EVER!

Got mini implants done it was the best service and experience I ever got. Dr. Park and staff are the best I highly recommend this dental office.

The needs of every dental patient are unique, which is why we offer several types of dental implants. If you have a missing tooth, schedule a consultation with our team so we can determine which kind of implant will be best for you. The implant dentistry options we offer to patients throughout San Bernardino and Redlands include:

Mini dental implants are smaller in diameter than regular implants and are a good alternative for patients who do not have sufficient bone density to undergo traditional implant placement.

If you are missing a full arch of teeth, you do not need an individual implant for every single missing tooth. Rather, a full denture can be securely attached to only four implants using the All-on-4 treatment method.

Developments in dentistry continually allow dentists to use less invasive techniques during implant surgery. Some of the newer implant designs are able to be inserted into the jawbone in less time and with less discomfort than ever before.

Elegant Dental Care in Loma Linda, CA, is a certified provider of the Ultratooth implant. If you lose a front tooth, we are able to place a fully-functioning restoration in just one office visit using this solution.

For patients concerned about metal allergies, we offer dental implants made of white zirconia.
