Dental Implants La Verne, CA
Few experiences are more traumatizing than losing a tooth, whether to a traumatic accident, bone loss, or prolonged decay. Fortunately, there are simple, safe, and effective ways to replace missing teeth. A good option is dental implants. We are proud to offer dental implants to our patients at Elevated Dentistry in La Verne, CA. We invite you to learn more about this treatment option and to contact us directly with any additional questions.
Why should I get dental implants?
Dental implants are used to replace teeth that have been lost, broken, or extracted. Essentially an implant is a metal post that is surgically placed where a tooth is missing. This metal post serves as the root of the tooth and helps secure a crown in place. Implants can replace one tooth or multiple teeth via an implant-supported bridge or an implant-retained denture. Through implants, patients can once again enjoy a mouth full of healthy teeth that look and feel completely natural. Dental implants are an effective and durable treatment option for full aesthetic and functional restoration.

The Implant Treatment Process
Consultation
Usually, the process of getting implants will encompass at least three appointments. The first will be a consultation, allowing the dentist to determine if you are an eligible candidate for implants.
The Implant Surgery
For the dental implant surgery, you will either be put under with anesthesia or else given a simple, localized numbing agent. The dentist will then make an incision to your gum, exposing the bone beneath. This is where your implant will go. A space will be prepared and the implant placed. Your dentist will then place the implant and make sure it is steady and secure. The gums are then stitched around the implant.
The Placement of the Tooth Prosthetic
It may take a couple weeks for the gums to fully heal and 4-6 months months for the implant to integrate with the bone. Once the healing has taken place, you will return to In Motion Dentists to have the prosthetic piece attached. This is done using an abutment, which is a connective piece placed at the top of the implant. Before you leave from this appointment, your dentist will make certain that the implant and prosthesis are secure, and that they look the way they are supposed to.
Follow-Up Appointments
You can anticipate returning to your dentist for a follow-up appointment or two, which will be vital for ensuring that your implants are working properly, that the implant has fully healed, and that you feel completely satisfied with the results of your dental implant surgery. Of course, you can also call the office any time you have pressing questions or concerns.
