Your Solution for Missing Teeth in Murrieta, CA
What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a revolutionary advancement in dental care. They consist of titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone, which fuse with the bone to act as a stable foundation for replacement teeth. This process, known as osseointegration, allows for a secure and permanent solution for missing teeth.
A Long-term Solution for Missing Teeth
Dental implants are not just a cosmetic solution; they are a functional restoration that can significantly improve your oral health and overall well-being. They are uniquely capable of preventing the bone loss and facial sagging that can accompany missing teeth, helping to maintain your facial structure and oral health.
The Benefits of Choosing Dental Implants
- Natural Look and Feel: Implants are designed to look, feel, and function like your natural teeth, providing a seamless addition to your smile.
- Improved Oral Health: Unlike other tooth replacement options, implants do not require altering neighboring teeth, preserving more of your natural tooth structure.
- Durability and Reliability: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a long-term investment in your oral health.
- Prevention of Bone Loss: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss that often occurs with missing teeth.
- Enhanced Quality of Life: Regain the ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence, improving your overall quality of life.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are dental implants, and how do they work?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots, typically made of titanium, that are surgically implanted into the jawbone. Over time, they fuse with the bone, creating a sturdy foundation for artificial teeth, like crowns, bridges, or dentures. This fusion process, known as osseointegration, provides stable support for artificial teeth, mimicking the strength and function of natural teeth.
Who is a good candidate for dental implants?
Most adults with good general health and sufficient jawbone to support implants are candidates for dental implants. Ideal candidates have healthy gums and are committed to maintaining good oral hygiene and regular dental visits. Situations like uncontrolled chronic disorders, heavy smoking, or alcohol abuse may affect the success of implants and need to be evaluated individually.
How long does the dental implant process take?
The duration of the dental implant process can vary depending on individual circumstances. Typically, it involves several phases, including initial consultation, implant placement, healing period (which can last several months), and the placement of the artificial tooth. The entire process may take anywhere from a few months to over a year.
Are dental implants painful?
Most patients report that the discomfort associated with dental implant surgery is minimal and manageable. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and sedation, and post-operative pain can generally be controlled with over-the-counter pain medication.
How do I care for my dental implants?
Caring for dental implants involves the same good oral hygiene practices used for natural teeth. This includes regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups. Proper care ensures the longevity and success of your implants.
Do dental insurance plans cover dental implants?
Dental insurance coverage for implants varies by plan. Some insurance plans may cover a portion of the cost, but it's important to review your specific policy or consult with our office staff who can assist in determining your coverage.
What financing options are available for dental implants?
Understanding that dental implants are a significant investment, we offer various financing options to make the treatment more accessible. Our office provides payment plans and works with multiple financing providers. We are committed to helping you find a solution that fits your budget, ensuring you can receive the care you need without financial stress.
How successful are dental implants?
Dental implants have a high success rate, often exceeding 95%. Factors contributing to their success include proper placement, patient’s overall health, and diligent oral hygiene. Implants can last many years, often a lifetime, when cared for properly.
Will dental implants look like my natural teeth?
Yes, one of the major benefits of dental implants is their natural appearance. The visible part of the implant, typically a crown, is custom-made to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless blend with your smile.
Can dental implants help if I have full dentures?
Absolutely. Dental implants can be used to provide a secure foundation for full dentures, improving stability and comfort. This can significantly enhance your ability to eat and speak, compared to traditional dentures.
