What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant or tooth implant is meant to replace teeth that are lost or missing. Each implant consists of a fake tooth, and a biocompatible “root” made from titanium that is attached to the bone – just like a natural tooth. Tooth implants can be applied to replace one or two missing teeth, an entire arch of teeth, and even an entire smile. Implants are typically considered to be a part of the cosmetic dentistry family.

How Do Tooth Implants Work?

Tooth implants are a permanent solution to missing teeth and provide a very strong foundation for new teeth in the jawbone. When the root is not replaced from a missing tooth, the jawbone sinks where the tooth used to be and can shrink the bone. This is known as “bone resorption,” which alters the entire shape of your face and makes you look older. Dentures typically become loose as your jawbone shrinks, and your gums recede. Tooth implants are permanent, and allow you to bite, chew, and smile efficiently.For maximum effect, implants may be used in conjunction with other restorative dental procedures.

Are Dental Implants Used For One Tooth Or Many Teeth?

A dental implant can hold more than one tooth, in what we call a “dental bridge,” or just one tooth, a “dental crown.” Several teeth can be replaced with a dental bridge, in a customized way depending on the shape of your jaw and smile:
Those who opt for tooth implants can choose between a fixed dental bridge, or a hybrid dental bridge that “snaps” onto the implant abutments.

What Are All-On-4 Dental Implants?

All on four dental implants is a way for a patient to have beautiful teeth and a beautiful smile in one day at a relatively in expensive price. Many patients suffer from a not so desiring smile, gum disease, and broken fillings and a bad bite do not have the money to restore their mouth properly. This “re-organized” approach allows the patient to have the teeth and smile they always dreamed of having.

What Are The Benefits Of All-On-Four Implants?

The advantages of this procedure are that it’s relatively inexpensive, it’s quick as it happens in one day. Most importantly, it ends the nightmare of suffering from teeth that are constantly failing and costing thousands of dollars to restore.

How Many Visits Are Required To Replace Missing Teeth?

Tooth implants can be applied in just one visit. During the first visit, we will place the titanium root with a temporary tooth on top. We call this procedure “Teeth in a Day.” A single implant procedure can be completed in less than one hour.

What Does The Tooth Implant Recovery Process Look Like?

The total healing time can take 3 months, during which you can wear a natural-looking provisional tooth. During this time, osseointegration will occur, in which the bone becomes one with the new root. Once the bone has healed, an abutment is attached to the implant and the crown or bridge is placed over it.

At this time, most insurance providers do not cover the cost of dental implants. We encourage patients to contact their insurance company directly to inquire about their coverage. Some companies extend benefits for certain aspects of the procedure. For example, a patient may be responsible for the implant posts and surgery costs but may have coverage for the crown, bridge, or denture that will be seated on the implant or implants. 

For more information about the dental implant cost in Beverly Hills, contact us or your insurance provider.

Typically, we do not expect to replace dental implants that have integrated successfully into the jawbone. Osseointegration is the process of bone healing and surrounding the implant posts with healthy bone. After that point, chewing sends vibrations through the implant just as this action would with natural roots. 

These vibrations reverberate into the jawbone, stimulating bone regeneration. With this process occurring as it should, dental implants should remain intact and functional for many years. Bone loss is always a concern.
