Dental Implants
Dental implants provide a durable and natural-looking solution for missing teeth. They preserve jawbone health, improve chewing and speech, and provide long-term stability. With proper care, implants enhance comfort, confidence, and overall oral function, making them a trusted choice for lasting tooth replacement.
Dental Implants in Orange and Villa Park, CA
Dental implants are special posts made of titanium alloy that are surgically placed into the jawbone. Implants are used to replace individual missing teeth, support partial dentures, or to support full all-on-4 implants.
Implants are used to restore appearance, improve chewing function, and protect oral health by preventing bone loss. The process typically involves an initial evaluation, implant placement, a healing period for integration, and finally attaching a custom crown that blends seamlessly with your smile.

Common Questions
-
What aftercare is needed following dental implant placement?
After dental implant placement, proper aftercare is essential to ensure successful healing:
- Patients should avoid hard, chewy, or very hot foods for several days and refrain from smoking, which can slow recovery.
- Good oral hygiene is critical—gently brush the area and use any prescribed rinses to keep the site clean without disturbing the implant.
- Minor swelling or discomfort is normal, but follow all medication and care instructions provided by your dental team.
- Attending scheduled follow-up visits allows us to monitor healing and make any necessary adjustments.
With careful attention, patients can support optimal integration and long-term implant success.

How long do dental implants last?
Dental implants are designed to be a long-lasting, reliable solution for missing teeth. With proper care, they can often last 15 years or longer, and many patients enjoy results that last a lifetime. Because implants integrate with the jawbone, they provide exceptional stability and help preserve oral health. Their longevity depends on factors such as overall health, oral hygiene habits, and routine dental checkups.
By maintaining regular cleanings and following your dentist’s recommendations, you can protect your investment and ensure your implants remain strong, functional, and natural-looking for many years.
-
Are dental implants painful?
Most patients are pleasantly surprised by the minimal discomfort they experience during dental implant treatment. With modern anesthesia and gentle techniques, the procedure itself is typically painless. Some mild soreness or swelling may occur afterward, but this is usually manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers and typically resolves within a short recovery period.
-
When is bone graft necessary for implant placement?
Bone grafts are often recommended when the jawbone lacks sufficient density or volume to support a dental implant securely in place. Bone loss may occur due to missing teeth, periodontal disease, or injury. A graft helps rebuild and strengthen the area, creating a stable foundation for successful implant placement. By restoring the jawbone to proper health and structure, bone grafting increases implant longevity and improves overall treatment outcomes, ensuring patients receive a strong, functional, and natural-looking restoration.
