Dental implants are more than just a tooth replacement option, they’re a new way of smiling. Strong, secure, and designed to last for decades, implants give you back what you’ve lost, without the hassle of traditional tooth replacements.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dentist Woodbridge Irvine

A dental implant is a small, biocompatible post, usually made of titanium, that’s placed into your jawbone, filling the gap in your jawbone where your natural tooth once was. Over time, your bone bonds to the implant in a process called osseointegration, locking the implant into place. Once it’s fully secure, we top it with a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture that matches your smile perfectly.

The result? A tooth replacement that looks and functions just like the real thing. No slipping, no clicking, no removing at night. Just a stable, strong tooth that feels natural.

What Makes Implants Different?

There are many options for replacing teeth, however, dental implants offer a few unique benefits that other options just can’t match:

Natural Feel: Patients often say they forget which tooth is the implant. That’s how seamless it can feel.
Longevity: With proper care, implants can last a lifetime. Compare that to a denture or bridge that might need replacing every 5-10 years.
Stability: No more slipping, clicking, or adhesives. Implants stay put, allowing you to speak and eat with confidence.
Bone Preservation: Implants stimulate your jawbone, helping prevent the bone loss that naturally occurs after a tooth goes missing.

Who’s a Good Candidate?

If you’re missing one tooth, several teeth, or even an entire arch, dental implants might be a good fit. The ideal candidate has healthy gums and enough bone to support the implant. Even if you’ve experienced bone loss, don’t worry, we have solutions like bone grafting that can make implants possible.

During your consultation at Lifted Dentistry, Dr. Park will assess your bone structure and determine the best plan of action. Our goal is to make this process feel personal and pressure-free. We’ll walk you through your options, explain the steps, and help you decide what feels right to you.

We’re not just filling a gap, we’re lifting your confidence, your smile, and your quality of life!

The Implant Process

Dentist Woodbridge Irvine

Getting a dental implant is a journey, but we’ll be with you every step of the way. Here is what you can expect during the implant process:

Restoration: Once everything is healed, we place your custom crown, bridge, or denture. You walk out with a renewed smile that’s ready for anything.
Consultation and Imaging: We take 3D scans, assess your jawbone, and create your personalized treatment plan.
Implant Placement: The implant is placed into the jawbone. The area is numbed, and sedation is available if you prefer a more relaxed experience.
Healing and Integration: Over the next few months, your bone grows around the implant. This is what gives implants their incredible strength.

Dental Implants: Frequently Asked Questions

Are dental implants painful?
How long do dental implants last?
If I have been missing a tooth for years, can I still get an implant?
Can implants replace multiple teeth?

Are dental implants painful?

Most patients say the discomfort is minimal and similar to a routine dental procedure. Local anesthesia and sedation options help keep you comfortable during placement, and recovery is usually smooth.

How long do dental implants last?

With proper care, like brushing, flossing, and regular checkups, implants can last a lifetime. Their restorations last around 10–15 years with proper care.

If I have been missing a tooth for years, can I still get an implant?

Yes! Even if it’s been a long time, dental implants may still be an option. We’ll evaluate your bone health and may recommend that you receive a bone graft.

Can implants replace multiple teeth?

Absolutely. Implants can support bridges or even full dentures, depending on how many teeth you’re missing. You don’t need one implant per tooth in most cases.
