​Dental Implants
Dental implants are one of the most popular restorative procedures today—and for good reason! They provide a reliable solution for replacing missing teeth. But with so many oral care specialists offering dental implants across the country, how do you choose the right one?

​Create a Stable Foundation for Your Missing Teeth
Dental implants serve as artificial tooth roots, securely placed into the jawbone to support a dental prosthesis such as a crown, bridge, denture, or full-arch restoration. Made from biocompatible titanium, these implants naturally fuse with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration. This fusion creates a strong, stable foundation for your new teeth, ensuring durability, functionality, and a natural appearance.

​What are the Benefits of Dental Implants?
​
-
Improved oral health: Because dental implants fuse with your jawbone, they stimulate bone growth and help maintain the health of your jaw and surrounding teeth.
-
Improved appearance: Designed to look and feel like real teeth, dental implants restore your smile with a seamless, natural look.
-
Improved speech: Unlike removable dentures, implants stay securely in place, allowing you to speak clearly without the worry of slipping or shifting.
-
Permanence: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a durable and reliable tooth replacement option.
​The Dental Implant Process
The first step in your dental implant journey is a consultation with Dr. Reyes, a renowned Periodontist. During this visit, we will thoroughly evaluate your mouth and jawbone to determine whether you are suitable for implants. Once you’re approved for treatment, the next step is the implant placement surgery, a precise and efficient procedure performed by Dr. Reyes in a single visit.
-
Incision & placement: Dr. Reyes will begin by making a small incision in the gum tissue to access the jawbone. The implant is then carefully placed into the bone.
-
Healing abutment or prosthetic: Depending on your plan, the implant will be covered with either a healing abutment or a temporary prosthetic to protect the area as it heals.
-
Osseointegration & final restoration: Over the next few months, the implant will integrate with your jawbone. Once healing is complete, a custom permanent prosthetic is placed on top.

​Am I a Candidate for Dental Implants?
It’s essential to schedule a personalized consultation with Dr. Reyes to determine if dental implants are the right choice for you. This one-on-one meeting is crucial as numerous individual factors come into play when considering dental implants. Take this opportunity to discuss your specific goals with Dr. Reyes.

​Why Choose Dental Implants Over Dentures?
Traditional dentures offer a solution for patients missing most or all of their teeth, yet they have limitations. In contrast, the implant-supported dentures patients depend on provide enhanced stability, significantly improving the ease of eating and speaking. Additionally, these advanced dentures contribute to better long-term oral health outcomes.
​Why Choose Dental Implants Over Dental Bridges?
Dental implants and dental bridges are good solutions when replacing individual teeth. However, a dental bridge uses two surrounding teeth for support to bridge the gap. Dental implants replace the tooth without affecting surrounding teeth and may be the only option if you don’t have two strong, healthy teeth to provide support.
​Can Dental Implants Replace an Entire Smile?
Yes, they can! All-on-4 dental implants are a highly sought-after method for replacing a full set of teeth. This technique involves strategically placing four dental implants in each arch, providing robust support for an entire arch of replacement teeth. With this approach, a complete smile restoration requires only eight implants.
​Can Dental Implants Replace Individual Missing Teeth?
Dental implants are highly versatile. A single dental implant can replace an individual tooth, offering an effective and long-lasting alternative to dental bridges that help support orthodontic and jaw health.

​Dental Implant FAQs
Do Dental Implants Look and Function Like Natural Teeth?
Yes, with dental implants, patients can expect exceptional tooth replacements that excel in form and function. These implants boast a sturdy foundation, ensuring superior performance, while high-quality porcelain delivers a visually stunning finish.
Are There Different Types of Tooth Implants Beverly Hills Residents Can Choose From?
Yes, dental implants can support a variety of different restorations, including crowns and full arch replacements. These can be made from various materials, including porcelain and other ceramics. You can trust Dr. Reyes to provide the porcelain and ceramic dental implants patients rely on for natural-looking, long-lasting results.
How Do I Prepare for Getting Dental Implants?
A consultation with Dr. Reyes is the first step on your journey to dental implants and aesthetics. After that, your treatment plan may vary depending on your individual needs. You may need procedures to prepare for dental implants, such as bone grafting, extraction, or gum disease treatment.
How Long Do Dental Implants Last?
The titanium implant posts are designed to last for the entirety of a patient’s lifetime, offering enduring support. The dental restorations they uphold, including crowns and full arch replacements, can remain in excellent condition for decades with appropriate care and maintenance.
Are Dental Implants Safe?
Yes, dental implants are made of biocompatible titanium, similar to other prosthetics like artificial hips. They are non-toxic and integrate with bone tissue to form a solid, long-lasting bond.
How Do I Care for Dental Implants?
Maintaining dental implants involves the same basic care as for natural teeth. It’s important to continue regular brushing and flossing routines. Additionally, it’s crucial to use your teeth solely for their intended purpose, which is eating, and avoid habits like opening packages or bottles with your teeth to ensure the longevity of the implants.
How Will Dental Implants Affect My Diet?
Typically, with dental implants, you can adhere to your usual diet. In fact, they significantly enhance the range of foods you can comfortably and confidently consume compared to traditional dentures. Although avoiding habits like chewing ice or biting fingernails is advisable, dental implants allow you to relish a diverse and complete diet.
Will I Be Able to Speak Naturally With Dental Implants?
Absolutely! Dental implants are an outstanding choice for restoring a natural feel similar to your teeth. Dental implants remain firmly in place, unlike traditional dentures, which can slip and affect speech. This stability enables you to speak more confidently and naturally, removing any worries about speech during social interactions.
Will My Dental Implants Look Like Real Teeth?
Absolutely! Our team offers dental implants to patients to restore their smiles, ensuring stunning, natural-looking results. The crowns or full arch replacements are expertly crafted to match the shade and translucency of natural enamel. Each restoration is meticulously customized to complement and enhance your unique smile.
Will I Need Additional Procedures?
Full-mouth dental implants that patients receive are a reliable solution for those looking to completely restore their smiles. However, these comprehensive procedures may sometimes necessitate additional treatments. To determine if you require extraction, bone grafting, or other preparatory procedures before your implant surgery, schedule a consultation with Dr. Reyes. He will provide a thorough assessment to ensure the best approach for your full-mouth dental implant needs.
How Long Does It Take to Get Dental Implants?
Each treatment plan for dental implants that patients receive is meticulously tailored to meet the specific needs of the patient. Typically, the process from implant surgery to the final placement of the crown or full arch restoration spans about four months. This duration is necessary to ensure the implants fully integrate with the jawbone. Despite this waiting period, patients generally experience a swift recovery, feeling comfortable and fine within just a few days post-surgery.
