What Are Dental Implants?

Implant Dentistry has been became a popular treatment for missing teeth. Through the help of dentists like Dr. Vafa at Smile Angels of Beverly Hills, you can achieve the smile you deserve. Dental implants are an effective way to replace missing or damaged teeth. Once the implants are installed, they can last for a lifetime and function like your natural teeth.
Dental implants are one of the most natural replacements for missing teeth. No matter what caused your tooth loss, an implant provides a lasting, convenient replacement.

As long as you have a healthy jawbone, you can use dental implants. If you lack enough jawbone density, a bone graft can help increase the bone volume in your jaw.

Implants are more than just artificial teeth. A screw or post is inserted into your jawbone to create a root just like the ones natural teeth have. Then, an abutment and a crown go on top of the post for a beautiful, natural appearance. Like your natural teeth, your finished implant can last for a lifetime. Once it is installed, it will fuse permanently with your jaw.

Who Should Consider Dental Implants?

Many people are good candidates for implants dentistry. To get dental implants, you must be in good physical health. You can have one or more missing teeth.

When someone gets a dental implant surgery, the implant has to fuse with the jawbone. This means that a good candidate has a high enough jawbone density to support the implant. Additionally, a good candidate needs healthy gum tissue. During the initial consultation, your Beverly Hills dentist will evaluate your jawbone density to determine if you are ready for dental implants. Bone grafting is also an option if you need to increase your jawbone volume.

The Importance of Dental Implants

If you think getting dental implants is right for you, Dr. Vafa, top Beverly Hills Implant Dentist, can discuss your options and come up with a personalized treatment plan. There are a number of benefitsto getting tooth implant. Many people choose this option because it improves their overall appearance and makes speaking easier.

Dental implants are also more comfortable than dentures. Because they are a part of your mouth, they make chewing and biting easier. By getting dental implants, you can enjoy an option that is more convenient than removable dentures. They are durable and last for decades or longer. In addition, teeth implants can improve your oral health by stimulating your jawbone. Other options like a tooth-supported bridge harm neighboring teeth, but an implant does not affect your other teeth.

How Long Do Dental Implants Last?

Dr. Vafa can discuss how long your dental implants will last based on your physical health, lifestyle factors and jawbone density. For most people, dental implants will last for 20 years or longer. As long as you care for your teeth each day, the implants can even last for your entire lifetime.

While the implant can last for a lifetime, you may need to replace your crown at some point. These artificial teeth can last for 10 or 15 years before they have to be replaced. The actual implant can last for decades or longer as long as you have good oral hygiene.

The Process of Getting Dental Implants in Beverly Hills

At our Beverly Hills clinic, Dr. Vafa can cover how the entire process works. The exact steps involved depend on what kind of implant you want and if you are getting dental implants to support dentures. Your personal experience can also vary depending on if you need some form of bone grafting procedure.

During your initial consultation, Dr. Vafa will do an oral exam and use the latest imaging technology to see highly detailed images of your mouth. These images help Dr. Vafa determine which approach will work best for your oral health. Then, you will work together to determine which option you want to use.

Getting dental implants generally happens in two stages. The first stage is the actual surgery where the titanium rod is inserted and secured within the jawbone. This rod works like a root for the artificial tooth and keeps the crown in place. If you do not have a dense enough jawbone, this stage of the procedure will not work.

The next stage will happen three to six months later. During this time period, the titanium rod fuses with your jawbone and becomes a natural part of your mouth. If you have a same-day implant, you can wear a temporary crown during this time so that you do not have any gaps in your smile. After the healing process is complete, your dentist will install a customized crown for a perfect, natural fit.

Bone Grafting for Dental Implants

Getting a bone graft for your dental implants is always an option. Sometimes, people have healthy enough jawbones that can handle getting the implant right away. In other cases, Dr. Vafa has to use a bone graft to support your natural jawbone.

This process basically involves taking a piece of bone from a different part of your body or jaw. Then, this bone is transplanted onto your natural jawbone. After several months, the transplant is completely integrated into your normal jawbone. At this point, Dr. Vafa can add the implant safely and successfully.

How Much Do Dental Implants Cost in Beverly Hills, CA?

The cost of dental implants in Beverly Hills depends on which implant dentist you go to and how many implants you need. You should also consider whether you need additional services like bone grafts or bone regeneration. While getting dental implants can cost hundreds or thousands of dollars, this expense is an investment in your future. Once you have your dental implants, you can enjoy a beautiful, long-lasting smile. Unlike dentures and traditional bridges, dental implants can actually last for a lifetime.

Within Los Angeles, dental implants will generally cost around $2,000 to $5,000 per tooth. If you need extra services, the cost may be higher. This basic cost does not actually include the cost of the surgical implantation or the implant post.

Other Factors Determining the Cost of Dental Implants

Another factor that changes the price is your crown. The crowns you use can be made of different materials. They can also be made in sizes ranging from full-arch dentures to a single tooth. Because of this, the cost of your crowns will also vary significantly.

Before you invest in dental implants, spend some time researching the right dentist. You may want to ask your dentist about different financing costs that can lower the price of your procedure. In addition, you should also talk to your insurance company. While most insurers do not cover the entire cost of cosmetic procedures, some dental insurers will pay for some of the cost. It is important to know in advance if your insurance provider can help with some or all of the cost.

To make the process easier, Smile Angels of Beverly Hills provides implant dentistry consultation for all new patients.

Types of Dental Implants

There are several types of dental implants available. Once you and Dr. Vafa decide that an implant is the best option, we perform a Melissa test. This test checks to see if you have a titanium allergy. If you are allergic to titanium, our Beverly Hills clinic can give you zirconia implants instead.

There are two main kinds of dental implants:

  • Endosteal: This form of implant is placed within the jawbone. It is generally made out of titanium. Known for being the most common kind of implant, an endosteal implant has a small, screw-like shape.
  • Subperiosteal: This kind of implant is actually placed on top of the jawbone and underneath the gums. It is generally the option that dentists like Dr. Vafa use when the patient does not have a healthy enough jawbone to handle an endosteal implant.

If you cannot support an endosteal implant naturally, it is possible to restore your jawbone health. Then, you can safely get this procedure. This can be done through options like bone augmentation, a sinus lift or ridge expansion. While bone augmentation focuses on regenerating the bone, a ridge expansion works to widen small jaws for more space. With a sinus lift, the dentist adds bones underneath the sinus cavities to help rebuild your bone density.

How to Care for Dental Implants

In general, your dental implants will require the same care as your other teeth do. You should continue brushing and flossing your teeth like normal. Additionally, you should use an antibacterial mouthwash and get regular check-ups at your dentist's office. Keep in mind that single implants and overdentures require different kinds of care.

For single implants, you just have to do a few simple steps to take care of your teeth.

  • Brush around and underneath the implant's crown.
  • Ask your dentist about using an oral irrigator.
  • Brush your teeth at least twice a day.
  • Use a nylon-coated interdental brush so that you can clean difficult spots.
  • Stick to a low-abrasive toothpaste.
  • Floss each day.

For overdentures, you have different care requirements.

  • Inspect locator caps, o-rings and clips.
  • Remove and soak your dentures daily in the correct cleaner.
  • Rinse your overdentures with water before putting them in your mouth.
  • Gently brush the underside of your dentures.
  • Talk to your dentist at least once a year about potential replacement parts.

Same-Day Dental Implants Beverly Hills

Same-day implants allow you to immediately have a functioning tooth implant on the same day as your implant placement. Dr. Vafa uses a temporary tooth on top of your implant. Later, the temporary tooth will be replaced with the permanent crown. This kind of procedure is a good option if you have enough natural bone to support the pressure and placement of artificial teeth. Learn more about same day dental implants in Los Angeles, CA.

Implant-Supported Dentures

An implant-supported denture is available at the best dental clinics in Beverly Hills. This kind of procedure involves placing implants in the individual's mouth. Then, a denture is attached to the implants. The dental implants basically support the denture as it rests on the patient's gums. This technique works if you are missing teeth, but you still have enough remaining jawbone to support dental implants.

An Implant-Supported Partial Denture Helps With Maintaining Stability

Plus, the partial denture can be removable or fixed in place. With either option, the denture is stabilized through titanium implants in the jaw. Through implant-supported dentures, you can enjoy eating better and more comfortably. Dental implants also support bone regeneration, so you are less likely to lose bone mass.

Insurance and Financing for Dental Implants in Beverly Hills
