Best Dental Implants Rancho Bernardo

Dental implants are the strongest and longest-lasting tooth restoration solution. They are also the only solution that replaces the entire tooth, from root to crown, which promotes jawbone growth and optimizes oral health. Dental implants are composed of three parts:

The implant post – A titanium screw that’s surgically inserted into the jawbone; it mimics the function of the natural tooth’s root.

The dental prosthetic – the visible part that looks and functions just like a tooth; it is custom-made and custom-colored to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.

The abutment – A small connector piece that secures the prosthetic tooth to the implant post for maximum durability.

Dental implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth. They eliminate the embarrassment and social complications associated with other tooth replacement options. Dental implants are also easy to care for, as they require the same oral hygiene routine as your natural teeth. When it comes to restoring smiles, self-confidence, and quality of life, dental implants are the best tooth replacement option available.

The dental implant process differs from one person to the next depending on the scope of their treatment plan. In general, however, the process is as follows:

Assessment – Dr. Salami evaluates the patient’s mouth, teeth, and jaws to determine whether they are a good candidate for the procedure.

Preparatory procedures (if necessary) – In some cases, the dentist will determine that the patient is not quite ready and will need to undergo other procedures before the implants can be inserted. Potential preparatory procedures may be simple, such as tooth extraction, or more complex, such as bone grafting.

Dental implant surgery – An incision is made in the gum, and a hole is drilled so the implant can be inserted deep into the jawbone. A temporary crown is placed on top of the implant post so the patient can begin to enjoy the benefits of a full smile while they wait through the healing process.

Healing – Over the next several months (six or more), the implants go through a process called osseointegration, where the tissues of the jaw fuse to the implant, stabilizing it as they would a natural tooth root.

Permanent crown placement – Once the osseointegration process is complete, the patient is brought back to the office for placement of the abutment and the permanent crown.

Although the dental implant process does take some time to complete, a lifetime of smiling, eating, and speaking freely is worth the wait.

The success rate for dental implants is as high as 98%, and there’s a good reason for that. Dental implants are as close to natural teeth as you can get. Because they replace the whole tooth, root to crown, they help to support complete oral health. By replacing the tooth root, dental implants support jaw health, which in turn supports the health of the remaining teeth. It’s important to remember that proper oral hygiene is an important part of the success of dental implants. With proper care, your dental implants can last a lifetime.

The best candidate for dental implants:

The best way to determine if you’re a good candidate for dental implants is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Salami.

A complete dental implant is engineered to look, feel, and function precisely like your natural tooth. It is a comprehensive system comprised of three key components:

• The Titanium Post (The Artificial Root): A small screw made from biocompatible titanium that Dr. Salami surgically inserts into your jawbone. Because of its unique properties, this post triggers osseointegration—the process where your natural bone fuses permanently with the metal, creating an incredibly secure and stable foundation that actually helps prevent jawbone deterioration.

• The Abutment (The Connector): This essential component sits above the gumline and serves as the secure connection point between the root post and the final restoration.

• The Custom Crown (The Visible Tooth): For the final restoration, Dr. Salami utilizes advanced CEREC® or high-quality lab-made porcelain. This material replicates the natural translucency of your original tooth enamel and is custom-shaped and color-matched to your surrounding smile.

This three-part, single-tooth system ensures your permanent dental implant is indistinguishable in comfort and appearance from your own teeth.
