What Are Tooth Implants?

Dental implants, also known as tooth implants, are dental restorations that replace decaying or missing teeth. Implant-supported restorations consist of an implant post, an abutment, and prosthetic teeth. We offer custom implants for one or multiple teeth. You can select an implant-supported crown, bridge, or dentures, including All-on-4® dentures.

The implant post sets these restorations apart from other options because it provides a permanent anchor for your prosthetic teeth. That means your crown, bridge, or dentures won't move or fall out. The implant post fuses with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration and continues to stimulate your jaw, which prevents bone loss and preserves your facial structure.

Types of Tooth Implants in Hollywood

We believe every smile is different and deserves individualized care. That's why we offer custom treatment plans that address your unique dental needs and smile goals. We carefully determine which dental restoration best fits your oral health concerns and craft a personalized implant-supported restoration that blends seamlessly with your smile. Here are some of the implant-supported options we offer:

Dental Crowns: Implant-supported crowns can replace a single tooth in your upper or lower arch of teeth. They consist of an implant post, an abutment, and a prosthetic tooth. We can craft an implant to replace any tooth, from molars to incisors.
Dental Bridges: Implant-supported bridges can replace multiple teeth in a consecutive row. They consist of implant-supported crowns at the beginning and end of the bridge with a prosthetic tooth called a pontic suspended between them.
Dentures: Our full-mouth dental implants, or dentures, recreate an entire arch of teeth in your upper, lower, or both arches. Implant-supported dentures consist of multiple strategically placed implant posts that anchor the dentures securely. Our custom dentures have natural-looking prosthetic teeth set in a soft, comfortable acrylic that mimics the appearance of healthy gums.
All-on-4: All-on-4 implants supported dentures consist of strategically placed implant posts that anchor beautiful custom dentures. The dentures include prosthetic teeth set in a soft acrylic that mimics the appearance of healthy gums. We work with a trusted oral surgeon to place the implant posts, and our team will craft your custom dentures to ensure they fit and feel great.

Our Dental Implant Process

Our team is passionate about helping you smile confidently, and that includes recreating your natural smile. We take the time to talk with you and ask questions to ensure we understand your needs and aesthetic ideals. The dentist will perform a thorough exam of your teeth, gums, and jaws, complete with digital x-rays and scans to gather detailed images and measurements.

Dr. Rifman will discuss the results of your exam and craft a treatment plan tailored to meet your needs and rejuvenate your smile, including any necessary pretreatments like extractions or bone grafts. We carefully match your implant-supported restoration to the size, shape, and color of your natural teeth for a beautifully blended smile.

We'll perform the implant post procedure, and you'll return home to heal and allow the titanium post to fuse with your jawbone. Once the process is complete, you'll return to our office, and we'll attach the prosthetic teeth to complete your treatment. Our team will provide helpful tips and instructions to maintain your dental implants, and then you'll leave our office ready to share your renewed smile.

Tooth Implant FAQs

Restoring your smile is an important decision, and it's normal to have questions. That's why we encourage you to share your questions and concerns. We are happy to provide the answers and resources you need to make an informed decision regarding your treatment plan. Here are some of the most common questions we receive about dental implants in Los Angeles:

How long do dental implants last?

Dental implants are durable, and the prosthetic teeth can last a decade or longer. The implant post is permanent, so you won't need to have the surgery a second time.

Do I have to change my diet with dental implants?

While you can enjoy most foods easily with dental implants, there are certain foods to avoid to increase the longevity of the prosthetic teeth on your implant-supported restoration. It's best to avoid chewing ice, hard candies, and certain nuts.

How do I take care of my dental implants?

Dental implants are easy to care for because you simply brush and floss them twice daily, just like your natural teeth. It's important to maintain your biannual dental appointments so Dr. Rifman can verify the integrity of your implant-supported crown, bridge, or dentures.
