We specialize in providing durable and affordable Dental Implants that restore your smile and function. Our expert team uses advanced implant dentistry techniques to replace missing teeth with natural-looking and long-lasting solutions.
A dental implant is an innovative solution for replacing missing teeth that closely mimics nature’s design. The implant itself consists of a titanium screw that serves as an artificial tooth root. This biocompatible titanium component is carefully placed into the jawbone, where it undergoes a remarkable process called osseointegration – naturally fusing with the surrounding bone tissue.
This integration creates a foundation for your new tooth that’s incredibly stable and durable. Once the implant has fully integrated with your bone, it provides an anchor for a custom-made crown that looks, feels, and functions just like your natural teeth.
Different types of dental implants address various dental needs:
Titanium posts placed directly into the jawbone. They provide strong support for crowns, bridges, or dentures.
Used when patients have limited bone height, these implants rest on top of the jawbone but beneath the gum line.
Smaller in size, mini implants are less invasive and often used to stabilize dentures or replace small teeth.
If you’re considering dental implants in Anaheim, learning about these options helps you make an informed choice during your consultation.
You may be a good candidate for dental implants if you have one or more missing teeth and want a permanent solution. Ideal candidates have healthy gums and sufficient jawbone density to support the implant. If your bone is weak or deteriorated, bone grafting can help prepare your mouth for implants.
Good oral hygiene and overall health also play a key role in successful implant treatment. Conditions like uncontrolled diabetes or smoking can affect healing, so your dentist will evaluate your medical history during your consultation.
Here in Anaheim, MySmile Dental Care provides individualized assessments to determine if dental implants are the right choice to restore your smile.
Your journey to a restored smile starts with a comprehensive evaluation. During your first visit, Dr. Bhatia performs a detailed exam, including X-rays, to assess your oral health and determine if dental implants are the best option. She will also discuss alternative treatments like bridges or dentures, so you have a clear understanding of all available choices.
Many patients find the implant procedure more comfortable than expected. We numb the treatment area thoroughly to ensure your comfort throughout. In some cases, Dr. Bhatia can perform immediate implant placement, inserting the implant the same day as tooth extraction. Otherwise, when using a surgical guide, the procedure is scheduled about two weeks after planning to allow time for guide fabrication.
After placement, the implant undergoes osseointegration—a natural process where it fuses with your jawbone—over 3 to 6 months, depending on your bone quality and healing. You’ll have a follow-up about two weeks post-surgery to remove sutures and check healing. Many patients report they don’t even feel the implant during this phase, as it becomes a natural part of their mouth.
Once healing is complete and Dr. Bhatia confirms integration, we place the custom-designed crown on your implant. The crown matches the color and shape of your natural teeth, creating a seamless, natural-looking smile.
