The Importance of Replacing Missing Teeth
Replacing missing teeth is not only vital for aesthetic reasons but also for your overall oral health. Missing teeth can lead to a range of problems, including shifting of adjacent teeth, loss of jawbone density, changes in bite, and increased risk for periodontal disease. Dental implants provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth, allowing you to speak, eat, and smile with confidence.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone beneath your gums. Once in place, they allow your dentist to mount replacement teeth onto them. Because implants fuse to your jawbone, they provide stable support for artificial teeth, ensuring that dentures and bridges mounted to implants won't slip or shift in your mouth — a significant advantage, particularly when eating and speaking.
How Do Dental Implants Work?
The success of dental implants lies in their ability to fuse with your jawbone, a process known as osseointegration. This fusion creates a sturdy base for supporting artificial teeth, including crowns, bridges, or dentures, restoring the functionality and aesthetics of your smile.
Signs It's Time to Consider Dental Implants
- You have one or more missing teeth.
- You are dissatisfied with your dentures or bridgework.
- You have a jawbone that's reached full growth.
- You have adequate bone to secure the implants or are eligible for a bone graft.
- You seek a more permanent solution to tooth replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are a permanent solution for replacing missing teeth. They consist of a titanium post that's surgically inserted into the jawbone, acting as an artificial root. Once the post integrates with the bone, a crown is attached, providing a natural-looking and functional tooth replacement.
How do dental implants work?
Dental implants work by mimicking the structure of natural teeth. The titanium post integrates with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration, creating a stable foundation. An abutment is then placed on the post to hold the custom-made crown, which is designed to match your natural teeth in color and shape.
What are the benefits of dental implants?
Dental implants offer several benefits, including:
- Improved appearance and confidence
- Enhanced chewing and speaking ability
- Prevention of bone loss in the jaw
- Longevity and durability
- Maintenance of facial structure
- No damage to adjacent teeth
Who is a candidate for dental implants?
Most people who are missing one or more teeth and are in good general and oral health are candidates for dental implants. Adequate bone density is required to support the implant, and healthy gums are essential for success. A comprehensive evaluation at Huntington Beach Dental & Braces will determine your suitability.
How long does the dental implant process take?
The dental implant process can vary, typically spanning several months. This includes the initial consultation, implant placement, healing period for osseointegration, and the placement of the abutment and crown. Each patient's timeline is unique, depending on individual healing and treatment requirements.
Is the dental implant procedure painful?
Patients are usually surprised at how minimal discomfort there is during and after the dental implant procedure. Local anesthesia is used during surgery, and most patients report feeling less pain than they anticipated, easily managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
How do I care for my dental implants?
Dental implants require the same care as natural teeth, including brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups. With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them an excellent investment in your oral health.
How much do dental implants cost?
The cost of dental implants can vary based on the specifics of your case, such as the number of implants needed and any additional procedures. Huntington Beach Dental & Braces offers transparent pricing and flexible financing options, including complimentary implant consultations, to make dental implants accessible to our patients.
