Why Should I Get Dental Implants?
Choosing dental implants is an investment in both your oral health and quality of life. Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, dental implants are designed to fuse with your jawbone, preventing bone loss and maintaining facial structure. This not only enhances your appearance but also supports overall oral health.
Furthermore, implants are incredibly durable, often lasting a lifetime with proper care, making them a cost-effective solution in the long run. They also eliminate the discomfort and inconvenience associated with removable dentures, offering a permanent, reliable alternative that allows you to enjoy your favorite foods without worry.

The Benefits Of Dental Implants
Natural Appearance
Dental implants look and feel like your own teeth, thanks to their custom design and placement. This ensures that they blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing a beautiful, natural-looking smile that enhances your confidence and self-esteem.
Improved Oral Health
Unlike traditional bridges, dental implants don't require altering adjacent teeth. This means more of your natural teeth are left intact, improving long-term oral health. Additionally, implants help maintain your jawbone's integrity, preventing bone loss and preserving facial structure.
Enhanced Comfort and Function
Dental implants eliminate the discomfort of removable dentures. They are securely anchored in your jaw, providing stability and comfort. This allows you to speak, eat, and smile with ease, without the worry of dentures slipping or causing irritation.
The Dental Implants Treatment Process
Initial Consultation
Initial Consultation
The journey to a restored smile begins with a comprehensive consultation at Culver Vista Dental. During this visit, Dr. Neda Shafai will evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine if dental implants are the right solution for you. This involves a detailed examination, possibly including X-rays or 3D imaging, to assess bone density and structure. Dr. Shafai will then explain the procedure, answer any questions you may have, and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Implant Placement
Implant Placement
The next step involves the surgical placement of the dental implant into the jawbone. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. Dr. Shafai will carefully insert the titanium post into the bone, where it will serve as a sturdy anchor for the replacement tooth. Over the next few months, a process called osseointegration occurs, during which the implant fuses with the jawbone, providing a stable foundation for the new tooth.
Restoration and Finalization
Restoration and Finalization
Once the implant has successfully integrated with the jawbone, the final step is the placement of the custom-made crown. Dr. Shafai will take impressions to create a crown that matches the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth. This crown is then attached to the implant, completing the restoration process. With your new dental implant, you'll enjoy a fully functional, aesthetically pleasing tooth that enhances your smile and boosts your confidence.
