Dental Implant (Tooth Implant) replaces missing teeth. Dental implants may treat tooth loss, which is most often brought on in adults by accidents, periodontal disease, and tooth decay. At Laguna Dental Center, Dr. Ronald Ayzin has been performing Dental Implant Procedures since 2016. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Ronald Ayzin to discuss the kinds and prices of Same Day Dental Implants and Full Mouth Dental Implants. We can go through the advantages of dental implants and any discomfort concerns in detail.
What is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root made of metal. Dental implants are available in various forms and sizes (diameter & length). Most dental implants are composed of titanium, however, some are also constructed of zirconia. By adhering to the correct diagnostic and surgical procedures, this titanium screw is fastened to the jawbone painlessly. Osseointegration is the process by which a dental implant heals and fuses with the jawbone after being implanted. A Dental Crown will be positioned after they have effectively integrated into the jaw, which takes three to six months.
What are the Different Types of Dental Implants?
There are several different kinds of tooth implants. The most prevalent implants, according to the American Academy of Implant Dentistry (AAID), are endosteal and subperiosteal implants.
- Directly inserted into the jawbone are endosteal implants, often known as root implants. They are the most common kind of dental implant; they are typically composed of titanium and shaped like small screws.
- Subperiosteal implants are positioned on or above the jawbone but below the gum line. This kind of implant may be advantageous for a patient who lacks a strong jawbone to support the implant and who cannot or does not choose to undergo bone augmentation surgery.
What Are The Steps for Dental Implant Placement?
Step 1: Bone Grafts, Gums, and Evaluation for Dental Implant
First, Dr. Ronald Ayzin DDS will assess if you are a suitable candidate for Dental Implant surgery by inspecting your teeth, gums, and jawbone. Because your jawbone health is an important component of the first examination, he will determine whether you have enough of it to support the implant. If your jawbone is excessively thin or fragile, your dentist may advise doing a bone transplant or another preparatory operation before beginning the dental implant process. Additionally, you need to have healthy, periodontal disease-free gums.
You may choose from a range of bone grafting products at our office. Before your procedure, Dr. Ronald Ayzin DDS will discuss all of them with you. After the bone graft is inserted, it must heal for six to nine months before the implant may be inserted.
Step 2: Titanium Post Placement for Dental Implant
Depending on how many teeth need to be replaced, pressure-controlled drills are utilized to embed one or more titanium posts into the jawbone during dental implant surgery. Platform switching, which uses implants with a tiny diameter to preserve the alveolar bone levels around the posts, may be advised.
Step 3: Healing Period for Dental Implant
You should anticipate experiencing some soreness and swelling after the placement of the dental implant. This might last for a few of days. It might take two to six months for sufficient new bone to grow around the screw. Osseointegration, which means “combining with the bone,” is the name of this procedure. Around the implant, the jawbone will grow and become stronger. This fixes it in place and enables it to act as the root of the prosthetic tooth.
Step 4: Abutment and Crown Fabrication for Dental Implant
After the healing period, you may proceed to the implantation of the abutment, which is the following phase in the dental implant process. A metal extension called an Abutment is often fastened to the Implant. It’s necessary to make sure the crown is firmly fixed and cannot be readily removed by biting forces. The gums need a few weeks to heal once the Abutment is implanted.
An incision can be needed if gum tissue has developed above the implant. This is because once the dental implant has been placed, a healing cap is put on top of it to aid in the repair of the gum tissue around it. The implant is protected in this way. It cannot stop gum tissue from growing over it, however. During the second procedure, the healing cap will be taken off, and the dental implant will then have the abutment attached. After that, the gum tissue will create a barrier that will protect the Abutment.
In the meanwhile, Crowns will be made in a lab using CAD/CAM technology. After the wound has fully healed, this state-of-the-art technology will produce a custom dental crown that is prepared for attachment to the abutment. Either dental cement or a straight screw may be used to secure the Crown to the Abutment. It should have a minimum Crown-to-Root Ratio of 1:2.

Additionally, having healthy gums is crucial since the operation involves cutting into the gums, Dr. Ronald Ayzin DDS should carefully cooperate with your gums. If a person’s jawbone has lost bone, they can still have dental implants, but it will need a distinct set of preparatory procedures to rebuild the bone.

What treatment options are available for Dental implants?
Full Mouth Dental Implants
Dental Implant in a Day (Same Day Dental Implants)
Same-day Dental Implants may often be accomplished in a single session lasting anywhere from 30 minutes to 3 hours, depending on the number of implanted teeth. An initial appointment to see whether you’re a suitable candidate for same-day dental implants, the actual operation, and a check-up thereafter are all part of the process.

Temporary teeth will be given to you on the day of your procedure. After your mouth has fully healed, permanent teeth will be given to you in lieu of temporary ones.
How Much do Dental Implant Cost?
Dental implants cost between $3,000 and $4,500. Same Day Dental Implants costs between $4,000 and $5,000 per implant. The cost of multiple implants may vary from $1,500 to $30,000, full mouth implants can cost between $50,000 and $90,000, and all-on-four implants can cost between $24,000 and $50,000.
FAQs for Dental Implants
How long does a Dental Implant last?
The purpose of a dental implant is to serve as a long-term tooth replacement. The jaw post made of titanium may endure for practically a lifetime. If taken care of and maintained correctly, the Abutment and Crown may endure 15 to 25 years. Your dental implants will be made to last a lifetime by our practice.
Do gums grow around Implants?
Yes, the gums surrounding the implant do grow. With the use of a technique called gum contouring, the gums may be made to resemble the healthy gums that surround the teeth in size and form. To prevent the gum from covering the implant after the titanium tooth root has been inserted, a healing cap or temporary crown is put in place. In order to monitor the healing process and progressively sculpt the gums around the implant to the desired form, the patient will return to the clinic while the implant is healing. This makes the replacement teeth and gums as natural-looking as feasible.
