What Is a Dental Implant?
Dental implants offer a tooth replacement solution that is permanent as well as natural in look, feel, and function. They can replace a single tooth or an entire arch of teeth. Many patients are pleased to find out that they are a good candidate for a dental implant.
A dental implant is revolutionary because it replaces the entire tooth including its root! There are three parts to a dental implant: the post, the abutment, and the crown. Made of medical-grade titanium, the dental implant post is surgically implanted into the jaw bone and will act as the root for the replacement tooth. Through a process called osseointegration, this post will fuse with the jaw bone and is responsible for the dental implants strong, secure, and permanent foundation. The crown is a custom-made prosthesis designed to blend in with the surrounding teeth for the most natural look possible. It sits on top of the dental implant post and is the visible part of the implant. Finally, the abutment piece is what connects the dental implant post to the crown. A single dental implant truly is a complete tooth replacement solution!
The doctors at California Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Center design customized tooth replacement treatment plans to create the best possible outcome for every patient. If you are considering a single dental implant, multiple implants, full-arch restoration or All-on-4®, or another tooth replacement solution, we will work with you to create the treatment plan that is right for you. Our doctors are experienced oral surgeons who perform dental implant-based restorations in their safe and sterile practice in Huntington Beach, CA.
What Are the Benefits of Dental Implants?
Dental implants offer a tooth replacement solution that is permanent, secure, and natural-looking. But did you know that they can improve your oral health too? No wonder dental implants are a popular choice! Other benefits of dental implants include:
- Permanent and secure replacement. Through a process called osseointegration, this post will fuse with the jaw bone and is responsible for the dental implants strong, secure, and permanent foundation. With the right care, dental implants can last a very long time.
- Discreet results. The crown is the visible part of the implant and is a custom-made prosthesis designed to blend in with the surrounding teeth for the most natural look possible.
- Confidence boost. We are happy to hear so many of our patients tell us how much better they feel after receiving dental implants.
- Eat the foods you love. Traditional tooth replacement options can make it difficult or impossible to eat certain foods. Dental implants offer the security and confidence to eat the foods you love again without the worry of the implant slipping or falling out.
- Preserved bone health. Dental implants are considered a complete tooth replacement because they also replace the tooth’s root, the part of the tooth responsible for preserving jaw bone health.
- Versatile. Whether you are missing a single tooth, multiple teeth, or even an entire arch of teeth, dental implants offer several solutions to tooth loss.
- Most patients are dental implant candidates. Chances are good that if you are healthy enough to undergo a minor oral surgery procedure, such as a tooth extraction, you are healthy enough to receive a dental implant.

The Value of Dental Implants
Dental implants achieve the look, feel, and function of natural teeth in a secure and permanent way, making them an ideal tooth replacement solution. At California Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Center, we are happy to offer dental implant placement as a permanent tooth replacement option for our patients.
Below are a few of the reasons many of our patients choose to invest in dental implants:
- Lifelong tooth replacement. Unlike other tooth replacement solutions, your dental implants will not need to be replaced, saving you the inconvenience and cost of repeated treatments for the same missing teeth in fact, dental implants can last a very long time with good oral hygiene and regular dental appointments.
- Protects oral health and jaw structure. Dental implants fuse with your jaw bone during healing time through the process of osseointegration. Because of this, dental implants act like natural tooth roots in your jaw, continuously stimulating the jaw bone when you chew, to keep bone loss at bay. Dental implants will also protect you from the dental shifting that is caused by missing teeth. When your teeth are properly aligned in the dental arch, you are less likely to require costly dental work later.
- Enhanced quality of life. Its impossible to estimate how much value our dental implant patients receive, from being able to enjoy the foods they love to speaking and smiling with confidence again. These everyday life enhancements add up to a happier and healthier patient. We see evidence of this at our practice every day!
If you are considering dental implants, we encourage you to contact our office and schedule a consultation. One of our oral surgeons will provide a complete oral evaluation and work with you to design a treatment plan that works for you.
