Dental Implants in Irvine
Looking for a long-lasting, natural-looking way to replace missing teeth? Sand Canyon Dental in Irvine offers state-of-the-art dental implant solutions tailored to your needs.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are small titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as artificial roots for replacement teeth. Once healed, they support crowns, bridges, or full-arch prosthetics, restoring both appearance and function.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
Dental implants offer numerous advantages:
Look, feel, and function like real teeth
Prevent bone loss and maintain facial structure
Do not affect neighboring healthy teeth
Allow you to eat, smile, and speak with confidence
Can last decades with proper care
Whether you're missing one tooth or all of them, implants provide a permanent, comfortable, and aesthetic solution.
Types of Dental Implant Solutions
Single Tooth Replacement
Ideal for replacing one missing tooth without compromising adjacent teeth. A single implant supports a custom crown that looks and feels natural.
Multiple Teeth Replacement
For patients missing several teeth, implant-supported bridges offer a secure, durable alternative to removable partial dentures.
Full Arch Replacement
Replace all teeth in your upper or lower jaw using 4–6 strategically placed implants. Also known as All-on-4 or All-on-6, this method offers full restoration with fewer implants and a permanent, fixed smile.
What to Expect from the Implant Process
Consultation & Planning – Digital imaging and a detailed treatment plan.
Implant Placement – Surgical placement of the titanium posts.
Healing Period – 3–6 months for osseointegration (bone integration).
Restoration – Placement of your custom crown, bridge, or denture.
Caring for Dental Implants
Treat implants like natural teeth:
Brush and floss daily
Attend regular dental checkups
Avoid tobacco and maintain good general health
With proper care, your implants can last 15–25 years or more.
