For those missing a single tooth, we offer single implants that involve placing a titanium post in the jawbone to support a single artificial tooth. This solution not only restores its function, but also blends seamlessly with your natural teeth for an aesthetically pleasing result.
For patients with significant tooth loss, our All-On-4 solution utilizes four strategically placed implants to support an entire arch of replacement teeth. This provides a fixed and stable solution, giving you a fully functional and natural-looking smile.
For those needing to replace multiple missing teeth, our implant-supported bridges offer enhanced stability and function compared to traditional bridges. This solution anchors a bridge of artificial teeth to dental implants, providing a durable and long-lasting restoration.
For patients seeking a more stable alternative to traditional dentures, implant-supported dentures provide enhanced comfort, security, and function. Anchored by dental implants, these dentures snap into place for a secure fit, eliminating slipping, clicking, or the need for adhesives. This solution offers improved chewing ability, clearer speech, and greater confidence in your daily life.
Because there are so many different types of dental implants, the best way to understand the cost is to schedule an appointment for a consultation. We can prepare an estimate of the costs involved for your unique dental needs.
Many dental insurance plans cover at least some aspects of the dental implant procedure and in certain cases, health insurance may provide coverage. However, insurance coverage for implants can vary a great deal, so it is important to verify your benefits with your provider.
South County Smiles is excited to have a wonderful team of Treatment Coordinators who will work with you to customize and develop the treatment plan that is right for you. We can assist you with everything from selecting the best treatment plan for you to helping you figure out the financial details.
Yes, if you need a dental implant to replace a tooth that is visible when you smile, we can provide you with a temporary tooth while you wait for your permanent restoration.
You will not experience any pain during your dental implant placement because local anesthetic is used to numb the area completely. Once your procedure is complete and the anesthetic begins to wear off, you may notice some tenderness and discomfort at the site. This is usually minimal and can be relieved with over-the-counter pain medication.
Patients who smoke or have active gum disease are not candidates for dental implants. Other health conditions, particularly those that affect your ability to heal or increase your risk of infection, may also prevent you from getting implants.
Every patient is different, but in most circumstances, we recommend dental implants over dentures because they prevent bone loss in the jaw.
Of course! Many of our patients get dental implants decades after an extraction. You are more likely to require jawbone augmentation, but other than that, there is no reason that this would impact your ability to get a dental implant.
If a tooth is extracted and not replaced, the bone that once supported its root will begin to break down. Over time, neighboring teeth may drift into the open space, which can cause other teeth to shift as well. This shifting, combined with the bone loss, can lead to additional tooth loss and a weakened bite.
