What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants replace missing tooth roots with small titanium posts that support lifelike crowns or bridges. They help restore chewing strength, preserve jawbone and stabilize neighboring teeth. After a careful exam, our dentists discuss goals, health history and timelines to confirm candidacy. Digital planning guides placement for accuracy and comfort. The result is a restoration that looks natural and feels secure during daily activities. Dr. Babak Joobbani and Dr. Jennifer Joobbani oversee each step with clear explanations and steady attention, so you understand choices and expected outcomes. Thoughtful guidance helps you make a confident decision that fits your needs and lifestyle today.
The implant process begins with records like photos, scans and a bite evaluation. These details shape a precise plan tailored to your anatomy. If bone is thin, preparatory steps may be discussed to support long-term stability. On placement day, posts are positioned with careful technique and comfort strategies. Healing allows bone to integrate with each implant and create a strong foundation. A custom crown or bridge is then attached to complete your smile. Throughout the process, you receive simple instructions that support hygiene, comfort and predictable progress from start to finish at home.
How Implants Benefit You
Dental implants rely on osseointegration, a natural process where bone fuses to the implant surface and locks it in place. This connection lets the implant act like a root and support chewing forces. Our dentists use digital imaging to map bone quality and avoid vital structures for safety. Guided placement helps position posts at angles and depths that protect nerves and sinuses. After surgery, healing time allows the site to mature before impressions are taken. A custom abutment connects the implant to the crown and fine-tunes fit for comfort, hygiene access and an attractive, durable result that lasts for years.
Day-to-day care supports predictable healing. Clean around stitches as directed and brush gently near the area while avoiding vigorous rinsing early on. As tissues strengthen, regular brushing and flossing resume with added focus around implant sites. Our dentists will show you how to use interdental aids that keep the restoration clean. Follow dietary guidelines that favor softer foods until comfort improves. Attend scheduled checks so minor adjustments can be made before they become problems. With consistent home care and professional maintenance, implants function comfortably and support healthy gums, balanced bite forces and confident chewing during meals and conversations each day.
