Dental Implants

Dental Implants at Wilshire Center Dental Group

A missing tooth can affect your smile, confidence, and overall oral health. At Wilshire Center Dental Group, we offer dental implants, the gold standard for replacing missing teeth, to help you restore your smile’s function and aesthetics. Designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth, dental implants provide a long-lasting solution for tooth loss.

With advanced techniques and personalized care, our team ensures a seamless and comfortable implant experience.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. They provide a sturdy foundation for replacement teeth, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures, and are designed to integrate with your natural bone for unmatched stability.

Benefits of Dental Implants

  • Natural Appearance: Implants are customized to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
  • Improved Functionality: Enjoy eating, speaking, and smiling confidently without worrying about shifting or slipping.
  • Durability: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime.
  • Bone Preservation: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss that often occurs after tooth loss.
  • Convenience: Unlike removable dentures, implants are fixed in place and require no special maintenance beyond regular oral hygiene.

Types of Dental Implants We Offer

1. Single-Tooth Implants
Replace one missing tooth with a single implant topped with a custom crown.

2. Implant-Supported Bridges
Replace multiple adjacent teeth without relying on natural teeth for support.

3. All-on-4® or Full Arch Implants
Restore an entire arch of missing teeth with just four strategically placed implants, offering a stable alternative to traditional dentures.

4. Mini Dental Implants
A minimally invasive option for patients with limited bone density, providing stability for smaller prosthetics.

The Dental Implant Process

  1. Initial Consultation
    We’ll evaluate your oral health, take 3D images or X-rays, and discuss your goals to determine if implants are right for you.

  2. Treatment Planning
    A personalized plan will be created, outlining the number of implants needed and the best placement strategy.

  3. Implant Placement
    Using state-of-the-art technology, the titanium posts are surgically placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia or sedation.

  4. Healing Period
    Over several months, the implants fuse with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration, creating a strong foundation.

  5. Restoration Placement
    Once healed, a custom crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the implants, completing your new smile.
