Dental implants are one kind of artificial tooth roots. After losing your tooth, you may want to replace it with an artificial tooth. But, ordinary dentures are not permanent. These dentures are not stable. Hence, dental implants are required.
Dental implants give you a strong and permanent tooth root. Moreover, these implants don’t create pressure on their adjoining teeth. Hence, dental implants can mimic a natural tooth perfectly.
During your dental implant consultation in our La Mesa dental office, Our doctor will put together a comprehensive treatment plan to ensure the best results for your treatment. The dental implant procedure is a three part process:
Dental implants are made of two types of materials – 1) titanium and 2) zirconia.
Dental implants have three main parts – a metal post, an abutment, and a crown.
Before performing surgery, your dentist will examine your jawbone. A healthy jawbone is a crucial aspect of this surgery.
However, the gum beneath your missing tooth will be cut. Then, the surgeon will expose the bone and will drill a hole into the bone. Now, the metal post will be installed.
After several months, the bone will grow around the post and it will heal. After that, a small surgery will be required to place the abutment. After some weeks, your gums will heal and the dentist will place a custom crown on the abutment.
The entire surgery will be performed after giving you a dose of anesthesia. So, you won’t feel any pain.
Minimally invasive dental implants, faster dental implant treatment, and lower costs
Instant improvements in your quality of life
In addition to traditional dental implants, our doctor also offers All-on4® dental implants in La Mesa. The All-on4® treatment provide patients missing teeth and soon-to-be edentulous patients with a fixed full-arch prosthesis/denture on four implants on the day of surgery. This improves patient satisfaction – with regards to functionality, appearance, sense, speech, and self-confidence.
Shorter and faster treatment times
The 2 elements that drastically reduce the complexity of treatment are; the number of surgeries needed, and the treatment time: strategically tilting the posterior dental implants avoids the need for time consuming bone grafts, while immediate loading shortens the time to teeth.
Lower costs
The All-on4® concept takes has the fastest treatment times with dental implants, and is also much more affordable in comparison to conventional dental implants. This is especially true for edentulous patients in need of a full mouth reconstruction in La Mesa, CA.
Stability with minimal bone volume
By strategically positioning the two posterior implants, Dr. Sean Hakimi can use longer implants. This not only increases bone-to-implant contact, but also avoids vertical bone augmentation. It is common for complications to occur with vertical augmentation. In addition, the tilted implants can be anchored in better quality of the anterior bone (front of the mouth), reduce cantilevers and help avoid important structures of the mouth.
”I was having severe tooth pain one night and I called after hours and surprisingly got a call back from the actual Dr. He asked me what was going on and called in some antibiotics to the pharmacy of my choice. 2 weeks later I finally got my tooth pulled and am happy I chose them. Besides actually having a fun (yes fun) time here, my tooth extraction took like 30 minutes which has to be a record in my book. Kind Dental definitely works with you and the staff here is beautiful. Shout out to the whole crew and thanks Dr. Maysam for making my mouth feel better.
