What Are Dental Implants and How They Work

A dental implant is a small titanium post that acts as an artificial tooth root. It’s surgically placed into the jawbone, where it fuses with the bone through a process called osseointegration. Once the implant has integrated, it provides a strong, stable foundation for a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture.

Unlike removable dentures, implants are fixed, meaning they don’t slip, shift, or require adhesives. They mimic the natural tooth structure, making them the most secure and long-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth. Whether you’re missing one tooth, several, or an entire arch, implants can be customized to meet your specific needs.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Choosing dental implants at Sunset Smiles Dental Care comes with life-changing benefits:

Permanent solution:

Implants are designed to last for decades with proper care.

Natural look and feel:

Implants closely resemble natural teeth in both appearance and function.

Improved chewing and speech:

Eat and speak comfortably without the worry of slipping dentures.

Jawbone preservation:

Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and facial sagging.

No impact on surrounding teeth:

Unlike bridges, implants don’t rely on adjacent teeth for support.

Boosted confidence:

A stable, beautiful smile can dramatically improve self-esteem and quality of life.

This approach allows us to do more than “fix” your teeth—it helps create the ideal smile you’ve always envisioned.

Types of Dental Implant Procedures

At Sunset Smiles Dental Care, we offer a variety of implant solutions to match each patient’s unique situation:

Single Tooth Implants

Ideal for patients missing one tooth. A single titanium implant is placed and topped with a custom crown that blends naturally with surrounding teeth.

Implant-Supported Bridges

For multiple missing teeth in a row, implants can be used to anchor a bridge without altering healthy neighboring teeth.

Implant-Supported Dentures

For patients missing most or all teeth, multiple implants can support a secure, full-arch denture. This provides better stability than traditional dentures.

Full-Arch or All-on-4 Implants

A modern technique where as few as four implants can support a complete set of teeth, offering a permanent, natural-looking solution for full-mouth restoration.

Each smile design treatment is unique—customized to match your needs, timeline, and budget.

What to Expect During the Dental Implant Process

  • Consultation and 3D Imaging:
    Dr. Luis F. Velasquez will evaluate your oral health, bone structure, and medical history. Digital scans or 3D imaging may be used to create a precise treatment plan.
  • Implant Placement:
    The titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia. Sedation options may be available for enhanced comfort.
  • Healing and Osseointegration:
    Over the next few months, the implant fuses with the bone, creating a stable foundation for your new restoration.
  • Abutment and Crown Placement:
    Once healed, an abutment (connector piece) is attached to the implant, followed by a custom-made crown or restoration.
  • Follow-Up and Maintenance:
    We provide detailed care instructions and schedule regular checkups to ensure long-term success.
