Restore Your Smile Confidence with Dental Implants

"Since I Was A Kid I Had Dental Issues, A Full Mouth Reconstruction Restored My Confidence."

The Longest-Lasting Solution for Tooth Loss

Tooth loss can lead to declining oral health and function, negatively impacting your chewing and nutrition. Even a single missing tooth can cause bone loss and shifting of surrounding teeth, while the empty spaces can harbor bacteria. This can lead to a gum infection and more serious systemic health issues if left untreated. Most patients with missing teeth also experience emotional side effects because they feel embarrassed to smile and can’t fully enjoy life. If you’re uncomfortable coping with the many consequences of missing teeth or struggling with ill-fitting dentures, dental implants in Temecula, CA may be the perfect solution to restore your confidence and oral health! While dental implants are an ideal solution for many people and offer an array of benefits compared to traditional dentures, all implant practices aren’t created equal. Our highly skilled oral and maxillofacial surgeon Dr. Kenneth B. Whitworth has placed more than 5,000 dental implants and routinely restores single and multiple missing teeth, as well as entire upper and lower arches with full mouth dental implants.

What are Dental Implants?

The three-part dental implant consists of a small titanium screw that replaces the natural root of your missing tooth, a connector abutment and the prosthetic crown. The superb biocompatibility of titanium enables the dental implant to fuse with your underlying jawbone, thereby providing a solid foundation for your replacement tooth or teeth. Dental implants provide unsurpassed versatility because they can be used to replace a single tooth, multiple missing teeth or entire arches with full mouth dental implants in Temecula, CA. When placed by an experienced oral surgeon like Dr. Whitworth, dental implants have a success rate as high as 99%. In addition, dental implants often last a lifetime with proper oral hygiene and professional dental care.

Why Are Dental Implants the Best Choice?

In the past, dentures and/or bridges were considered the most effective solutions for missing teeth. Dentures can be difficult to maintain, shift or fall out when you speak or eat, become painful to wear and require frequent relining. Bridges require modification and crowns on teeth that adjoin the false tooth. Dental implant-supported teeth look, feel and function like natural teeth so you can eat and drink whatever you wish without worrying about instability. Dental implants in Temecula, CA offer unsurpassed versatility because they can replace a single tooth, support and stabilize dentures or zirconia bridges. Full arch dental implants restore complete function and aesthetics.

Our Personalized Dental Implant Process

Your journey to a restored smile starts with an in-depth consultation with Dr. Whitworth. During your initial visit, he performs an oral exam and uses cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) to analyze your bone structure, nerve tissue and sinus cavities. If necessary, Dr. Whitworth will extract any remaining tooth, often during the same visit as dental implant surgery. Grafting of the socket may also be necessary if the underlying bone isn’t dense enough to support a dental implant. Dr. Whitworth uses state-of-the-art guided surgical techniques to place dental implants in a single session. Guided surgery allows a minimal amount of manipulation of soft tissue, significantly reducing healing time and discomfort typically associated with traditional dental implant surgical techniques. At Innovative Implant & Oral Surgery Center we offer many types of sedation to ensure your ultimate comfort during surgery. General anesthesia is an especially good option if you’re getting full mouth dental implants in Temecula, CA.

Dental implants gradually fuse with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration, which typically takes three to six months. After the implants have completely fused with your jawbone, the implants are uncovered and a small metal abutment is attached that acts as an anchor for the final replacement tooth, bridge or full arch dental implants. The final prosthesis is carefully customized and fabricated by a dental lab to match the exact color and contour of your natural teeth.
