Dental implants are titanium or ceramic posts that are surgically placed into your jawbone, serving as strong, artificial tooth roots. These biocompatible posts fuse directly with your bone through a natural process called osseointegration, creating an incredibly stable and permanent foundation. Once integrated, dental implants can support various custom-made restorations, including:

Dental implants are state-of-the-art prosthetic devices designed to replace missing tooth roots. They are small, screw-shaped posts, typically made of biocompatible titanium, that are surgically placed into the jawbone. Once integrated with the bone, they provide a strong and stable foundation for a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture.
Most individuals who are missing one or more teeth are potential candidates for dental implants. Ideal candidates typically have good overall health, sufficient jawbone density to support the implant, and healthy gum tissue. Dr. Raanan will conduct a thorough examination, including 3D imaging, to determine if dental implants are the right solution for your specific needs during your initial consultation in Beverly Hills.
With proper care and maintenance, dental implants are designed to be a permanent solution for tooth replacement. The implant post itself can last a lifetime, while the restoration (crown, bridge, or denture) attached to it can last for many years, often 10-15 years or more, before needing replacement due to wear and tear.
The dental implant placement procedure is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring you remain comfortable and pain-free during the surgery. Many patients report that the discomfort is surprisingly minimal, often comparable to a routine tooth extraction. Dr. Raanan can also discuss various sedation options to help you feel completely at ease throughout the process.
The entire dental implant process typically spans several months. This includes the initial consultation and planning, the implant placement surgery, a healing period for osseointegration (where the implant fuses with the jawbone, usually 3-6 months), and finally, the placement of your custom restoration. Each stage is crucial for the long-term success of your implant.
Dental implants offer several significant advantages. They are permanent, stable, and don’t rely on adjacent teeth for support (unlike bridges). They also help preserve jawbone health, preventing bone loss that commonly occurs with missing teeth. Unlike traditional dentures, implants eliminate slipping, discomfort, and the need for adhesives, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with full confidence.
Caring for your dental implants is similar to caring for your natural teeth. Excellent oral hygiene is essential, including regular brushing, daily flossing (specifically designed implant floss or interdental brushes), and routine dental check-ups and professional cleanings with Dr. Raanan. These practices will help ensure the longevity and health of your implants and surrounding gums.
Even if you have experienced some bone loss, you might still be a candidate for dental implants. Advanced techniques such as bone grafting or sinus lifts can be performed to augment the jawbone, creating sufficient support for the implants. Dr. Raanan will thoroughly evaluate your bone density and discuss all available options during your consultation.
