Dental Implant Smile Restorations

Dental implants are made from titanium and resemble a small screw. The post is inserted into the jawbone in a surgical procedure. Over several months the bone grows around the post to keep it securely in place. There are many different sizes and types of dental implants, from mini implants to longer zygomatic implants that attach to the cheekbone instead of the jawbone. The type of dental implant used depends on the dental restoration performed and your jawbone density.

Jawbone density is a concern for dental implants. If too much bone loss has occurred in the jawbone, it may not have enough to support a dental implant. This does not mean a patient cannot have a dental implant – there are possible solutions. Bone grafting can be used to increase bone around the implant. In severe cases, zygomatic implants can be used to attach the implant to the zygoma, or cheekbone. Our experienced implant dentist, Dr. Devan Dalla, performs all types of dental implant procedures at our facility near Citrus Heights, CA.

What Are All-on-4 Dental Implants?

We offer both All-on-4 and All-on-6 dental implants at Ora Dental Implant Studio. These options allow a full mouth restoration using dental implants, but with only four or six implants. A full set of prosthetic teeth are attached to the four or six implants, keeping the new teeth in place. Not only are All-on-4 dental implants easier for those with some bone loss in the jaw, but they are also less expensive and less invasive than using dental implants to replace all missing teeth.

Teeth in a Day are another option we offer at our dental implant studio. This procedure allows patients to have their dental implants placed and new teeth attached all in one visit. Not everyone qualifies for this procedure, but it is available for some patients.

Advanced Implant Technology

Not all dental implants are the same – the experience and expertise of the dentist and the type of technology used can make a significant difference in the appearance and longevity of the implant. Dr. Dalla has invested in the latest dental technology to improve our implant procedures. We use CT scans and 3D imaging to perform full facial scans for improved results for patients. We also have a 3D teeth printer and other advanced equipment to allow us to perform all aspects of dental implant procedures in-house.
