The Impact of Missing Teeth & How Dental Implants Help
Leaving missing teeth untreated can lead to more than cosmetic concerns. Over time, surrounding teeth can shift out of alignment, causing bite problems and joint discomfort. The jawbone beneath the missing tooth can also begin to deteriorate due to lack of stimulation—a process that can alter your facial structure.
Dental implants offer a modern, highly reliable solution. Unlike removable dentures, an implant acts as an artificial tooth root made of medical-grade titanium. Once placed, it integrates directly with your bone, providing unmatched stability and support for a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture.
Dr. Robert P. Hedvat evaluates each patient individually, using 3D Cone Beam CT imaging to assess bone density, gum health, and spacing before recommending a personalized implant plan.
Implant Options We Offer
- Single-Tooth Implants — Replace one missing tooth without altering adjacent healthy teeth.
- Multiple Missing Teeth — Implant-supported bridges can replace several teeth in a row.
- Implant-Supported Dentures — Stabilize a full or partial denture for improved comfort and function.
- Alternatives — For patients who are not implant candidates, we discuss bridge and removable denture options.
Why Patients Choose Dental Implants
Natural Look & Feel
Custom-crafted crowns are designed to match the exact shade, shape, and size of your surrounding teeth for a seamless result.
Jawbone Preservation
Implants stimulate the bone, helping to prevent the bone loss that naturally occurs after tooth loss and can alter your facial profile.
Protects Adjacent Teeth
Traditional bridges require grinding down healthy neighboring teeth. Implants stand independently without altering surrounding teeth.
Enhanced Stability
No slipping, clicking, or adhesives. Implants remain securely anchored, allowing you to eat and speak with confidence.
The Dental Implant Process at Smile Care Valencia
Treatment recommendations and timelines vary according to individual examination, imaging, diagnosis, and unique healing needs. Below is a general overview of the implant process.
Initial Evaluation & 3D Imaging
We use advanced 3D Cone Beam CT scans to assess your jawbone density, gum tissue, and spacing to determine if you are a candidate for implants and to plan precise placement.
Implant Placement
The titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia. Sedation options are available to ensure you feel relaxed and comfortable throughout the procedure.
Healing & Osseointegration
Over a period of several months, the implant naturally fuses with your bone—a process called osseointegration—creating a stable, permanent foundation for your restoration.
Custom Restoration
A custom-made, high-quality ceramic crown, bridge, or denture is securely attached to the implant post, completing your new smile.
* Treatment recommendations and timelines vary according to individual examination, imaging, diagnosis, and unique healing needs. Candidacy is determined after a comprehensive evaluation.
