What Is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant consists of placing a small titanium screw below the gum into the upper or lower jawbone, which can then secure a new single tooth or set of teeth. Titanium is able to fuse with bone, allowing the screw to anchor and support new teeth so that they feel and function like natural teeth. Implants are stable and comfortable, don’t need adjustments, and offer a permanent solution to missing teeth.

PLANNING STAGE
Our experienced staff takes the time to create your custom treatment plan through the use of specialized imaging and three-dimensional viewing.
IMPLANT PLACEMENT
Our Woodland Hills Family Dentistry specialist will place the dental implant in the ideal spot to form the gum tissue around the implant.
HEALING
The bone around the dental implant will grow and integrate with the new implant in a matter of a few weeks as you heal.
TEMPORARY RESTORATION
If the dental implant is in a visible area, a temporary restoration may be placed for aesthetic purposes while the site heals.
ABUTMENT PLACEMENT
When healing is complete, the dental implant abutment is placed to connect the dental implant to the porcelain crown.
PORCELAIN CROWN
Once your custom porcelain crown is created to your exact specifications, we bond the crown to the abutment, and you can enjoy your dazzling new smile.
