What Are Dental Implants?
Losing a tooth can affect more than just your smile. It can change how you eat, speak, and feel about yourself. Dental implants offer a lasting way to restore missing or damaged teeth with natural-looking results. A dental implant is a strong, artificial tooth root placed into the jawbone. It provides a stable base for a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture. This tooth replacement option looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth. The process for a tooth implant includes a consultation, implant placement, healing time, and the final restoration. Each case is unique, and the total time for the process can vary. A consultation at Oasis Smiles Dentistry in San Diego, CA, or Vista Oasis Smiles in Vista, CA, can provide more details about your personalized treatment plan.
How Do Dental Implants Work?
The dental implant procedure begins with placing a small titanium post into the jawbone. Over time, the bone fuses with the implant in a process called osseointegration, creating a strong foundation for the final restoration. Once healed, an abutment connects the implant to a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture. This allows the new tooth to blend seamlessly with your natural smile. With proper care, implants can last for many years and help maintain oral health.
What Are the Benefits of Dental Implants?
Dental implants offer more than just a new smile. They improve comfort, function, and long-term oral health, providing the following benefits:
- Restores biting and chewing ability
- Prevents bone loss and preserves facial structure
- Provides a stable and secure fit compared to traditional dentures
- Looks and feels like natural teeth
- Supports surrounding teeth and prevents shifting
- Improves speech and overall confidence
Oasis Smiles Dentistry Reviews
Dr. Bohr is an experienced and knowlegable professional who provides great service. She is pleasant to work with, gets right to the issue, explains everything clearly, and produces timely results. She understands pain management and offers competitive pricing. I had a dental emergency, (a broken bridge), last Friday in the afternoon. I called Oasis Smiles at about 3pm, and was invited to come in to the office immediately. Even though it was late on a Friday, Dr. Bohr and her staff gave me immediate care, and were able to create a temporary bridge for the emergency. They gave me a followup appointment for Monday morning, and performed everything needed to set up the lab work that was needed to rebuild the bridge. I am very thankful for how they handled my dental emergency, and how quickly they were able to handle what was needed in a timely manner.
I found Oasis Smiles a very friendly place and Dr. Bhore very pleasant to work with. The proceduer was conducted painlessly and the after care was very well explained. I shall recommend this place to all my friends.
Honestly 10/10 from the minute I walked in the door Tracy was so nice and helpful and so funny. Nancy was so kind while helping me in the back as well. The doctor was amazing as well I definitely will be staying here!!! Thank you so much!!
Most important quality of Dr Bhor is she will do what is needed. Suggests what can be done later and does not try to get more work than needed. High quality work, excellent pain management. Tried many dentists in the past but this one stands out.
Most fun I have ever had at the Dentist Office. BetweenTracy and Dr Bhor I was given answers for all my questions and all concerns were addressed. I am extremely comfortable with the treatment plan presented. Retired Navy Master Chief and strongly recommend Vista Oasis Smiles.
