SAME DAY DENTAL IMPLANTS - MISSION VIEJO, CA

We begin your personalized treatment with a consultation with our doctors. We’ll discuss your smile goals and expectations for treatment, review your dental and medical history, and evaluate your dental condition. Next, we complete the diagnostic process, which includes taking intraoral scans and CBCT images of your mouth to assess the bone levels in your jaw(s). We’ll use these high-resolution, 3D images to digitally plan your surgery. During this phase, we’ll also take photos and use our sophisticated Digital Smile Design software to create a virtual representation of your new smile with dental implants so you can visualize the transformation first-hand.

Once we have gathered all necessary information, we’ll collaborate to create a treatment plan personalized only for you, your dental situation, and your smile goals. Depending on how many teeth you’re missing, your custom surgical guide will be fabricated with our in-house 3D printer or through nSequence®.

Your surgery will be completed using a surgical guide custom-fabricated to fit over your gums. These guides have holes through which the dental implant post is inserted to guide their placement into the best possible depth and angle in your jawbone. If you have remaining teeth or your bone is weak and thin, we’ll need to complete preliminary procedures before your implant placement. In most cases, these procedures—tooth extractions and bone grafting—can be completed during the same surgical appointment.

If you’re worried about experiencing discomfort or anxiety during this appointment, our team is trained and licensed to offer personalized anesthesia services to ensure a comfortable, pain-free experience. Once your dental implants are secured in your jawbone, we’ll check their primary stability. In virtually all cases, we can attach a temporary at this time so you can leave your appointment with functional, attractive teeth!

For the next 4-6 months, you will heal from your surgery. During this time, your bone, bone grafts, and dental implants will fuse together to create an incredibly stable foundation. Each dental implant post acts as a tooth root, stimulating healthy bone growth. The main reason dental implants are so long-lasting and strong is because these posts have health and functional benefits comparable to natural teeth.

When your mouth is healed, you have the option to transition into a permanent restoration. We offer nanoceramic restorations as they offer the greatest level of strength and natural aesthetics, while providing other advantages that ensure their long-term function. Our restorative dentist is trained and experienced in cosmetic dentistry, with the artistic eye and technical skill to ensure that your final tooth or set of teeth looks, functions, and feels like the real thing. His goal is to provide you with a new smile that looks completely natural and personalized for you. With this permanent prosthesis in place, you can enjoy all the activities you’d been missing without teeth: smiling without embarrassment, eating the foods you love, socializing with others, and living an overall better quality of life.
