Dental Implants in Long Beach, CA

Stop letting missing teeth hold you back from living life to the fullest. Restore your confidence with dental implants that look, feel, and function just like natural teeth.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are titanium posts that act as artificial roots for missing teeth. Think of dental implants as new roots for your missing teeth. Each implant post is carefully placed into your jaw bone, creating a strong foundation for your new smile. Unlike temporary solutions, dental implants offer a permanent way to replace missing teeth with artificial teeth that look completely natural.

Our experienced dentist, Dr. Gary Glasband, uses advanced technology to ensure precise placement of your implants. This attention to detail protects your surrounding bone and adjacent teeth while creating lasting results that enhance both your smile and oral health.

Frequently Asked Questions

The dental implant process can take several months. After the implant is placed, it may take a few months for the bone to heal and integrate with the implant. Once healed, a crown or other prosthetic is attached to complete the restoration.

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you should not feel pain during the surgery. Some discomfort and swelling may occur after the procedure, but this can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.

With proper care, dental implants can last 20 years or more, and in some cases, they may last a lifetime. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene practices are essential for maintaining implants.

Dental implants are designed to look and feel like natural teeth. The crowns are custom-made to match your existing teeth, making them virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth.

The two main types of dental implants are endosteal and subperiosteal. Endosteal implants are placed directly into the jawbone, while subperiosteal implants sit on top of the jawbone but under the gum tissue.
