Dental implants are a reliable and long-term solution for replacing missing teeth. At Pacific Coast Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, our oral and maxillofacial surgeon and team provide dental implants in Arcadia, Glendale, Mission Hills and Pasadena, California, to help restore the function, structure and appearance of a complete smile. Implants are anchored directly into the jawbone, allowing them to support crowns, bridges or full-arch restorations with strength and stability similar to natural tooth roots.
Tooth loss can affect speech, chewing and jaw health, and untreated gaps often lead to bone deterioration over time. Dental implants help prevent these issues by integrating with the bone and supporting healthy bite alignment. With proper care, they can last for many years and function like natural teeth.
The Role and Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants are used to replace one tooth, multiple teeth or an entire arch. Their design allows them to serve both cosmetic and restorative purposes. Benefits of implants include:
- Preservation of bone density and facial structure
- Improved ability to eat and speak clearly
- Natural look and feel
- Enhanced stability compared to removable options
- Long-term durability and low maintenance
Before treatment begins, our oral and maxillofacial surgeon and team conduct a detailed assessment using diagnostic imaging and intraoral scans. This evaluation helps determine bone quality, spacing and alignment, ensuring that the implants are positioned correctly and supported with the appropriate restoration.
Planning, Placement and Precision Technology
Dr. Nam Cho utilizes advanced technology to improve implant accuracy and longevity. This includes 3D cone beam imaging, digital treatment planning and guided surgical tools. These methods reduce surgical risks and support optimal placement based on the patient’s anatomy.
The implant process typically involves a minor surgical procedure followed by a healing period, during which the implant fuses with the bone. Once healing is complete, a custom restoration is placed to match the surrounding teeth in both function and appearance.
In some cases, implants may be paired with bone grafting or other procedures to enhance the outcome. Our oral and maxillofacial surgeon will review all relevant factors and provide a timeline and care plan tailored to each patient.
