Dental Implant Benefits

Dental Implants behave like natural teeth..

Dental Implants prevent bone loss.

Dental Implants keep adjacent teeth stable.

Dental Implants can help keep you free of gum disease.

Dental Implants can prevent facial sagging and premature aging.

They are a 3-part tooth restoration option that consist of:

1. Medical-grade and biocompatible titanium screw, which is inserted into the jawbone to replace the missing tooth root. Because titanium has been proven over time to bond extremely well with human tissue, it offers a healthy, permanent solution.

2. An abutment. Once the titanium post has bonded with the jawbone, similar to the way a natural tooth root does, we place the connector piece (called an abutment) that securely connects the implant screw to the custom made restoration.

3. Custom made crown, bridge, or full denture connected to implant.

Consultation

During your consultation appointment with us, imaging, such as 3D CT scans, will be taken; the Doctor will review your condition; a personalized treatment plan will be formed; and an accurate estimate of the cost of your treatment will be discussed. Some dental insurance may cover some of the costs associated with dental implants.

Surgery

During computerized-guided surgery, the doctor will place the post in the jawbone beneath your gums. The discomfort is usually less than that of a tooth extraction, and you’ll be able to return to your routine the next day.

Recovery

After the implant placement, there will be a three to four-month healing period while your body does the work of fusing the screw into the jaw bone to create a strong foundation for chewing hard foods.

Abutment and Restoration Placement

Once you’ve completed the dental implant process, you will have a beautiful, natural-looking solution that will provide many, many years of talking, laughing, smiling, and eating your favorite foods without having to worry about loose-fitting dentures or ugly gaps in your smile.

Modern Dental Implants: A Comfortable, Cost-Effective Solution

Believe it or not, dental implants are the standard of care in dentistry. For failing teeth, or for missing teeth, traditional dentures or “bridges” are not commonly recommended. Implant restorations, though as scary and painful as they may seem or sound, are some of the least painful, easy on the body dental treatments in dentistry. Dental implants usually cause NO next day pain or discomfort, or any discomfort during the surgery itself.

Dental implant treatment has become more cost effective over the past 5 years. What once was a half a day procedure with general anesthetic, bruising and bleeding, soreness or pain for days after, costing upwards of $6,000 can now be done in about 30 mins, with local anesthetic, and total next day comfort for a fraction of the price.

DON’T GET FOOLED BY “IMPLANT” SERVICES COSTING $750 OR LESS. Ask what it includes, what follow up care is provided, what type of implant is placed, what imaging and X-Rays are included, is a bone graft needed, and if so, how much? How much experience does the doctor have? Is a stent used? Are you being diagnosed from a 3d Cone Beam Radiograph? We can always provide you a consultation or a second opinion for your knowledge and eduction at no charge.

Feel free to request a complimentary implant consultation to learn what’s involved in a dental implant, the components, the surgery itself, and related fees.

Dental Implants: What to expect

Our top of the line dental implant procedure includes:

Titanium implant (base) - Highest quality, medical-grade, made in US

This is the foundational component of the dental implant, typically made from medical-grade titanium. Titanium is chosen for its biocompatibility, strength, and ability to fuse with the jawbone (osseointegration). The “base” refers to the implant fixture that is surgically placed into the jawbone.

Titanium Abutment - Highest quality, medical-grade, made in US

Once the implant has integrated with the jawbone, an abutment is attached to the implant base. The abutment acts as a connector between the implant and the replacement tooth (crown). It is also made from medical-grade titanium, ensuring durability and compatibility with the surrounding tissues.

Zirconia Crown - Highest grade zirconia, fused to metal.

The crown is the visible part of the dental implant restoration, which resembles a natural tooth. Zirconia is a ceramic material known for its strength, durability, and aesthetic qualities. Unlike cheaper alternatives (like porcelain fused to metal), zirconia crowns are highly biocompatible and resistant to chipping and cracking. They also provide a natural appearance, blending seamlessly with adjacent teeth.

Initial Exam

Before undergoing any dental implant procedure, a thorough initial examination is conducted. This involves evaluating the patient’s dental and medical history, conducting clinical assessments, and possibly taking diagnostic tests (like X-rays).

3D CT Imaging Scan

A 3D CT (computed tomography) scan provides detailed, three-dimensional images of the patient’s teeth, jawbone, nerves, and surrounding structures. This imaging technique is crucial for precise treatment planning in dental implant procedures, allowing dentists to assess bone density, plan implant placement accurately, and identify potential complications.

Surgical Guide

A surgical guide is a custom-made device used during the implant placement surgery. It is created based on the patient’s CT scan and helps the dentist precisely position the implant in the optimal location within the jawbone. This reduces surgery time, enhances accuracy, and minimizes the risk of complications.

The Dental Implant procedure is a three part process:

Placing the implant

The dental implant, usually a cylindrical and/or tapered post made of titanium, is surgically placed into the jawbone.

Installing the abutment

Once the implant is settled in, your surgeon will then install a post, known as an abutment, into the implant.

Placing the crown

Finally, a prosthetic tooth, called a crown, will be created and attached to the implants to restore natural functionality and aesthetics.

Are you a candidate for Dental implants?

Almost anyone is a prime candidate for dental implants. Whether you’ve lost a tooth, several teeth, or even all of your teeth, dental implants may be a perfect solution for you.

Obviously, each patient has specific needs. At Carlsbad Shores Dentistry, we thoroughly evaluate each candidate to determine the most appropriate plan of dental treatment.

We will assess your specific dental conditions and determine the treatment approach that would provide the best long-term functional and aesthetic result.

Implant dentistry candidates will need to have healthy gums and adequate bone in order to support the restoration.

A full evaluation by Dr. Hariri will help determine whether you are a good candidate for dental implants.

Important Dental Implant disclaimers:

Some things you must consider:

Dental implants are generally placed under local anesthesia. However, we do provide general anesthesia should you desire to be asleep during the procedure. Either way the surgery is totally comfortable and not painful. You can decide which type of anesthesia you wish to have as we guide you through the treatment plan.

Patients for dental implants must be non smokers, in general good health. Uncontrolled diabetics, patient with a collapsed bite, patients who take bone loss medications, patients with uncontrolled periodontal disease, or patients with healing complications are not a good candidates for successful implant treatment.

Patients who clench or grind their teeth may also not be ideal for the long term success of dental implants.

The location for the dental implant must be in ideal bone and a consultation and radiograph will be able to determine this as some patients may lack sufficient bone or the sinuses may impede implant placement.

Depending upon the location of the implant, you may need a temporary tooth to hold the space until proper healing can occur. We may also need to extract a hopeless tooth and place a bone graft before we can place an implant and these are additional treatments and costs which may be necessary.

Upon placing the implant, generally 3 months of healing time is required before we may place the titanium abutment and porcelain crown. We will be able to educate you on the quality of candidate you are upon your consultation and we look forward to meeting you!

Durability. Implant-supported tooth replacements will not move or loosen. With good care, many implants last a lifetime.

Dental implants eliminate the irritation and pain in gums as a result from dentures.

Unlike other restorations, implant dentistry does not damage other healthy teeth.

Easier eating. Dental implants restore chewing function, allowing you to eat your favorite foods with confidence and without pain.

Dental implants prevent bone loss. And because they are designed to fuse with bone, they become permanent.

Dental implants can improve your speech. Dental implants allow you to speak without the worry that teeth might slip.

Why dental implants are so effective

Dental implants replace missing teeth with ones that look, feel, and perform like your own.

If you are missing one or more teeth and would like the ability to smile, speak, and eat again with comfort and confidence, then dental implants are your answer.

Dental implants restore the natural function and aesthetics of your smile using tooth-like replacements embedded directly into the jawbone, creating a sturdy anchor for beautiful cosmetic restorations.

With implant dentistry, patients missing one, two, or several teeth no longer need to accept a lifetime of inconvenience and embarrassment.

Implant-supported bridges, crowns, and dentures provide the security and function of permanently placed teeth.

At Carlsbad Shores Dentistry we have been helping patients reshape smiles for many years.

Dr. Harari is amazing. I came in needing a dental implant, and quite terrified about getting an extraction. Dr. Harari met with me several times, reassuring me that it would all be okay; and he was right. For such an involved process it was the easiest dental procedure I've ever had. It went by so quickly, without any pain whatsoever. At one point Dr. H. said "you know you're laughing while I'm working?" It was over before I knew it. And the healing process was a breeze. I had no pain other than minor discomfort on an off merely requiring a small dose of Advil. I'm so grateful for finding Dr. Harari. A big thanks to everyone at Carlsbad Shores Family Dentistry!

I don't know of anyone who really enjoys going to the Dentist, mainly when you need to get 2 implants while visiting friends. After some research I came across Carlsbad Shores Family Dentistry that had great reviews. I made an appointment with Dr. Sean who was very thorough and explained every step of the surgery along the way. So impressed by his knowledge, their technology, professionalism and ability to put me at ease. And for a perfectionist, he works pretty fast! So 2 implants later, no pain during or after surgery and an excellent recovery I highly recommend Dr. Sean/Carlsbad Shores Family Dentistry and his Team! 5 stars!
