Dental Implants at Desert Maxillofacial
Dental implants are transforming lives in the Coachella Valley by restoring natural function and appearance to patients who have lost teeth. Designed to mimic the look and feel of natural teeth, implants not only boost confidence but also help preserve facial contours and prevent jawbone deterioration.
Advantages and Benefits
Dental implants offer a superior solution for replacing missing teeth,
especially when the adjacent teeth are healthy. Key benefits include:
Implants are designed to look, function, and feel like your natural teeth.
There’s no need for special cleaning or night- time removal, just brush and floss as usual.
Unlike removable dentures, implants are fixed in place and won’t slip or fall out.
The implant placement is performed in an outpatient setting using local anesthesia.
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime.
Implants not only restore oral function but also enhance your self-confidence.
Implants help maintain natural facial contours and prevent bone loss that typically occurs after tooth
The Dental Implant Procedure
Surgical Procedure: During the first surgery, a small titanium screw is placed into the jawbone at the site of the missing tooth.
Healing Period: Over the next three to six months, the implant integrates with your jawbone. During this time, you may wear temporary dentures and follow a soft diet.
Second Procedure: After successful osseointegration, Dr. Jugan will perform a minor surgery to expose the implant and attach a small post that emerges through the gum.
Prosthetic Attachment: The final step involves attaching a custom-made artificial tooth (crown) over the post, perfectly aligned
The entire process typically takes Six to eight months. In certain cases, single-stage implants, where only one surgical procedure is needed, are possible, but they Still require a minimum Of six weeks Of healing before the prosthetic placement.
A Collaborative Approach
Dental implant treatment at Desert Maxillofacial is a collaborative effort between our oral and
maxillofacial surgeon and your restorative dentist. While Dr. Jugan handles the implant surgery,
tooth extractions, and any necessary bone grafting, your restorative dentist fabricates
and fits the permanent prosthesis. This teamwork ensures a seamless, aesthetically pleasing, and
functional restoration.
