With dental implants, you have the opportunity to show off a beautiful smile again. It allows you to replace missing teeth with artificial, but natural-looking ones. They do not require extensive maintenance and can fit perfectly without complications or discomfort. Patients prefer these to dentures.
A typical dental implant procedure begins with an evaluation to determine if it is necessary. You will make this decision when you are missing one or multiple teeth. Dental implants can be the best alternative if your jawbone has reached full growth and you are unable to wear dentures or bridges.
The implant screws will be placed in your jawbone through surgical methods. This part of the procedure can be safely completed with anesthetics. This screw allows for the eventual restoration to be supported.
After the insertion of the implant, a temporary will be designed and provided to match your teeth’s natural appearance and functions. With a temporary crown, you can continue to chew comfortably and perform your regular oral hygiene routine.
Once the permanent crowns have been completed, they will replace the temporary ones. They provide aesthetic and functional benefits that will maximize the quality of your smile.

When you have lost teeth or find yourself missing them, it can be a bit frustrating. It can be difficult to not have the full range of teeth to use, and you probably won’t like the way that it looks. Fortunately, dental implants grant you the ability to add a substitute tooth back into the mix that will leave you looking better than ever. Our processes mimic your real teeth with roots and all so that you can chew confidently and smile wide for every single photo!
There are a variety of reasons that you might be looking into implants as an option, but we like to focus on the real benefits of a good implants. To start, dental implants full replace the missing root of a tooth. You might not think that your roots are used for much more than connecting your teeth, but they actually dramatically influence the integrity of your jawbone. Roots stimulate your jawbone so that it can be reinforced. This is important for impact damage as well as chewing. Fortunately, with an implant, the synthetic root structure can stimulate this same resiliency for you.
A dental implant involves taking a titanium cylinder and surgically adding it to your jaw. This will act as the replacement for your root so that the synthetic tooth can be applied on top. The end result is a complete replacement for the tooth that you lost. It can be used to fill a space, make your smile look that much better, or even provide comfort and support for your other teeth.
Implants Can Be Used To:- Replace damaged or lost teeth
- Replace teeth that have been pulled due to dental or medical problems
- Offer durable alternatives to teeth that are missing for any reason
- Mimic the feeling, look, and function of real teeth
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How much do dental implants cost in Downey?
The investment depends on how many implants you need, whether any bone grafting is required, and the final restoration (crown, bridge, or full arch). We give every patient a written estimate at the consultation, accept most PPO and HMO plans as well as Denti-Cal and Medi-Cal, and offer financing through CareCredit, Cherry, and Sunbit. Ask about our current dental implant special, too.
Do dental implants hurt?
Placement is done with local anesthesia, so you should not feel pain during the procedure — most patients say it is easier than they expected. Mild soreness or swelling for a few days afterward is normal and is usually managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. If you feel anxious, we also offer sedation options for added comfort.
How long do dental implants last?
With good oral hygiene and regular checkups, the titanium implant post is designed to last for decades, and often a lifetime. The crown or restoration on top may eventually need replacement after many years of normal wear, similar to any dental work.
Am I a candidate for dental implants?
Most adults in good general health with enough jawbone are candidates. If you have lost bone where a tooth has been missing, bone grafting can often rebuild the site. Conditions like uncontrolled diabetes or smoking can affect healing, so Dr. Aljanedi reviews your health and takes 3-D imaging to confirm the best plan for you.
How long does the dental implant process take?
It varies. After the implant is placed, it usually needs a few months to fuse with the bone before the final crown is attached. Some cases qualify for faster timelines. We map out your exact schedule at the consultation so you know what to expect from start to finish.
What are the alternatives to dental implants?
Bridges and dentures can also replace missing teeth and may cost less up front. Implants stand out because they preserve jawbone and do not rely on neighboring teeth. During your visit we compare every option honestly so you can choose what fits your goals and budget.
