Vernon Dental Specialties utilizes the most advanced technology available in implant dentistry.

Our digital workflow streamlines the treatment process, reducing the number of appointments needed while improving accuracy and patient comfort. From initial consultation to final restoration, we leverage technology to enhance every aspect of your implant experience.

Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone to replace the roots of missing teeth. Once the implant integrates with the bone through a process called osseointegration, it can support a crown, bridge, or denture. This three-component system (implant, abutment, and restoration) provides the most natural and durable tooth replacement option available.

The biocompatible titanium used in dental implants has been proven safe and effective through decades of research and clinical use. The implant post serves as an artificial tooth root, providing the stimulation needed to maintain jawbone health and prevent the bone loss that typically occurs with missing teeth.

Dental implants offer numerous advantages over traditional tooth replacement options:

Permanent Solution

With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them the most cost-effective long-term solution for tooth replacement.

Implants don't require alteration of healthy adjacent teeth, unlike traditional bridges.

Adjacent Tooth Protection

Implants are easier to clean and maintain than bridges or dentures, supporting better overall oral health.

Improved Oral Health

The stability and natural appearance of implants restore confidence in your smile and speech.

Enhanced Confidence

Implants restore full chewing capacity, allowing you to eat all your favorite foods without restriction.

Natural Function

Unlike dentures or bridges, implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and maintaining facial structure.

Implant Placement Surgery

The implant placement procedure is typically performed in our comfortable San Bernardino office under local anesthesia. For anxious patients, we offer various sedation options to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. The surgery itself usually takes 30-60 minutes per implant, depending on the complexity of your case.

Our minimally invasive surgical techniques reduce post-operative discomfort and promote faster healing. In many cases, we can place temporary restorations immediately after implant placement, so you don't have to go without teeth during the healing period. Detailed post-operative instructions and follow-up care ensure optimal healing and implant success.

Your implant journey begins with a thorough consultation at our San Bernardino office. During this visit, we conduct a comprehensive examination of your oral health, review your medical history, and discuss your goals and expectations. Advanced 3D imaging provides detailed information about your bone structure and helps us develop a customized treatment plan.

We take the time to educate you about your options and answer all your questions. Our team believes that informed patients make the best decisions about their dental care, so we ensure you understand every aspect of your proposed treatment. We also provide detailed cost estimates and discuss financing options to make treatment accessible.

Initial Consultation and Evaluation

Once healing is complete and osseointegration is successful, we place your final restoration. Whether it's a crown, bridge, or denture, your restoration is custom-designed to provide optimal function and aesthetics. We use the highest quality materials and work with skilled laboratory technicians to ensure exceptional results.

The final restoration is carefully adjusted to ensure proper fit, function, and appearance. We may require several appointments to achieve the perfect result, but our attention to detail ensures that you'll be completely satisfied with your new teeth.

Treatment Planning and Design

Using advanced computer software, we virtually plan your entire implant treatment before surgery begins. This digital planning process allows us to determine the optimal implant size, position, and angulation for your specific anatomy. We can also show you the expected results before treatment starts, ensuring that your goals and expectations are aligned with the treatment plan.

For complex cases, we may create surgical guides that ensure precise implant placement according to the planned design. This computer-guided approach improves accuracy, reduces surgical time, and often allows for less invasive procedures with faster healing times.

After implant placement, a healing period of 3-6 months allows the implant to integrate with your jawbone through osseointegration. During this time, new bone cells grow around and attach to the implant surface, creating a strong, permanent bond. Regular follow-up appointments allow us to monitor your healing progress and ensure that integration is proceeding normally.

We provide comprehensive post-operative care instructions and are always available to address any questions or concerns during your healing period. Our goal is to ensure your comfort and success throughout the entire treatment process.

Healing and Integration

For patients missing individual teeth, single tooth implants offer the most conservative and effective replacement option. This treatment preserves healthy adjacent teeth while providing excellent function and aesthetics. Single tooth implants are ideal for patients who want the most natural and durable solution available.

When multiple teeth are missing, we offer several implant options including individual implants for each missing tooth or implant-supported bridges that can replace multiple teeth with fewer implants. Our multiple tooth replacement solutions are customized to your specific needs and goals.

Qualified patients may be candidates for same-day implants, which allow for tooth extraction, implant placement, and temporary crown placement all in a single appointment. This innovative approach can dramatically reduce treatment time while providing immediate aesthetic and functional benefits.

For patients with extensive tooth loss, our full mouth restoration options can provide a complete set of fixed teeth supported by dental implants. Treatments like All-on-4 and All-on-6 can transform your smile and function in a single day, providing immediate improvement in your quality of life.

At Vernon Dental Specialties, we prioritize your comfort and convenience throughout your implant journey. Our modern San Bernardino facility is designed to provide a relaxing environment, and our caring team ensures that you feel comfortable and informed at every step of your treatment.
