What are Dental Implants?
The dental implants themselves are tiny titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing.
These metal anchors act as tooth root substitutes.
The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth. Small posts that protrude through the gums are then attached to the dental implant.
These posts provide stable anchors for artificial replacement teeth.
Our practice only utilizes premiere implants and components for our patients.
How Many Implants Do I Need?
Most frequently, one implant per missing tooth is placed.
Because many of the larger teeth in the back of your jaws have two or three roots, the most common approach is to replace missing back teeth with larger implants.
Our Approach
For many patients, implants can be immediately placed at the time of tooth extraction.
However, some patients require the placement of dental implants in two surgical procedures.
First, dental implants are placed within your jawbone. For the first three to six months following surgery, the dental implants are beneath the surface of the gums gradually bonding with the jawbone. You should be able to wear temporary dentures and eat a soft diet during this time. At the same time, your dentist is forming new replacement teeth.
After the dental implant has bonded to the jawbone, the second phase begins.
Dr. Pasqual will uncover the dental implants and attach small posts that protrude through the gums and will act as anchors for the artificial teeth.
When the artificial teeth are placed, these posts will not be seen. Most patients experience minimal disruption in their daily life.

Bone Grafting for Dental Implants
After tooth extraction, if the walls of the socket are very thick, they will usually fill naturally with bone in two to three months.However, when the walls of your socket are very thin (such as in your upper and lower front teeth), this type of healing will not be as predictable.
