Losing a tooth changes much more than the aesthetics of your smile; it affects the balance of your bite, your ability to speak clearly, and your overall oral health. In the end, it results in misalignment of your other teeth and even bone deterioration in your jaw. For permanent solutions for your smile and confidence, consider dental implants in Burbank.

Olive Family Dentistry offers you a holistic and patient-oriented approach for getting back your full dental function, from the tooth roots up to their crowns. Thanks to Dr. Edvin Agadzhanov and Dr. Dmitriy Aminov's expertise, our dental implant therapy is tailored according to your unique anatomical structure and lifestyle.​ To see why implants are considered the most reliable solution, let’s look at how they actually work.

Understanding Dental Implants: The Lifelong Foundation for Your Smile

In contrast to other appliance devices, a dental implant procedure is an artificial tooth root that attaches to your jawbone. It comprises three major components that are titanium post inserted into the bone, an abutment, and the ceramic crown that corresponds in terms of color and contour to your teeth.

​Titanium has a way of attaching to bone on its own. Over time, the jawbone grows onto the implant post. This slow joining process can take a few months.

The result is a steady link that acts like a real tooth root. Because of that, the face is less likely to sag, and the bone is less likely to thin after a tooth is gone.

If you have one missing tooth, several gaps, or a loose appliance, an implant can help with firm support. It can also keep nearby teeth safe, since it does not require cutting into the enamel.

​Comparing Your Tooth Replacement Options

When addressing tooth loss, understanding the differences between available tooth replacement options helps you make an informed decision for your oral health:​

• Traditional Removable Dentures: Dentures, although easily accessible without going under the knife, are a perfect alternative for people who have lost a few or all their teeth and sit on the gum. The lack of root stimulation causes the jawbone to deteriorate further because there is no bone stimulation underneath.
• Fixed Dental Bridges: The dental bridge will serve to close the gap by fitting crowns on the existing healthy teeth surrounding the gap. Despite being sturdy and having a natural appearance, the placement of a dental bridge entails the removal of healthy enamel from the anchor teeth.
• Dental Implants: Dental implants in Burbank are totally isolated from other teeth. They do not harm any nearby tooth enamel and prevent the bone tissue from dissolving. In addition to that, implants endure biting force without damage. If you need a single dental replacement or an arch of implants such as All-on-4, implants should be chosen.

Step-by-Step: The Dental Implant Procedure at Olive Family Dentistry

Knowing each step involved in undergoing the restorative treatment makes the entire process much less daunting.

At Olive Family Dentistry, the dental implants treatment is scheduled and conducted on-site through state-of-the-art diagnostic techniques:

1. Comprehensive Examination & 3D Imaging: It starts with a complete assessment conducted by Dr. Edvin Agadzhanov or Dr. Dmitriy Aminov. Using digital scans and 3D imaging, we will assess your bone density and the precise location of the nerves and sinuses for optimal implant placement.
2. Site Preparation: In case of damaged teeth that require extraction or in cases where the bone density is insufficient, specific pre-treatment procedures (e.g., bone grafting) are carried out to create a solid basis.
3. Placement of Implant Post: During an easy procedure done with local anesthesia, the titanium post is inserted into the jawbone. Patients often experience very little pain and can continue their normal routine after just one or two days.
4. Osseointegration Stage: In the course of the next 3 to 6 months, the bone tissue grows around the post, firmly fixing it in its place.
5. Placement of Custom Crown: After the osseointegration period, a custom-made porcelain crown will be affixed to the abutment.

FAQs

1. How long does the complete dental implant procedure take from start to finish?

A typical case moves along over about three to six months. The total time can shift, depending on how fast you recover and how ready your mouth is before the procedure. The surgery, where the titanium post is put in, is done in a brief appointment. After that, you enter a longer recovery period. During this phase, the titanium post fuses with your jawbone. Once it feels solid and stable, the final custom crown can be placed.

2. Is the placement of dental implants painful?

Most people report little pain during the implant procedure. The dentist numbs the spot fully with a local anesthetic before starting. After the visit, some soreness and mild swelling can show up. This usually lasts about two to three days. If it hurts, over-the-counter pain medicine can help. Follow the aftercare directions given at the appointment.

​3. What makes dental implants superior to traditional dental bridges?

Dental implants act as artificial tooth roots, giving your smile a strong and natural foundation. Unlike bridges, they don’t require trimming nearby healthy teeth to make space. Implants also transfer the force of chewing directly into the jawbone, helping preserve bone density and slow down bone loss. In contrast, removable dentures and traditional bridges cannot provide the same long-term support, which makes implants the more reliable option for lasting oral health.

​4. Am I a suitable candidate for dental implants if I have bone loss?

People who have previously experienced bone loss in the past may still be eligible for dental implants. Dr. Edvin Agadzhanov and Dr. Dmitriy Aminov evaluate your jawbone using advanced 3D imaging. The bone density is determined and its condition assessed. If your bone density is insufficient, the doctors may recommend pre-treatment methods before the implant procedure to strengthen the area.

5. How do I maintain and care for dental implants after placement?

Maintaining a dental implant is almost the same as maintaining your natural teeth.

Brush your teeth twice a day. Floss every day and pay attention to the area surrounding the implant. Dental visits are also important. Attend check-ups and cleanings at least twice a year. Unlike a tooth, which develops cavities, an implant does not decay.
