Dental implants represent the gold standard in tooth replacement technology. At Orange County Dental Care, Dr. Etemadieh provides premium implant solutions that look, feel, and function just like natural teeth. Using only high-quality American-made Straumann and Swiss-made Hoissen implants, we deliver results that stand the test of time. Our extensive implant training and attention to detail ensure successful outcomes that restore both function and aesthetics.
We offer comprehensive implant services including single tooth implants, multiple tooth replacement, and implant-supported dentures. Each implant is carefully placed to integrate with your jaw bone, creating a stable foundation for your new tooth. We use only premium titanium implants and custom-designed crowns that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, ensuring both functionality and natural appearance.
Unlike traditional tooth replacement options, dental implants replace both the root and crown of missing teeth. This complete replacement prevents bone loss, maintains facial structure, and provides unmatched stability and function. Implants don't require modification of adjacent teeth, are easy to maintain, and with proper care, can last a lifetime—making them a superior long-term investment in your oral health.
"My dental implant has completely changed my life. I can eat anything, and nobody can tell it's not my natural tooth. Dr. Etemadieh's work is truly exceptional."
The implant process begins with a comprehensive evaluation including digital imaging to assess bone quality and determine optimal implant placement. If needed, preparatory procedures such as bone grafting may be recommended to ensure a strong foundation. The implant placement surgery is precisely planned, and Dr. Etemadieh uses gentle techniques to minimize discomfort. Most patients report that the procedure is much easier than they anticipated.
After placement, the implant requires a healing period of several months during which it integrates with your jawbone—a process called osseointegration. Once fully integrated, we place a custom-designed crown that matches your natural teeth. Throughout the process, we ensure your comfort and provide temporary solutions so you're never without teeth. With proper care and regular check-ups, your implant can provide decades of reliable function.
