Dental Implants

Smyle Dental Bakersfield provides revolutionary dental implants that transform lives through permanent tooth restoration. Dental implants represent the most advanced solution for replacing missing teeth, offering benefits that no other tooth replacement option can match. Unlike removable dentures or traditional bridges, dental implants replace both the visible crown and the root structure of missing teeth.

The foundation of the dental implant system is a titanium post that functions as an artificial tooth root. This post is surgically placed into your jawbone, where it undergoes osseointegration – a remarkable biological process where titanium fuses with your natural bone tissue. This integration creates a permanent foundation that prevents the bone loss commonly associated with missing teeth and provides exceptional stability for your replacement teeth.

Each complete dental implant restoration consists of three essential components:

  1. The implant fixture – a titanium post that serves as the artificial tooth root
  2. The abutment – a connector piece that attaches to the implant
  3. The crown – the visible portion that resembles a natural tooth

This comprehensive system provides numerous advantages over traditional tooth replacement options:

  • Preservation of jawbone density and facial structure
  • No damage to adjacent healthy teeth
  • Improved chewing ability and speech
  • Enhanced comfort compared to removable dentures
  • Long-term durability with proper maintenance

Whether you need single tooth implant placement or full arch dental implants, our experienced team designs each treatment plan to address your specific needs, ensuring optimal functional and aesthetic results. The versatility of dental implants makes them suitable for replacing a single tooth, multiple teeth, or even an entire arch of teeth with solutions like implant-supported bridges or dentures.

Artificial Tooth Roots

Smyle Dental Bakersfield provides innovative artificial tooth roots that revolutionize tooth replacement. The concept of artificial tooth roots is what makes dental implants uniquely effective compared to other tooth replacement options. These titanium posts, artificial roots, are surgically placed into your jawbone, where they integrate with your natural bone tissue through osseointegration.

This direct bone stimulation is crucial for maintaining jawbone health. When natural teeth are lost, the jawbone no longer receives stimulation during chewing, leading to bone resorption – a process where bone tissue gradually deteriorates. This bone loss can cause facial changes and compromise remaining teeth. Dental implants are the only tooth replacement option that addresses this issue by providing continued stimulation to the jawbone, effectively preventing bone loss.

Unlike traditional bridges that require grinding down adjacent healthy teeth for support, implants are self-supporting. This conservative approach preserves your natural tooth structure while providing a standalone replacement option. Additionally, the stimulation provided by implants during chewing helps maintain bone density and prevent the jawbone deterioration that typically follows tooth loss.

The benefits of dental implants as artificial tooth roots include:

  • Prevention of bone loss in the jaw
  • Preservation of facial structure and appearance
  • Stable foundation for replacement teeth
  • Natural-feeling function when eating and speaking
  • Long-term solution that can last decades with proper care

At Smyle Dental Bakersfield, we carefully evaluate each patient’s unique oral anatomy to determine the optimal placement for these artificial tooth roots. Using advanced guided implant placement technology, we ensure precise positioning for maximum stability and aesthetic results.

Bone Density

Smyle Dental Bakersfield provides comprehensive bone density evaluations essential for successful implant outcomes. Sufficient bone density is a critical factor in dental implant success, as the implant must integrate with your jawbone to create a stable foundation for replacement teeth. Understanding bone density and addressing any deficiencies is a cornerstone of our approach to implant treatment.

When teeth are missing, the jawbone naturally begins to deteriorate due to a lack of stimulation during chewing. This bone loss can significantly impact your candidacy for dental implants and may progress at a rate of 25% in the first year after tooth loss and continue in subsequent years. During your consultation, we utilize advanced 3D imaging technology to precisely measure your bone density and volume. This detailed assessment allows us to determine if you have sufficient bone to support dental implants or if bone grafting procedures might be necessary before implant placement.

For patients with reduced bone density, we offer several specialized solutions:

  1. Bone Grafting: This procedure adds bone material to areas of deficiency, creating a stronger foundation for implants. The grafting material stimulates your body to generate new bone tissue, effectively rebuilding the jawbone. Depending on your needs, we may use your own bone, donor bone, or synthetic bone substitutes.
  2. Sinus Lifts: For upper jaw implants, this specialized procedure adds bone between your jaw and maxillary sinuses when the bone height is insufficient. This is particularly important in the posterior upper jaw, where bone is often thinner and the sinuses are in proximity.
  3. Ridge Augmentation: This technique rebuilds the alveolar ridge when it has deteriorated following tooth loss, creating a more natural contour for implant placement and improving both functional and aesthetic outcomes.
  4. Mini Implants: In some cases, these smaller-diameter implants can be an alternative for patients with reduced bone density who may not be candidates for traditional implants without extensive grafting procedures.

The prevention of bone loss is one of the most significant benefits of dental implants. Unlike dentures and bridges that sit on top of the gums, implants transfer chewing forces directly to the jawbone, providing the stimulation needed to maintain bone density and facial structure. This preservation of bone is crucial not only for the success of your implants but also for maintaining your natural facial appearance and preventing the collapsed look often associated with long-term tooth loss.

Surgical Placement

Smyle Dental Bakersfield provides precise surgical placement of dental implants using state-of-the-art techniques. The dental implant surgical procedure is a sophisticated process that requires meticulous planning and execution to ensure optimal outcomes. Our approach combines advanced technology with skilled expertise to ensure accurate implant positioning for both functional and aesthetic results. The surgical placement process typically includes several carefully orchestrated steps:

  1. Comprehensive Planning: Using digital impressions for implants and 3D cone beam CT scanning, we create detailed images of your jaw structure, nerve pathways, and sinuses. This allows us to identify the ideal position for each implant while avoiding anatomical structures. This planning phase is crucial for determining the proper implant size, type, and position to achieve optimal results.
  2. Site Preparation: The implant site is carefully prepared to create an optimal environment for the titanium post. This may include the extraction of damaged teeth, removal of infected tissue, and precise drilling to create space for the implant. In some cases, bone grafting may be performed simultaneously with implant placement.
  3. Precise Placement: Using guided implant placement technology, the titanium implant is precisely positioned in the jawbone at the ideal angle and depth. This computer-guided approach ensures accuracy within fractions of a millimeter, significantly improving outcomes compared to freehand placement techniques.
  4. Initial Stability Assessment: Once placed, we verify that the implant has achieved proper primary stability, which is crucial for successful osseointegration. This initial stability allows the healing process to begin effectively.

For your comfort during this procedure, we offer several sedation options tailored to your anxiety level and procedure complexity:

  • Local anesthesia to numb the immediate area
  • Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for mild relaxation
  • Oral sedation for moderate anxiety
  • IV sedation for deeper relaxation during more complex procedures

The healing period following implant placement is crucial for successful osseointegration. During this dental implant healing period, the titanium post fuses with your jawbone, creating a permanent foundation for your replacement tooth. This healing typically takes 3-6 months, during which we may provide a temporary restoration so you’re never without teeth.

For patients requiring multiple tooth replacement options, we offer advanced solutions like All-on-4® treatment, which can support a full arch of teeth using just four strategically placed implants. This innovative approach often eliminates the need for extensive bone grafting and can provide immediate function with a temporary restoration placed the same day as surgery.

Mini Implants

Smyle Dental Bakersfield provides innovative mini implants that offer solutions for patients with specific needs. Mini dental implants represent an advanced alternative to traditional implants in certain clinical situations. These smaller-diameter titanium posts (typically 1.8-3mm in diameter compared to 3.5-6mm for standard implants) offer unique advantages for specific patient needs and treatment scenarios.

Mini implants were initially developed for temporary use during the healing phase of traditional implants, but have evolved into a permanent solution for specific applications. Their smaller size allows for placement in areas where standard implants might not fit, such as narrow spaces between teeth or in jaws with reduced bone volume.

The key benefits of mini implants include:

  1. Less Invasive Placement: Mini implants can often be placed using a minimally invasive technique that doesn’t require extensive surgical flaps or sutures. This typically results in faster healing, less post-operative discomfort, and reduced recovery time compared to traditional implant placement.
  2. Reduced Bone Requirements: Patients with insufficient bone density who may not qualify for traditional implants without bone grafting might be candidates for mini implants. This can eliminate the need for additional surgical procedures, reducing both treatment time and cost.
  3. More Affordable: The simplified placement procedure, reduced surgical time, and smaller titanium posts often make mini implants a more cost-effective option for patients concerned about the financial aspect of tooth replacement. This can make implant treatment accessible to more patients who might otherwise settle for less optimal solutions.
  4. Immediate Loading: In many cases, mini implants can support a denture or crown immediately after placement, eliminating the typical 3-6 month waiting period required with traditional implants. This immediate function is particularly beneficial for patients who don’t want to be without teeth during the healing process.

Mini implants are particularly effective for specific applications:

  • Stabilizing lower dentures that shift during speaking or eating
  • Replacing small teeth in narrow spaces, such as lower incisors
  • Providing solutions for patients who cannot undergo more invasive surgical procedures due to health concerns
  • Serving as temporary supports during the healing phase of traditional implants
  • Replacing teeth in areas with limited interdental space

During your consultation at Smyle Dental Bakersfield, we will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine whether mini implants are appropriate for your specific situation. While they offer significant advantages in certain cases, traditional implants remain the gold standard for long-term tooth replacement in most scenarios due to their greater surface area for osseointegration and ability to withstand stronger chewing forces.

Crowns

Smyle Dental Bakersfield provides exquisite implant crowns that complete your smile restoration with natural beauty. The crown is the visible portion of your dental implant restoration – the part that looks and functions like a natural tooth. After your implant has successfully integrated with your jawbone, we create a custom crown that blends seamlessly with your surrounding teeth to complete your smile transformation.
Our implant crowns are crafted from high-quality materials that mimic the translucency, color, and texture of natural teeth. Depending on the location of your implant and your specific needs, we may recommend:
All-Ceramic Crowns: Ideal for front teeth, these crowns offer the most natural appearance with exceptional translucency and light reflection properties that mimic natural enamel.

Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal Crowns: These provide a good balance of strength and aesthetics, making them suitable for both front and back teeth.

Zirconia Crowns: Extremely durable and highly aesthetic, these crowns are particularly well-suited for back teeth that endure significant chewing forces.

Using advanced CAD/CAM restoration technology, we design each crown to match your existing teeth perfectly in shape, size, and shade. This digital design process allows for incredible precision and customization, ensuring that your restoration is virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth.
The crown attaches to your dental implant via an abutment – a connector piece that links the implant fixture to the crown. This implant abutment and crown system works together to create a restoration that functions just like a natural tooth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with complete confidence.
The benefits of our custom implant crowns include:
Natural Look and Function: Our crowns are designed to match your natural teeth perfectly, creating a seamless smile while providing full chewing function.

Superior Durability: Made from high-quality ceramic materials, our crowns can withstand normal chewing forces for many years, often lasting 15 years or more with proper care.

Biocompatibility: The materials used are compatible with oral tissues, preventing allergic reactions or irritation that can sometimes occur with metal restorations.

Easy Maintenance: You can care for your implant crown just like your natural teeth, with regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups.

For patients needing to replace multiple teeth, we offer implant-supported bridges and full-arch restorations. These solutions use strategic implant placement to support multiple replacement teeth, providing a more stable and bone-preserving alternative to traditional bridges or dentures. The result is a restoration that looks natural, functions properly, and helps maintain your oral health for years to come.
