Tooth replacement
An implant replaces the whole tooth, root included — a titanium post, an abutment, and a custom crown that behaves like it grew there. One tooth, several, or a more extensive restoration: the plan is built around you.
01
The restoration is planned around the tooth — or teeth — you’re replacing.
02
A titanium post is placed as a new root, helping protect jawbone health.
03
An abutment and custom crown complete a tooth that looks and chews like the real thing.
An implant consultation starts with your missing tooth or teeth, oral health, and goals. At Waikiki Dental in Roseville, ask how an implant-supported restoration would compare with a bridge or removable option. An examination is needed before the dentist can recommend a particular treatment.
Implant treatment generally involves placement, a period of healing, and a replacement tooth or teeth. Your dentist will explain the sequence, who provides each stage, any additional evaluation or treatment, and the follow-up visits. Healing and the timing of the final restoration vary; one-visit treatment should not be assumed.
Ask for an estimate that separates the implant, the connector and replacement tooth, and any other recommended services. Discuss whether imaging, grafting, temporary teeth, sedation, or follow-up would add to the plan. The team can explain current payment arrangements; the final estimate follows an examination.
Implants are a long-term treatment option, with results that depend on the individual case and ongoing care. Ask how to clean around your restoration, when to return for checks, and which changes should prompt a call. A durable result still needs maintenance.
Implants can support replacement of one or more teeth. The appropriate number of implants and type of restoration depend on your examination and treatment plan. Ask the dentist to compare the suitable options.
That cannot be determined from a website. Ask the dentist how your supporting bone will be evaluated and whether any additional treatment is needed before placement.
Yes. Waikiki Dental offers IV sedation consultations. The dentist must review your health and the proposed procedure before deciding whether sedation is appropriate and explaining the plan.
Placement, healing, and restoration may happen at different visits. Ask for a timeline for your case, including any preliminary treatment, temporary restoration, and follow-up.
