Dental Implants
Having to deal with a missing tooth or teeth can be very frustrating to say the least. If you are not able to eat solid foods well or you are having speech problems from the missing tooth, we can help. Dental implants can be used for one or multiple missing teeth; they can even be used to stabilize
dentures. Their function is to replace the tooth root, providing stability and strength while looking natural.
These are actual patients treated by Dr. Jamil Alkhoury - "Before" and "after" results may not occur for all patients.
Dental implants are titanium rods that are inserted into the bone of the jaw. The average healing process is six to twelve weeks for the jawbone and the implant to fuse together. This will create the foundation for your new tooth replacement. Once you have healed, an abutment is attached to the implant. This small connector post will be topped with a replacement special type of dental crown. The crown is made of porcelain and it looks like a beautiful natural tooth.
Dr. Jamil Alkhoury and his friendly, talented staff at
Brentwood Family Dental have the skill, training, and artistry to address your dental needs beautifully. Dental implants can be the best investment you have ever made in the beauty and function of your smile. Many patients find dental implants have filled the gaps in their smile and in their self-esteem. Dental implants are made to look natural and no one will even know you have one.
Full or partial dentures, or dental bridges have been the traditional solutions for missing teeth, but they don't always work for everyone. Thanks to the advances in dentistry, a new option is available; dental implants are now considered the preferred choice for replacing missing teeth. We encourage saving natural healthy teeth, but when that is not possible, a dental implant is a terrific replacement. They have saved thousands of smiles and they continue to bring happiness to dental patients worldwide. Dental implants boost confidence and self-esteem by improving your oral health and beauty. They are cared for just like natural teeth and they can last a lifetime with proper care.

What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is the next best solution when saving your natural tooth is no longer possible. A dental implant is a titanium post surgically inserted into the jawbone where the missing tooth used to be. Made from biocompatible titanium, the implant naturally fuses with the jawbone to form a stable foundation. Once healed, the implant is completed with a customized dental crown designed to look and function like natural teeth.
What can I expect from the dental implant procedure?
The procedure starts with a consultation with an implant dentist. The dentist will examine your jawbone with dental X-rays and 3D scans to determine whether it's sufficient to support an implant. If necessary, a bone graft will be recommended to restore lost bone tissue.
Next, the dental implant is surgically placed in a precise position within the jawbone. Our dentist ensures the implant is placed at the correct angle, depth, and position to provide optimal alignment and functionality.
After implant surgery, the dentist will leave your implants for a few months to heal and fuse with the jawbone. During this phase, observe optimal oral hygiene, quit smoking, and adhere to follow-up visits to ensure an event-free recovery. Once your implant heals, the dentist will attach an abutment—a small prosthetic tool that juts out of the gum line to link with the replacement teeth. The last step is to top off your implant with a natural-looking crown.
Is the treatment painful?
Although implant placement requires surgery, your comfort is a top priority throughout the procedure. Before your treatment, the dentist will administer powerful anesthetics to ensure you don't feel any pain. If you need additional support to stay relaxed, sedation dentistry can help you feel calm during your treatment.
Are dental implants worth it?
While dental bridges and dentures can replace missing teeth, nothing compares to dental implants. In addition to the benefits offered by other tooth replacement options, implants provide these distinctive advantages.
- Jawbone preservation by providing functional stimulation
- Dental implants don't move or slip when eating or talking
- They can last many years and even a lifetime with proper maintenance
- Dental implants are stand-alone teeth replacements—they don't alter the stability of the nearby teeth
Does insurance cover dental implants?
Most dental insurance plans cover part of the cost of dental implants. However, coverage varies depending on the provider and the specific plan, so it's a good idea to check with your insurance company and see what portion, if any, is covered.
How do I maintain my dental implants?
Like any investment, maintaining your implants is crucial for their functionality and longevity. Maintain your implant by brushing, flossing, and visiting a dentist bi-annually.
