The Complete Guide to Dental Implants at Joshua Dental
At Joshua Dental in Pasadena, CA, we specialize in comprehensive dental implant solutions tailored to your unique needs. Our in-house services encompass every stage of the dental implant process, from initial consultation to final restoration, eliminating the need for external referrals.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a durable and natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth. They restore the appearance and function of your smile, allowing you to eat, speak and smile confidently. Whether you’re missing a single tooth or multiple teeth, implants can provide a stable foundation for crowns, bridges or dentures.
Our Dental Implant Process
1. Comprehensive Consultation and CT Scan
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation, during which we assess your oral health and discuss your goals. We utilize advanced imaging, including a CT scan, to evaluate your jawbone structure and plan the precise placement of your implants.
2. Implant Placement Surgery
The implant procedure is performed in our office, ensuring continuity of care. Depending on your specific needs, the appointment can range from 1 to 5 hours. We place the titanium implant into your jawbone, where it will integrate over time to provide a stable base for your new tooth.
3. Healing and Osseointegration
After placement, a healing period of several months allows the implant to fuse with the jawbone—a process known as osseointegration. This is crucial for the long-term success of the implant.
4. Restoration Fabrication and Placement
Once healing is complete, we take impressions to create your custom restoration, whether it’s a crown, bridge or denture. Our goal is to ensure that your new tooth matches seamlessly with your natural teeth in both appearance and function.
Smile Club Membership and Warranty
As part of our commitment to your long-term oral health, we offer the Smile Club membership plan. Members receive a 10-year warranty on all dental implants, provided the membership is maintained. This plan also includes regular check-ups and cleanings, ensuring your implants—and your smile—remain in excellent condition.
