Restore your smile, confidence, and ability to eat comfortably with single and multiple tooth replacement at MR Dental Aesthetics. Whether you’re missing one tooth or several, Dr. Mahnaz Rashti specializes in custom implant solutions to restore function, prevent bone loss, and blend seamlessly with your natural teeth for a beautiful, lasting result.
Replace One or Several Missing Teeth With Implants
Single and multiple dental implants in Los Angeles provide a permanent, natural-looking solution for restoring lost teeth. Dr. Rashti offers cutting-edge, implant-based restorations that replace missing teeth without affecting surrounding teeth. Implants are titanium posts surgically drilled into the jawbone, where they replace the missing tooth root. Over time, implants fuse with your jawbone to prevent bone loss and provide a stable foundation for restorations like crowns, bridges, or dentures to replace one or several missing teeth.
Benefits of Single/Multiple Dental Implants:
- Restores the ability to chew and speak comfortably
- Prevents bone loss and jawbone deterioration
- Maintains facial structure and prevents premature aging
- Looks and feels natural, blending seamlessly with existing teeth
- Provides long-term durability, lasting decades or even a lifetime
- Eliminates the need to alter or damage healthy adjacent teeth
- Offers better stability than traditional dentures or bridges
- Improves oral health by preventing the shifting of surrounding teeth
- Enhances self-confidence with a complete, natural-looking smile
- Requires minimal maintenance, similar to caring for natural teeth
Types of Single or Multiple Dental Implants
Implant-Supported Crowns (For Single Missing Teeth)
An implant-supported crown replaces a single missing tooth using an implant as the artificial root and a custom-made crown as the visible tooth. The implant, made of titanium, is surgically placed into the jawbone, where it undergoes osseointegration—a natural process in which bone cells grow around the implant, securing it in place. After healing, a custom porcelain crown is attached, designed to match your natural teeth in color, shape, and function.
Implant-Supported Bridges (For Multiple Missing Teeth)
An implant-supported bridge is ideal when two or more adjacent teeth are missing. Instead of using natural teeth as support (as traditional bridges do), this option relies on dental implants as strong, independent anchors. Implants are placed at strategic locations within the jawbone, and a custom-designed bridge is attached to them, restoring multiple missing teeth in a row. Since the implants stimulate the jawbone, this approach prevents bone loss and provides stability.
Implant-Supported Dentures (For an Entire Arch of Missing Teeth)
For patients missing an entire arch of teeth, implant-supported dentures provide a secure and comfortable alternative to traditional removable dentures. Unlike conventional dentures that rest on the gums and require adhesives, implant-supported dentures are anchored by two to six strategically placed implants, creating a fixed restoration that feels more natural. These implants gradually integrate with the jawbone, improving chewing ability, speech, and comfort.
Single/Multiple Missing Tooth Replacement FAQs
How Long Do Dental Implants Last?
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. The implant itself is designed to fuse with the jawbone permanently, while the crown, bridge, or denture attached to it may need replacement after 10–15 years due to normal wear.
Is the Implant Placement Procedure Painful?
Dr. Rashti uses advanced techniques and local anesthesia to ensure a comfortable, pain-free experience. Most patients report minimal discomfort, similar to a simple tooth extraction. Post-surgical soreness is easily managed with prescribed or over-the-counter pain relievers.
How Long Does the Dental Implant Process Take?
The total timeline varies based on your healing and treatment needs. Implant placement surgery is completed in one day, but osseointegration (when the implant fuses with the jawbone) can take 3–6 months. Once healed, the final restoration (crown, bridge, or denture) is placed.
What if I Don’t Have Enough Bone for Implants?
If your jawbone has deteriorated, Dr. Rashti may recommend a bone graft to rebuild the area before implant placement. Thanks to advanced techniques, many patients who were once told they weren’t candidates for implants can still receive them with proper bone augmentation.
Are Dental Implants Better Than Bridges or Dentures?
Dental implants offer superior stability, longevity, and bone preservation compared to traditional bridges and dentures. Unlike bridges, implants don’t require altering healthy teeth, and unlike dentures, they won’t slip, cause discomfort, or require adhesives.
How Do I Know if I’m a Good Candidate?
The best way to determine if dental implants are right for you is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Rashti. She will assess your oral health, jawbone density, and overall medical history to create a personalized treatment plan.
