Benefits of Dental Implants

  • Protects your jawbone

    Implants are the only replacement that stimulates bone the way a natural root does, helping prevent the sunken look that follows tooth loss.

  • No drilling healthy teeth

    Unlike a traditional bridge, implants stand on their own, so neighboring teeth stay untouched.

  • Eat what you love

    Steak, apples, and corn on the cob are back on the menu with chewing strength close to natural teeth.

  • Built to last

    With good home care and regular checkups, implants have long-term success rates above 95% and can last a lifetime.

Why one-office implant care matters

Many practices refer implant surgery to one office and the crown to another. That hand-off adds appointments, cost, and room for miscommunication. At Baker Ranch, Dr. Khoshsar plans the final tooth first, then places the implant in exactly the position that tooth needs—so function and aesthetics are designed together.

His D.M.D. was completed with honors in Fixed Prosthodontics—the discipline of designing crowns and bridges—and his post-graduate fellowship focused specifically on implantology and full-mouth reconstruction.

Single implants, implant bridges, and full arches

A single implant replaces one missing tooth. When several teeth in a row are missing, two implants can support a bridge of three or four teeth. When most or all teeth are failing, a full-arch solution like All-on-4® can replace an entire upper or lower arch on as few as four implants.

If bone has been lost, bone grafting or a sinus lift can rebuild the foundation. Many patients who were told elsewhere that they were not candidates find they have excellent options after a 3D evaluation.

What to expect, step by step

  1. 1

    3D consultation

    We capture a CBCT scan and digital impressions to see bone volume, nerves, and sinus position before anything is planned.

  2. 2

    Guided placement

    The implant is placed with a precision surgical guide, often with sedation, in a visit that typically takes about an hour.

  3. 3

    Healing & integration

    Over roughly three to six months, the implant bonds with bone. You wear a temporary tooth so you never go without a smile.

  4. 4

    Final restoration

    Dr. Khoshsar designs and places a custom porcelain crown shade-matched to your neighboring teeth.

FAQ

Dental Implants questions, answered

Don't see your question? Ask our AI Smile Guide or call our team—we're happy to help.

Does getting a dental implant hurt?

Most patients say it is easier than a tooth extraction. The area is fully numbed, and oral or IV-style sedation is available. Afterward, most people manage with over-the-counter pain relievers for a few days.

How long do dental implants last?

The implant post itself can last a lifetime with proper care. The crown on top typically lasts 15 years or more before it may need replacement due to normal wear.

Am I too old for dental implants?

There is no upper age limit. Overall health and bone quality matter far more than age, and we regularly place implants for patients in their 70s, 80s, and beyond.

Can I get a tooth the same day?

In many cases, yes. When bone is stable, we can place an implant immediately after an extraction and attach a temporary tooth the same day.

Does insurance cover dental implants?

Coverage varies. Many PPO plans now contribute toward implants or the crown. We check your benefits for free and offer financing for the remaining balance.
