Dental implants: an innovative tooth replacement solution
Natural-looking dental implants represent the most sophisticated and potentially the longest-lasting solution for the replacement of missing teeth. A dental implant can last a lifetime as long as the procedure is navigated and performed by an experienced dental implant specialist in Temecula or the region. Additionally, the patient should be diligent about aftercare and follow-up visits during the recovery process and committed to maintaining proper hygiene and care in the future.
Dr. Tsvetov is an oral and dental surgery specialist with experience in handling complex cases and performing complex procedures on patients in Temecula and nearby areas across Riverside County. During your free initial consultation with Dr. Tsvetov, he will determine if you are a good candidate for a dental implant procedure and if single or full-arch implants are optimal solutions for you. If needed, Dr. Tsvetov can also perform additional complex procedures such as bone grafting or sinus lift.

Proven treatment solutions for your lasting satisfaction
Not every patient is an ideal candidate for dental implants and not every dental implant procedure is straightforward. For patients who are dealing with considerable jawbone deterioration, another form of treatment may be more suitable. Some patients may need to undergo additional procedures before they are ready for the placement of dental implants in Temecula. Rest assured that Dr. Tsvetov will guide you through the procedure to help you reach an informed decision in your best interest.
Frequently Asked Questions
Dental implants look virtually identical to natural teeth, regardless of whether you need to replace one tooth or require full-arch dental implants. The planning of implant placement in a strategic location is a critical step in your dental implant procedure. Whether it’s an entire bridge, a single dental implant or multiple implants, the implants will be sized according to the 3-D image or a CT scan results showing your bone volume, which enables your surgeon to the most appropriate, most natural-looking implant possible at the site.
But what happens when there is simply not enough healthy jawbone for the placement of an implant? This scenario could compromise the durability of the implant and, by extension, the functional outcome and long-term success of the procedure on the whole.
Dr. Tsvetov has experience in handling difficult dental implant cases across the Temecula Valley. After evaluating your situation and expected outcome, he will recommend the course of action that makes most sense in your particular case.
Dental implants cannot restore bone loss but they can halt bone loss and prevent further deterioration of the jawbone. This helps maintain the function and physical structure and appearance of your teeth and jawbone. Additionally, your dental implant specialist in Temecula may resort to special techniques to restore your bone loss.
At our Temecula office, even a complex tooth extraction is a quick procedure. But how long will you have to wait before you can get an implant to replace the missing tooth?
Dr. Tsvetov can place the implant as soon as you have recovered from the extraction. It is important not to wait too long after a dental extraction to get the implant placed, as this may result in excessive bone loss, which could make your dental implant procedure more difficult and more complicated, as well as more expensive.
It is entirely up to you. You can opt for:
- Local anesthesia which will numb the area of the missing tooth. You will be awake throughout the procedure.
- Twilight anesthesia which will render you sedated, but not unconscious.
- Intravenous anesthesia which will put you to sleep. You will be completely unconscious throughout the procedure.
Your choice may also depend on the type of dental implant procedure you are undergoing. For a single dental implant, the placement procedure should take no longer than 20-30 minutes. An All-on-4 procedure is more time-consuming, but it typically lasts no more than four hours. If you choose to get full-arch dental implants at our center in Temecula, you’ll know what to expect as your doctor will guide you through the whole procedure.
On average, it takes about 3 months for the gums to fully heal after a dental implant procedure. Our patients from Temecula and surrounding areas can promote the healing process by following doctor’s aftercare instructions and returning for regular follow-up visits during which your oral surgeon will monitor your healing process.
After you get a single dental implant or full-arch implants, it will likely take about 3 months for the gums to fully heal and for the implant or implants to fuse with your jawbone.
In the case of All-on-4 dental implants, for instance, it will take roughly 3 to 6 months to fully complete the treatment process. It is at this second stage of the process that you will have your permanent dental bridge attached to the implants to replace the temporary bridge that was placed during the all on 4 procedure. This customized fixed dental bridge will be made through a precision-crafted, digital process.
Dr. Tsvetov will guide you through all the steps of the procedure for placing full-arch implants during your initial consultation in our Temecula office. We welcome patients from across Riverside County.
With proper care and hygiene, dental implants can be a permanent solution and last a lifetime. Unlike conventional or snap-in dentures which tend to accelerate the patient’s jawbone deterioration process, dental implants do just the opposite: they restore the natural support of the jawbone.
However, there are certain considerations to be taken into account. Namely, neglect and improper oral hygiene on behalf of the patient and changes to the patient’s overall general health or medication regimen can have a detrimental effect on the outcome, which is why the patient needs to maintain a vigilant schedule of regular follow-up visits for their full-arch dental implants.
During these visits, the dental implant specialist will be on the lookout for:
- Potential bone loss around the implants. Regular brushing and flossing can reduce the risk of bone loss and improve the patient’s outcome considerably.
- Bone deterioration caused by uncontrolled diseases such as diabetes or newly adopted medication regimens which alter the patient’s immune response.
Snap-in dentures are a solid option compared to more traditional options. However, they have limitations. They need to be adjusted periodically and some patients complain about food particles getting stuck behind them. For patients who want a more durable and convenient solution, full-arch dental implants in Temecula are generally a better choice, since they’re permanently fixed and easier to maintain.
A full-arch implant is a comprehensive solution that involves replacing an entire row of teeth with implants that are permanently anchored in the jaw. This method usually involves placing four to six implants to support a full set of prosthetic teeth. Full-arch dental implants offer a strong, stable base that closely mimics natural teeth.
If you are considering a dental implant procedure, do not hesitate to contact us straight away. The sooner you contact us to schedule your free evaluation appointment with Dr. Tsvetov, the sooner we can start making arrangements for the procedure and the better its outcome is going to be. If you are not a candidate for the procedure or if additional steps are needed to make you eligible, Dr. Tsvetov will help you make an informed decision.
Whether you are contemplating a single dental implant, multiple strategically placed implants or All-on-4 implants, time is of the essence. Undergoing the procedure will help prevent further bone loss and restore your chewing functionality and the natural appearance of your teeth and facial features. There’s no need to struggle with snap-in dentures when you have the opportunity to get our quality single or full-arch implants in Temecula.
