What Should You Expect from Dental Implant Placement?
When replacing lost teeth, restorative treatments vary to meet your dental needs. Most dentists agree that implants have more to offer regarding functionality, comfort, and appearance. If you live in or near Sacramento, California, you can visit Arden Park Dental Care for dental implant placement. Dr. Shahnaz L. Formoli answers your questions about implants here.
Why should I consider implants to replace lost teeth?
Tooth loss impacts oral health, general health, and quality of life. Dental implants meet these concerns head-on! Implants enhance oral health by preventing bone loss, dental drift, and reducing the risk of decay and gum disease. Good oral health protects your general health from systemic health issues. Implant teeth look, act, and feel like natural teeth, allowing you to eat, talk, and live the lifestyle you enjoy most with greater confidence and ease.
What can you expect from dental implant placement?
Implant placement is done under anesthesia to ensure you’re comfortable and pain-free. Dr. Formoli also offers sedation to help you relax during your treatment. Through X-rays and other imaging, we’ll decide in advance where to place the implants for optimal fusion with your bone tissue. After the anesthesia takes effect, we will make a small incision in your gum to access your jawbone. A hole will be drilled into your jawbone, the implant will be inserted, and your gum will be sutured closed. Next comes four to six months waiting for the implant to integrate with your bone and heal. After healing, we’ll proceed with attaching your new teeth.
How successful is implant surgery?
Implants have a high success rate of 98% in most cases. If you have sufficient bone density for supporting implants, osseointegration will be achieved successfully. If needed, Dr. Formoli can also perform a bone graft to bolster your bone support.

What care do implants need?
You care for implants like natural teeth by brushing and flossing them daily. Although implants can’t get cavities, there’s always the risk of infection around your gum tissues. Good oral care and routine dental cleanings can reduce that risk.
How many teeth can implants replace?
Implants can replace as many teeth as needed, from one to your entire smile. Dental crowns are paired with single implants to replace one or two lost teeth. A fixed bridge supported by multiple implants can replace a row of consecutive missing teeth. An implant denture can replace all your teeth, using all-on-4 implants as a support system.
How long do implants last?
Implants can last decades if you’re diligent with your oral care. Many people keep them for life. Â
