Dental Implants in Fresno: Single and Multiple Options
Most patients choose implants because they replace the root and the visible tooth. For a single missing tooth, we place one implant and attach a crown that matches nearby teeth. For several missing teeth, we can place multiple implants or support a fixed bridge or denture. We use CBCT scanner imaging and digital impressions to plan placement precisely. That planning reduces surprises and helps you predict final results before we start.
What To Expect During Your Consultation
Your visit begins with a focused exam, including an X-ray and an intraoral scan. We review your medical history and explain treatment choices. If bone loss exists, we discuss grafting options and timelines. You’ll hear clear pros and cons for same-day provisional teeth when possible. We show you Smile Virtual previews so you can see expected changes. By the time you leave, you’ll have a personalized plan with clear next steps.
How The Implant Procedure Works
We place the titanium post in the jawbone, let the area heal, then attach the final restoration. Healing times vary; some patients get a provisional tooth the same day. Our team uses an intraoral camera and digital impressions to shape a crown, bridge, or overdenture that fits well and looks natural.
- Implant placement follows a carefully staged process: planning, placement, healing, and restoration.
- We monitor healing with X-rays and follow-up visits to protect your gumline and implant health.
Benefits Of Choosing Our Fresno Practice
Choosing Dr. Jack Ohanesian means hands-on care from a dentist who explains options clearly. Our office offers comforts that make visits easier:
- Personalized music in each room, weighted blankets, pillows, and protective dark glasses
- Coffee bar, bottled water, free Wi-Fi, and a goodie bag for new patients
We focus on long-term health, not a one-time fix. Our team uses a CBCT scanner, digital impressions, and soft tissue laser tools to improve outcomes and reduce chair time.
Caring For Implants Over Time
After restoration, implants need routine care similar to natural teeth. Brush twice a day, floss or use interdental brushes, and come in for regular checkups. We assess the implant, gumline, and bite at each visit and address early signs of trouble. If you grind your teeth, we recommend a custom mouthguard to protect your investment. Our office offers same-day appointments when issues arise, so small concerns don’t become bigger problems.
Who Is A Good Candidate And When To Act
Healthy adults with adequate bone generally qualify for dental implants in Fresno, though we evaluate each case individually. Smoking, uncontrolled diabetes, or certain medications may affect healing; we discuss risk factors openly and honestly. Missing a tooth can lead to shifting, wear, and bone loss. If you notice a gap, persistent discomfort, or difficulty chewing, contact us. Early planning often reduces the need for more invasive procedures later.
