At Beachwood Dental, under the expert care of Dr. Farshad Taghizadeh, dental implants are a transformative solution for those seeking to restore the function and aesthetics of their smile. Dental implants are titanium posts surgically positioned into the jawbone beneath the gums.
Once in place, these implants function like artificial tooth roots, allowing Dr. Taghizadeh to mount replacement teeth onto them.

With a natural look and feel, dental implants offer a durable and long-lasting solution for a confident smile.

Why Should I Get Dental Implants?
Dental implants are an ideal choice for anyone looking to regain the full function and beauty of their smile. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants provide a permanent solution that mimics the natural tooth structure. This means you can eat, speak, and smile with confidence, knowing your teeth are secure and stable.
Additionally, dental implants help preserve the jawbone, preventing the bone deterioration that often accompanies tooth loss. This not only maintains your facial structure but also contributes to better oral health. With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a worthwhile investment in your dental health.
The Benefits Of Dental Implants
Natural Appearance
Dental implants are designed to look, feel, and function like your natural teeth. This ensures that your smile appears seamless and enhances your self-esteem, allowing you to engage confidently in social and professional settings.
Improved Oral Health
Unlike traditional bridges, dental implants do not require the alteration of healthy adjacent teeth. This preserves more of your natural tooth structure, improving your long-term oral health. Implants are also easier to clean compared to dental bridges, which helps you maintain good oral hygiene.
Durability and Longevity
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, offering a durable solution to tooth loss. Their high success rate and resilience make them a reliable choice for those seeking a permanent fix to missing teeth.
The Dental Implant Treatment Process
Initial Consultation and Assessment
The first step in the dental implant process is a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Farshad Taghizadeh at Beachwood Dental. During this visit, Dr. Taghizadeh will conduct a thorough examination, including X-rays and 3D imaging, to assess the health of your jawbone and determine the best placement for your implants. This step is crucial to ensure that the implants will integrate properly with your bone structure, providing a strong foundation for your new teeth.
Implant Placement Surgery
Once the treatment plan is finalized, the next step is the surgical placement of the dental implants. This procedure involves inserting the titanium posts into the jawbone. Performed under local anesthesia, implant placement is a precise and delicate process that typically requires a lengthy healing period. Initial recovery is complete after just a few weeks, but during the next 3-6 months, the jawbone grows around the implant permanently in a process called osseointegration, securing it firmly in place.
Abutment and Crown Placement
After the implants have successfully fused with the jawbone, the final step involves attaching an abutment to the implant, which serves as a connector for the replacement tooth or crown. The crown is custom-made to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless appearance. Dr. Taghizadeh will ensure the fit is perfect, allowing you to enjoy a fully restored smile with improved function and aesthetics.
