The Dental Implant Surgery Process

Step-by-Step to a Confident Smile
  • Consultation & Planning – We evaluate your bone health, take digital scans, and create a personalized treatment plan.
  • Surgical Placement – The titanium post is placed into the jawbone under anesthesia for a pain-free experience.
  • Healing & Integration – Over several months, the implant fuses with the jawbone (osseointegration), ensuring stability.
  • Restoration Placement – Once healed, a custom crown, bridge, or denture is attached to complete your smile.

FAQs

Answers to Your Most Common Dental Questions
  • Am I a candidate for dental implant surgery in Bakersfield, CA?

    You may be a candidate if you’re missing one or more teeth and have healthy gums and adequate jawbone density to support implants. If bone loss has occurred, our team may recommend a bone grafting procedure to build up the area before surgery. A full evaluation with digital scans at Laser Dental Bakersfield will determine the best plan for you.

  • What should I expect during a dental implant procedure?

    Dental implant surgery is usually completed in stages. During the first step, a titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone. Healing and bone integration take place over the next several months. Once the implant has fused securely with the bone, an abutment is added, followed by a custom crown or restoration. Temporary solutions may be provided during healing so you never go without a tooth.

  • How long does recovery from implant surgery take?

    Initial healing generally takes 1–2 weeks, though full integration of the implant with the jawbone may require 3–6 months. During this time, you may be fitted with temporary restorations to maintain your smile and function. Our team provides detailed aftercare instructions to help ensure a smooth recovery.

  • How should I care for my dental implants after surgery?

    Just like natural teeth, implants require consistent brushing and flossing, along with routine professional cleanings. Special tools such as interdental brushes may be recommended to clean around the implant post. Avoid chewing very hard foods during recovery, and follow all care instructions to reduce the risk of complications and ensure long-term success.
