Restore Your Smile. Regain Your Confidence with Dental Implants in Irvine

Why Dental Implants

At Nova Dental Studio, we understand how missing teeth can affect more than just how you eat—they can impact your self-esteem, speech, bone health, and overall well-being. Our dental implant solutions offer a permanent, lifelike, and functional replacement that looks, feels, and acts like your natural teeth.

What Are Dental Implants?

  • A dental implant is a titanium post (or zirconia in certain cases) surgically placed in the jawbone, acting like a root.

  • On top of that, a crown, bridge, or overdenture is attached—giving you a fully functional tooth replacement.

  • Implants preserve jawbone, prevent shifting of adjacent teeth, and restore chewing ability without compromising neighboring healthy teeth.

Who Is a Good Candidate

You may be a candidate if you:


  • Are missing one or more teeth

  • Have sufficient jawbone density, or are willing to undergo bone grafting

  • Are in generally good oral and overall health

  • Have good dental hygiene habits

  • Want a long-term, stable solution rather than removable prosthetics

If you're unsure, our team at Nova will perform a full evaluation and walk you through your options.

Nova Dental Studio’s Implant Process

01
Consultation & Planning

Our experienced implant specialists will assess your oral health, take imaging (3D CT scans / CBCT), evaluate bone structure, and discuss what restoration works best for your needs and goals.

02
Surgical Placement

We’ll carefully place the implant in your jaw under local anesthesia (with sedation options if desired), ensuring precision positioning for optimal long-term results.

03
Healing & Osseointegration

 Over several weeks/months, the implant fuses with your jawbone. We guide you through this phase with appropriate care to ensure comfort and success.

04
Crown / Prosthetic Attachment

 Once healed, the abutment and custom-made restoration are attached. These are designed to match your natural teeth in color, shape, and function.

05
Follow-Up & Maintenance

 Regular check-ups and good oral hygiene to preserve implant health, along with any periodic maintenance.

Benefits of Dental Implants

  • Long-lasting & durable (many implants last a lifetime with proper care)

  • Improved chewing & speech clarity

  • Maintains jawbone health & facial structure

  • Prevents shifting of neighboring teeth

  • No need to alter adjacent healthy teeth (unlike some bridges)


FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Does implant placement hurt?

     We use local anesthesia plus sedation options; many patients report feeling minimal discomfort. Post-operative pain is usually manageable and short-lived.


  • How long does the whole process take?

     Depending on individual factors (bone health, healing), full implant treatment can take anywhere from 3 to 9 months from planning to final restoration.




  • Is bone grafting ever needed?

    Yes, if jawbone density is insufficient. We’ll evaluate and explain grafting options and timelines.


  • Are implants covered by insurance?

     Some plans cover part of the procedure. We’ll help you maximize your benefits and explore financial / payment plan options.
