MARK'S STORY

What Is a Dental Implant?

Your smile is one of the first things others notice, making it an important part of your personal and professional image. Missing or damaged teeth not only affect your appearance but can also impact your confidence and overall well-being. Gaps in your teeth can increase the risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and bite misalignment, while ongoing jawbone loss can lead to undesirable facial changes. Fortunately, dental implants provide a natural-looking, durable, and versatile solution that helps protect the health of your jawbone.

A dental implant consists of a threaded post placed into your jawbone, an abutment that connects to the post, and a visible restoration, such as a crown, bridge, or full arch prosthesis. The post integrates with your bone, replacing the root of your missing tooth. With dental implants from Dr. Jim Eggleston, you’ll enjoy fully restored dental function, renewed confidence, and long-lasting results—all at a remarkably affordable price in Turlock, CA.

What to Expect from Our Dental Implant Treatment Process

Consult & Planning

During your first visit, Dr. Eggleston will review your dental and medical history, take digital X-rays, and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. We will also employ a cone-beam CT scan to examine your bone structure, nerve tissue, and sinus cavities, which aids in planning precise implant placement. We will discuss the cost of your dental implants upfront, with no hidden fees, so you can confidently move forward knowing you’re in good hands.

Procedure & Same-Day Teeth

At Eggleston Dental Care, we provide personalized dental implant surgery tailored to your specific oral health needs and smile goals. Depending on your case, tooth extraction, and bone grafting may be performed during the same visit as your dental implant placement. Using digital guidance, small holes are carefully made in your gums and bone at predetermined sites, and the implants are placed.

With full mouth dental implants in Turlock, CA, we provide same-day nano-ceramic teeth, so you never have to go without teeth again! If you experience any swelling, applying a cold compress and rinsing with warm salt water can help heal. Many of our patients can resume most normal activities within 24 hours.

Follow-Up Appointments

We will provide detailed postsurgical home-care instructions to help guide your recovery and schedule regular follow-up appointments. The first year after surgery is critical for healing, as osseointegration (the fusion of the implant with your bone) can take 3-6 months. At your follow-up visits, Dr. Eggleston will carefully assess your gums, implants, and surrounding teeth to ensure that healing and fusion are progressing as expected. We will also check for any signs of issues, such as traumatic occlusion, tissue inflammation, bleeding, infection (e.g., pus), or plaque and tartar buildup.

Healing & Final Restorations

Over the next 3-6 months, your dental implants will gradually integrate with your jawbone in osseointegration, creating a strong and stable foundation for your permanent teeth. Once the healing process is complete, we will place your custom-crafted permanent teeth, designed with precision to match your unique facial structure, lip and gum line, and skin tone.

These personalized teeth provide a natural and aesthetically pleasing appearance and ensure optimal function and comfort. With proper at-home care and regular dental check-ups, your implants can last a lifetime, providing you with a lasting, beautiful smile!
