Book OnlineWhat Are Minimally Invasive Implants?
Dental implants are small, biocompatible metal posts placed in the jawbone where natural teeth used to be. Over time, the implants fuse with the surrounding bone, creating a strong, stable foundation for dental crowns or implant-retained dentures.
Traditionally, getting dental implants was a complex, time-consuming process. Minimally invasive implants use a more conservative approach with smaller incisions and guided placement, allowing for quicker recovery, a reduced risk of infection, and improved treatment outcomes. AppleTree Dental offers several trusted implant brands, including Dio Implant™, Hiossen®, and Bicon®.
Benefits of Minimally Invasive Implants
Minimally invasive dental implants offer many advantages, including:
- More affordable than traditional implants
- A less invasive, gentler procedure
- Shorter time in surgery
- An improved healing process
- Less downtime after treatment
- A natural look and feel when you smile, speak, and eat
- Help preserving jawbone and facial structure
Because Dr. Kang uses a custom surgical guide, he can avoid unnecessary steps that may lead to complications during recovery.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?
To support minimally invasive implants, you need healthy gums and enough jawbone to hold the implant securely. During your consultation, Dr. Kang evaluates your bone volume and gum health using advanced imaging. If your mouth is healthy and has adequate bone, you may be an excellent candidate.
Implants can replace a single missing tooth, several teeth, or support a full set of implant-retained dentures.
Advanced Technology for Precise Implant Placement
Our Anaheim office uses state-of-the-art technology to plan every implant with care. 3D cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging provides a detailed view of your jawbone, nerves, and sinuses. Digital scans from the Medit i500® intraoral scanner are then used to design a custom 3D surgical guide that shows Dr. Kang exactly where each implant should go for accurate, predictable results.
The Dental Implant Process
Getting minimally invasive implants at AppleTree Dental takes at least three visits spaced several months apart.
Step 1: Consultation and Planning
Dr. Kang reviews your dental records, discusses your smile goals, and completes an oral exam with digital X-rays and 3D imaging to confirm you have enough bone to support implants. He then takes digital scans of your mouth and creates your custom surgical guide.
Step 2: Implant Placement
After numbing the area, Dr. Kang places the implants using your surgical guide. You’ll go home with antibiotics and detailed recovery instructions.
Step 3: Final Restoration
Once the implants have fully integrated with your jawbone, you’ll return to our office for impressions. A dental lab uses them to craft your custom crowns or implant-retained dentures. At your final visit, Dr. Kang attaches your restorations, polishes your teeth, and checks your bite so you leave with a complete, confident smile.
Caring for Your Dental Implants
With proper care, dental implants can last for many years. Brush twice daily, floss around your implants, and keep up with regular cleanings and exams. If you grind your teeth, a custom night guard can help protect your implant restorations.
