Dental Implants San Diego

If you live in San Diego, then you should know that there are plenty of places where you can go for a consultation if you are considering getting dental implants. This is a very important step to take whenever you are considering having this form of cosmetic surgery performed.  Of course, before you even consider having such a consultation you should already know what dental implants actually are.

Simply defined, dental implants have been designed in such a way as to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that will look, feel and function just like your natural teeth.  Through dental implants you will be able to regain the ability to eat almost anything and smile with confidence because you know that your teeth look natural.

One of the doctors in San Diego that specializes in such implants is
Dr. Niakiani.  She has received extensive training in Implantology and has been working successfully in this field since 1998.  Over the years, she has also received a lot of continuing education.  In this way she has been able to keep up-to-date with the most current information about dental implants and become certified to use the most recent advances in dental implant technology. 

An example of one of the most up-to-date procedures that Dr. Niakiani is familiar with is known as “immediate loading” dental implants.  These are implants that can be done in select cases.  Herein your teeth would be extracted and both the implants and the crowns would be placed in your mouth all during just 1 visit.  As you can clearly imagine, such a procedure greatly simplifies the surgical process. 

Of course, you do need to understand that it takes a team effort for dental implants to be properly placed within your mouth.  This team will consist of your Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon as well as a Restorative Dentist.  While the initial tooth extractions and bone grafting, as well as the actual dental implant surgery are all performed by Dr. Niakiani you are also going to need to have confidence in your dentist because he should also be your restorative dentist.  This means that your dentist will need to make and fit the permanent prosthesis.  He will also need to make any temporary prosthesis that you may need to wear during the implant process. 

The reason why so many people in San Diego have their dental implants done by Dr. Niakiani is because she performs this procedure in her office, which is similar to a hospital-style operating suite.  This means that everything is extremely sterile.  Of course, this is also good for you since you will not have to go to the hospital in order to have your dental implants done and yet you can rest assured that everything is both safe and sanitary nonetheless.  In fact, Dr. Niakiani only performs inpatient hospital dental implant surgery on those patients who have special medical or anesthetic needs.  She also does inpatient surgery for those who are in need of extensive bone grafting, which means that bone will need to be taken from either their hip or tibia to be used in their jaw.
