Dental Implants vs Traditional Dentures
There is no comparison between dental implants and dentures. With dentures your chewing capacity is 10 times lower than natural teeth. You are limited in what you can eat with dentures. Adding to that dentures can be loose, they can move while talking, eating and sometimes can come out completely causing embarrassment. They also cause bone loss and cause the face to look shrunken and older than what you are.
Dental implants can establish chewing capacity to as good as natural teeth. You can eat, talk, and smile with confidence. No more embarrassing moments! Dental implants also prevent bone loss maintaining your facial contours.
To find out if your dentures can be replaced with implants, call us at (925) 679-3333.
Bone Grafting
When we loose our teeth, we not only loose the teeth but also support bone and gums. The bone loss process is continuous after the loss of teeth. It does not stop. Hence longer the time period after tooth loss, more is the bone loss. Gums become narrow and short due to underlying bone loss. Also this bone loss can be reflected on our face giving us a sunken, aged look.
Implant placement in thin , narrow bone is difficult or sometimes impossible. In such cases, bone has to be grown to a certain thickness so that implant placement can be done. This can be done by bone grafting procedure where we add bone or bone substitute to the thin bone in order to gain height and thickness. Implants can be placed at the same time or a few months after the bone grafting procedure. Bone grafting is not 100 percent predictable procedure. We at Pristine dental use all the advanced techniques and latest biomaterials (PRF, PRP, bone protein BMP) to get the predictable result.
Dental Implant Costs
Dental Implant can vary depending upon the type of tooth/teeth you are replacing and the type of implant. The fee for dental implants can be from $2000 - $6000 for a single implant. Depending upon additional procedures needed like bone grafting, sinus grafting, gum grafting and the type of teeth you desire, the cost may change.
For full arch dental implants supported fixed teeth, the fee can be from $15,000 - $30,000 per jaw.
We accept all major dental insurances and can use your insurance benefits to supplement your dental implant costs. We work with major finance companies to make this treatment affordable at low monthly payments.

Sinus Lifts
We all have a hollow space in our cheekbone called Maxillary Sinus. This space is located above our upper back teeth (behind the eye tooth).
When you lose single or multiple back upper teeth, sinus space expands downwards.
Now there is not enough height of bone available to place the implant in this region. Bone grafting is done to grow bone in this sinus space to gain lost bone height so that proper length implant can be placed in this region.
