Dental Implants at Lizaso Family Dentistry
A Permanent Solution for Missing Teeth
At Lizaso Family Dentistry, we understand the impact that missing teeth can have on your confidence and quality of life. Dental implants are a revolutionary solution designed to restore both the function and aesthetics of your smile. Unlike dentures or bridges, dental implants offer a permanent solution that looks, feels, and functions like your natural teeth.
What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a titanium post that is surgically placed into your jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Once the implant fuses with your bone (a process called osseointegration), a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is attached to restore your smile. Dental implants offer a secure, durable, and natural-looking solution for replacing single or multiple missing teeth.
Benefits of Dental Implants
- Long-lasting Solution – With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a great investment in your oral health.
- Natural Look & Feel – Implants blend seamlessly with your existing teeth, offering a comfortable and aesthetic solution that’s virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth.
- Improved Function – You can eat, speak, and smile confidently without worrying about your replacement teeth shifting or falling out.
- Bone Preservation – Unlike other solutions, implants help maintain the structure of your jawbone, preventing bone loss that can occur with missing teeth.
- No Impact on Adjacent Teeth – Dental implants don’t require alteration or support from neighboring teeth, unlike bridges.
- Improved Oral Health – With the right care, dental implants make maintaining your oral health easier since they are cared for just like natural teeth.
The Dental Implant Process
- Initial Consultation – We begin by assessing your oral health, examining the condition of your gums and jawbone, and creating a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
- Implant Placement – The titanium implant is carefully placed into your jawbone. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring that you’re comfortable throughout the process.
- Healing & Integration – Over the next few months, your implant will fuse with the bone through a process called osseointegration, creating a strong and stable foundation.
- Abutment & Crown Placement – Once healing is complete, an abutment is attached to the implant, and a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is placed on top, completing your restoration.

Who is a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?
You may be a good candidate for dental implants if:
✔ You have one or more missing teeth.
✔ Your jawbone is healthy and capable of supporting an implant (if not, bone grafting can be performed first).
✔ You have good oral health and maintain proper dental hygiene.
✔ You are committed to following through with post-treatment care and regular check-ups.
Types of Dental Implants
- Single Implants – For replacing a single missing tooth with a single implant and crown.
- Multiple Implants – For replacing several missing teeth, with options like implant-supported bridges or dentures.
- Full-Mouth Implants – For complete teeth replacement, often using techniques like All-on-4 or Teeth in a Day for quick restoration.
Dental Implant Aftercare
Once your dental implant is placed and healed, taking care of your new tooth is similar to caring for your natural teeth. Brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups will help keep your implant clean and free of infection. We will guide you through the aftercare process to ensure your implant remains in excellent condition.

A Smile That Lasts a Lifetime, Thanks to Dental Implants!
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime. The crown on top may need to be replaced every 10-15 years, but the implant itself is permanent.
Dental implant surgery is performed under local anesthesia, so you won’t feel any pain during the procedure. After the procedure, some discomfort is normal, but it can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
The process typically takes several months, as the implant needs time to fuse with the bone (osseointegration). However, the procedure is broken down into stages, and you will have a fully restored smile in a few months.
No, dental implants are cared for just like natural teeth. Brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups are essential to keeping your implants healthy.
Most people are good candidates for dental implants, but a consultation with our expert team is necessary to determine if implants are right for you. In some cases, bone grafting or other procedures may be needed to prepare your jaw.
