Dental implants are widely considered the best replacements for natural teeth. Whether you have severe dental problems, missing teeth, or youre wearing dentures, our dental implants in Corona, CA can restore the optimal appearance, functionality, and sensation of your teeth.
A dental implant is a screw-like titanium post thats surgically inserted into the jawbone underneath the empty socket of a missing tooth. Over time, the bone tissues heal around the implant via a process called osseointegration, thereby making the implant a firmly rooted part of the dental anatomy. Once a dental implant is in place, it serves as a permanent and lifelong replacement for the missing tooths underlying root structure.
Its often said that dental implants replace the missing teeth completely. However, its more accurate to say that dental implants replace the root structure, providing a firm base for the prosthetic, i.e., the visible part of the tooth. Once the jawbone has healed completely, the dentist can attach a crown, bridge, or denture to the dental implant. The implant-supported teeth, in turn, look and function like natural teeth.
Theres a common misconception that dental implants are complicated, risky, or painful. If the procedure is performed skillfully by a reputable dentist, the dental implant and the procedure are painless, simple, and completely free from complications or harsh side effects. Dental implant surgery can also be performed at the dentists office under local anesthesia, involving minimal post-treatment recovery.
Prior to receiving dental implants in Corona the dental surgeon discusses your goals, reviews your health history, performs various imaging tests, and determines if youre a suitable candidate for dental implants. He also recommends the ideal dental implant method for you, such as single implants, multiple implants, or all-on-4 implants.
The dental surgeon delivers local anesthesia and sedation to ensure physical and mental comfort. He prepares the osteotomy, i.e., the implant bed, and screws the titanium post into the jawbone underneath the socket. The socket is closed for around 12 weeks, giving your jawbone enough time to heal around the implant.
Once your jawbone has healed around the implant, the dentist calls you for the final stage. He provides custom-made dental crowns, bridges, or dentures for your implants, depending on the number of implants and the chosen restoration options. The natural-looking prosthetic teeth are attached to the implant.
Dental implants are meant for patients with missing teeth. It doesnt matter if youre missing one, multiple, or all your teeth, you can get dental implants for your specific needs. The only requirement is that you should have strong jawbone density at the implant site the implant needs sufficient jawbone structure for optimal adherence.
Jawbone recession usually occurs if significant time has elapsed after the loss of your teeth, but theres no need to despair. Dr. Huston performs a painless bone grafting procedure to encourage bone regeneration. With this procedure, we can help your receded jawbones grow again, making you a suitable candidate for dental implants.
Generally speaking, youre a suitable candidate for dental implants if youre healthy enough for routine dental surgeries and tooth extraction. Patients with uncontrolled chronic disorders, such as diabetes, heavy smokers, and those who have undergone radiation therapy will be evaluated on an individual basis for their candidacy.

What else can I say but I'm so lucky and grateful to have been given a brand new mouth after losing half my teeth from my otherwise mild case of Covid-19. I now consider Dr Huston, Leslie and all the other professionals who work together to make my dental woes go away and start fresh again. Needing to save money I opted for the non-general anesthesia and Dr Huston was very attentive to my gestures and could miraculously understand what I was saying when the procedure was at it's most involved. The best part was that I got to watch whatever I wanted on the big HD screen TV like YouTube, Netflix, Facebook, and dozens of other services with the remote control in my hand the whole time, Dr Huston is a warm and gentle human being who is possessed with the skills to stay in the cutting edge of his profession. I lucked out finding him and his awesome staff who hardly have to send for lunch because so many of their grateful patients bring them food that I can now eat again.

I had the pleasure of picking up my mother-in-law from this establishment, and I must say it I am impressed! The staff is THE MOST welcoming team, very friendly, professional, and attentive. The procedure was running behind schedule and they kept me posted the entire time. The doctor and staff took such great care of mom (who HATES the dentist) which made the whole experience worth it. To the front desk ladies: Thank you for all your care and kindness!

Wife went for free consultation and to get price fir full mouth implants. After an hour or so dentist recommended veneers and some implants. Office quoted 5000 each for implants but would not give price to do veneers until mock up was done at 450. So to get a price we had to spend 450 first. Absurd. Wasted several hours going for free consultation. Obvious we won't be doing any business with this dentist.

Dr. Huston, his wife, and crew are top notch! I got quotes and consultations from a few other places that did not veer away from the one way, only way they were trained. If you spent money in the past on implants, you would think they would be worth using when you upgrade to a full new grill. 2nd chance was the only place that did, because it takes a very experienced surgeon to know all the available hardware out there, what's best for your individual situation. I just got the main surgery done, with the temps in. Dr. Patrick Huston was the best choice I could have made. He has surrounded himself in his office with also, very experienced (and beautiful) Women who care about what they do.
