Dental implants are another method of tooth replacement. In simple terms they are titanium rods or screws that are fixed to the jawbone. An extension is then secured to the implant and a new crown is placed to match the color and contours of the existing teeth.
In the first stage, the dentist will place the implant in the bone and cover with an antiseptic dressing. This procedure will be carried out under local anesthesia. He will remove this two weeks later.
In the second treatment stage, the dentist will securely attach a precision fitting post into the healed implant. The dentist together with the dental technician will then create the final new tooth crown.
The greatest risk following the surgical procedures is that the implant will fail. For implants placed within the bone, most failures occur within the first year and then occur at a rate of less than 1% per year thereafter. Recent research has indicated that tobacco use by the patient and use of a single-stage implant procedure are two risk factors that increase failure rate.
Dr. Tale grew up in Orange County. In 1996, he graduated with Cum Laude honors from the University of California, San Diego. To continue his education in dentistry he moved to New York where he graduated with OKU honors (top 10% of class) from the prestigious Columbia University school of dental medicine in 2000. In order to further enhance his clinical experience and training, he completed a general practice residency at V.A Palo Alto. He has also completed multiple advanced training courses in implant and cosmetic dentistry. He has been placing and restoring implants for over 14 years. Dr. Tale has advanced training in invisalign treatment, cosmetic dentistry and oral cancer screening. He is constantly refining and improving his skills with continuing education courses, seminars and mini-residencies.
Dr. Tale followed his passion to become a family dentist because of the opportunities it provides for him to get to know each and every one of his patients personally and build a relationship with them. In addition to providing the best dental care for his patients, he uses the latest technology and materials. He is an active member of American Dental Association, and Orange County Dental Association.
Rather than using cumbersome film, we use a digital sensor to take X-rays of your mouth. This sensor uses significantly less radiation to produce highly detailed images that are transferred instantly to our computer screens. From there we can magnify, rotate, and color code each X-ray to best explain the issues behind your dental health.
A picture is worth a thousand words, especially when it comes to your dental health! To aid in diagnoses and record keeping, we use hand held cameras to take magnified and detailed photos of your mouth, which can be displayed on our computer screens and TV monitors so you can see what our doctors are seeing.
Our state-of-the-art equipment makes us one of the most technologically advanced offices in the area. We have intra-oral cameras, which allow us to view your teeth on a flat-screen monitor directly in front of you, and digital X-rays, which emit 90% less radiation than standard X-rays. You can even watch a movie while youre being treated. All of this technology allows us to be more accurate and efficient with your dental care, which enables us to provide the best affordable general dental services in Orange County & surrounding areas, including Laguna Hills, Lake Forest, Foothill Ranch, Irvine & Mission Viejo to you.

Dr. Tale and staff provide professional, caring and honest dental care. There is no inflating of dental services needed as Dr. Tale takes a conservative approach to his work. I travel from an hour plus away because I haven't found a dentist I trust near me.

Very clean and great dental office. All the team are amazingly friendly and helpful. I found in the past it very hard to find a honest and professional dental office and so happy I found Dr Tale I really feel I can trust his diagnosis and he not recommending unnecessary treatment. He very funny and makes the dentist visit a painless experience in all ways. He very detailed in his explanation and you can tell he has true passion for his work. The work I had done was efficiently done with impeccable workmanship and I felt very comfortable through out such a better experience than my previous dentist. I definitely found my new dentist.
