DENTAL IMPLANTS IN SAN DIEGO
A dental implant is a titanium replacement for a lost tooth root that a specialist places into your jawbone to support a tooth replacement or a bridge. Implants not only replace teeth, but also replace the confidence in your smile. Chewing, Speaking, Smiling are all tooth related benefits that implants may restore.
Dental implants are so natural-looking and feeling; you may forget you ever lost a tooth. Following placement by a specialist and routine periodic maintenance, implants may last a lifetime.

PRECISION IMPLANT PLACEMENT
Our Specialists use guided implant placement to predictably place implants and minimize surgical complications. A CBCT record is taken, and a guide is fabricated so that each implant can be virtually placed prior to the actual surgical appointment. This process optimizes the healing process, and most patients feel like nothing ever happened the next day!
Dental Implants using a 3-D Guided Flapless Approach
3-D imaging allows us to see jawbone volume and structure. CBCT Data allows us to predictably place implants into narrow areas and minimize risk of implant complications (or implant loss) due to poor placement.
Dr. Hornsby utilizes a same-day guided implant placement protocol that carefully plans the virtual placement of implants and fabricates a guide that allows precise placement.
Whenever possible, a flapless technique is used to only expose the area required for surgical placement and minimizes surgical trauma of opening the surrounding tissue.
Patients LOVE the new process because healing time is dramatically reduced. Most patients report minimal discomfort the next day.
