What Are the Different Types of Dental Implant Restorations?
Single-Tooth Dental Implants
When one tooth is missing, a single dental implant can be placed to support a custom-made crown. This option looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth and helps prevent bone loss and shifting of nearby teeth.
Implant-Supported Bridges
For multiple missing teeth in a row, an implant-supported bridge uses dental implants instead of adjacent teeth for support. This preserves healthy teeth, maintains bone, and restores natural function.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures offer more stability and comfort than traditional removable dentures. A series of implants are placed in the jawbone to anchor the denture. This option is ideal for patients seeking a more secure solution for multiple missing teeth
All-on-4 & All-on-6 Dental Implants
All-on-4 and All-on-6 use approximately four to six implants placed at strategic angles to support a fixed denture. This technique is designed to maximize available bone and often eliminates the need for bone grafting. Many patients can receive their implants and a full set of new teeth in a single visit.
Same-Day Dental Implants
In some cases, implants and temporary restorations can be placed in a single visit, allowing you to leave with a functional smile the same day. This approach offers immediate results while maintaining long-term stability.
Custom Full Arch Dental Implant Restorations
These fully personalized restorations may use more implants and are tailored to your bite, anatomy, and aesthetic goals. They offer maximum flexibility in design, function, and long-term outcomes.
What Is Involved in Guided Dental Implant Surgery?
Dental implant surgery is a complex oral procedure, typically performed in-office with local anesthesia or sedation. A small titanium post is placed into the jawbone, where it gradually fuses with the bone in a process called osseointegration — creating a stable foundation for your new tooth.
At Rancho Del Rey Oral & Facial Surgery, we enhance accuracy through guided surgery and robotic assistance. Using 3D imaging and advanced digital planning, we map out the exact location and angle for each implant before surgery begins. This high level of accuracy also allows many patients to qualify for same-day dental implants, where a temporary restoration can be placed immediately after surgery. We are also the only oral surgery practice in San Diego to utilize the Yomi® robotic system, which is the first FDA-cleared system of its kind that assists with real-time dental implant surgical guidance. This robotic technology helps ensure precise placement, greater control, and a more comfortable, efficient experience for the patient.
By combining surgical expertise with the most advanced tools available, Dr. Gile and Dr. Mowry are able to deliver highly predictable outcomes and long-term implant success.
What Is Recovery Like After Dental Implant Surgery?
Most patients experience mild discomfort, swelling, or bruising that subsides within a few days. Healing may take several months as the implant integrates with the bone. Our team provides detailed post-operative instructions and personalized care to support a smooth recovery. For qualified patients, temporary teeth may even be attached on the same day as implant placement, providing immediate function during the healing process.
“Dr. Gile and his team made my experience quick and pain free. They all worked together to provide for my understanding of the procedure and my comfort while performing their individual tasks. My fears were addressed and I felt very confident in their care. I definitely recommend this dental office for the procedures available.”
How Much Do Dental Implants Cost?
The cost of dental implants depends on the number of implants, the type of restoration, and whether additional procedures are needed. During your consultation, our team will provide a customized estimate and review financing options to help make your care as accessible as possible.
