Dental Implants
Permanent Tooth Replacement in Rancho Cucamonga
Dental implants have revolutionized dentistry and how we replace teeth. They look, feel, and function like natural teeth.What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a 2 part system that requires a 2 doctor approach involving your oral surgeon and restorative dentist. The surgeon places the titanium root into your jaw bone. After a period of healing and integration into the bone, the tooth crown gets placed on the implant. Dental implants can replace 1 tooth, multiple teeth or all your teeth. The number of implants required depends on your restorative plan.
If you are one of the many people in the Rancho Cucamonga area living with missing teeth, call us to schedule your appointment!

Dental Implants Presentation
To provide you with a better understanding of dental implants, we have provided the following multimedia presentation. Many common questions pertaining to dental implants are discussed.
The Surgical Procedure
The placement of dental implants can involve multiple surgical procedures, depending on your needs. For example, we may need to extract teeth or create a good foundation for the implant with bone grafting prior to implant placement. The actual placement of the implant may involve 1 or 2 surgeries. The first surgery involves placing the titanium screw into your jaw bone. This can be performed with maximal comfort under IV sedation or anesthesia. After a period of healing, the implant will be uncovered in a second, minor soft tissue procedure. Sometimes, the second procedure is not needed. While you are healing, a temporary replacement for that tooth can be provided. This temporary tooth or teeth can be attached to the implant itself, or a removable option. Most patients experience minimal disruption in their daily life. The procedure is not particularly traumatic nor painful in recovery.
Technological Advances
Using the most recent advances in 3D imaging, Dr. Dudziak, Dr. Choi, Dr. Hicke and Dr. Zakhary are able to virtually plan your case on the computer to accurately look at your bone, nerves and other neighboring structures. The plan is then transferred to your jaw with the use of surgical guides. We also have the ability to digitally scan your teeth using our 3D Itero intraoral scanner and create your new tooth

This was my fourth oral surgery with Inland Empire in Upland. I again applaud Sandi for coordinating every detail for this surgery. Dr. Dudziak is highly skilled and very attentive. In addition his surgical team and other staff are very caring. Several days after my post was implanted, I received a lovely holiday bouquet from Dr. "D" and Dr. Brian Smith(primary dentist) which totally brightened my day!

My treatment coordinator, Krystal, was extremely friendly and explained everything very well -- I don't know that I have ever had that pleasant of an experience at a doctor's office. I also valued the fact that Dr. Dudziak took the time to really listen and respectfully answer my questions. MaryAnne was also very helpful during recovery and during the follow up phone call the next day. The entire office and surgical experience was very professional and friendly. It was very apparent that they value customer service.

Krystal was great, very friendly and knowledgeable. I had many questions on procedures and she answered all of them. I would recommend Dr Dudziak to Elon Musk, his office was filled with 3D printers, 60" computer screen to view 3D x-rays. Dr Dudziak make a mold of my teeth to make a precise placement of my implant. I can't image many dentist use these type of technologies that make difficult implants possible.
