Even with the improvements of oral health care, the majority of adults still lose at least one tooth during their lifetime. Whether this is due to old age, an accident, or gum disease, we have the most durable solution for replacing your teeth. This is the only procedure that replaces both your lost root and tooth, since dentures and dental bridges only replace the visible portion of your tooth. In order to place implants, we must conduct dental implant surgery. During the surgery, we will insert a titanium post under the gums and secure it to the jawbone. The bone and metal will fuse together through the process of osseointegration, creating a durable root system to attach your new tooth (crown). If you are considering this procedure, we encourage you to call <a title=\"Click to call SoCal Dental of Agoura at (818) 597-0100\" href=\"tel:+1-818-597-0100\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"CTC-Phone-Formatted-0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">(818) 597-0100<\/a> to schedule a consultation with our Agoura Hills dental office.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><!-- \/.end intro text -->\n<!-- Contact Form -->\n<div class=\"col s12 m6 l4\">\n<div class=\"content-block\">\n<div class=\"form-wrapper-default bg-form z-depth-1\">\n<div class=\"contact-form\"><div class=\"form-title bg-primary\">Request An Appointment<\/div><div class=\"inner-form-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"wpcf7 no-js\" id=\"wpcf7-f9814-o1\" lang=\"en-US\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<div class=\"screen-reader-response\"><p role=\"status\" aria-live=\"polite\" aria-atomic=\"true\"><\/p> <ul><\/ul><\/div>\n<form action=\"\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9851#wpcf7-f9814-o1\" method=\"post\" class=\"wpcf7-form init\" aria-label=\"Contact form\" novalidate=\"novalidate\" data-status=\"init\">\n<div style=\"display: none;\">\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7\" value=\"9814\" \/>\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_version\" value=\"5.9.8\" \/>\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_locale\" value=\"en_US\" \/>\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_unit_tag\" value=\"wpcf7-f9814-o1\" \/>\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_container_post\" value=\"0\" \/>\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_posted_data_hash\" value=\"\" \/>\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_recaptcha_response\" value=\"\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"input-field col s12\">\n<span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap\" data-name=\"FullName\"><input size=\"40\" maxlength=\"400\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-text wpcf7-validates-as-required\" aria-required=\"true\" aria-invalid=\"false\" placeholder=\"First &amp;

The procedure itself can take anywhere from 30 minutes for a single implant to several hours. If you are replacing multiple teeth with implants, we will let you know how long the process will take and whether or not it will take two appointments.<\/p>\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">Post-Operation Care for Dental Implants<\/h3>\n<p>Since dental implant surgery is an invasive process, you can expect to have some swelling and sensitivity after the fact. While perfectly natural, you must take good care of your mouth in order to prevent an infection or unnecessary irritation. We suggest taking ibuprofen to decrease swelling and manage discomfort. You can also use an icepack or cold compress for 15 minutes at a time. At SoCal Dental of Agoura, we generally recommend taking a couple of days off work while you are recovering. After two to five days, you will feel normal again; though your gums may remain slightly sensitive for a little longer.<\/p>\n<\/div><!-- \/.col -->\n<\/div><!-- \/.row -->\n<\/div><!-- \/.main-service-content .section-block --><!-- \/sContent mute -->\n\n<div class=\"call-out center-align bg-secondary\"><!-- sContent-Yelp -->\n<p id=\"yelp-reviews-agoura-hills-ca\"><i class=\"fa fa-yelp fa-lg\"><\/i> Check out what others are saying about our dental implant surgery services on Yelp: <a title=\"Search Yelp for Dental Implant Surgery Agoura Hills\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yelp.com\/biz\/socal-dental-of-agoura-agoura-hills\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"TLBC text-contrast\" id=\"CLYP-Dental-Implant-Surgery\">Dental Implant Surgery Agoura Hills<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><!-- \/.call-out --><!-- \/sContent-Yelp -->\n<div class=\"faq-section section-block bg-primary\"><!-- FAQ -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">Dental Implant Recovery FAQ<\/h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"><\/div>\n<p>Here are a few questions we are regularly asked in our dental office.<\/p>\n<a name=\"will-i-be-able-to-eat-my-favorite-foods\"><\/a>\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.<\/span> What can I eat after oral surgery?<\/p>\n<p class=\"answers\"><span>A.<\/span> We recommend you eat foods that are soft and easy to chew or that require no chewing at all. A perfect example would be yogurt, warm soup, ice cream, smoothies, and steamed vegetables. We can provide you with a more detailed list during a consultation. Also be sure to avoid foods that are difficult to chew, like steak, or things that are sharp, like tortilla chips, since they can further irritate your gum tissue.<\/p>\n<a name=\"recovery-process-how-long\"><\/a>\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.<\/span> How long before I am back to normal?<\/p>\n<p class=\"answers\"><span>A.<\/span> Most patients report feeling normal within a week of dental implant surgery. The first couple of days will be the most uncomfortable, but every day you should feel slightly better. Ibuprofen or Tylenol can usually be enough to increase your comfort.<\/p>\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.<\/span> Is there any pain after dental implant surgery?<\/p>\n<p class=\"answers\"><span>A.<\/span> When you visit our dental office, we will discuss pain management with you. We will give you anesthesia during the actual procedure so you can relax and feel comfortable during the entire process. Afterward, you can take over-the-counter medication to manage your pain. By following the directions, you will remain fairly comfortable. The key is to stay ahead of your discomfort, so if the bottle says that you can take two pills every four hours \u2013 take them every four hours. As long as you do so, you will be able to go through your day without any severe discomfort.<\/p>\n<a name=\"how-long-until-they-attach-the-tooth\"><\/a>\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.<\/span> Will my new tooth be attached right away?<\/p>\n<p class=\"answers\"><span>A.<\/span> When you come in for a consultation, we can provide you with a good idea of when we can attach your new tooth. For the most part, we wait until the process of osseointegration takes place and the titanium post integrates into the jawbone. This provides the most durable base to attach your new crown to. Typically, this process can take anywhere from three to six months to complete. However, there are other options we can explore if you are on a tight timeframe. To ensure your smile is intact while you wait, we can provide you with a temporary denture to wear. We will attach the denture using wires, similar to a retainer. You can remove the denture whenever you want to. This way, your smile will appear intact until we are ready to secure your new tooth (crown) in place. We will schedule you for a follow up visit to inspect your implant and give you a better idea of how the healing process is going at that time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.<\/span> Can dental implants replace my dentures?<\/p>\n<p class=\"answers\"><span>A.<\/span> Yes, at SoCal Dental of Agoura, we place implants on a regular basis. Patients who are tired of wearing removable dentures and want something more permanent can benefit from dental implants. Since dentures can easily slip out of place, switching to implants can make it easier to eat, speak, and engage in normal daily activities. If you have worn dentures for some time, you may be suffering from resorption. If this is the case, your jawbone may not have sufficient density to support an implant. When this happens, we may recommend a bone graft prior to beginning.

This appointment will be non-invasive and comfortable. We can present you with all of the options available to you and discuss the ins and outs of each treatment solution.
