Your guide to dental implant placement with Dr. Ricardo Andrade and Dr. Denisse Montalvo
If you are considering dental implant placement, you probably have some important questions in mind. Here, we will address some of the most common inquiries in a fun, friendly, and informative way. At Dynamic Dental, Dr. Ricardo Andrade and Dr. Denisse Montalvo are proud to help patients in Sacramento and El Dorado Hills, California, regain their smiles and confidence. If you are searching for an implant dentist “near me,” you are in the right place. We are excited to guide you through everything you need to know about this transformative procedure.
What are dental implants, exactly?
Dental implants are characterized by our team as synthetic tooth roots constructed from biocompatible substances, including titanium. They are surgically placed during oral surgery into the jawbone to support a crown, bridge, or denture. Dental implants not only replace one or more missing teeth but also help preserve the natural structure of your jawbone over time.
Is dental implant placement painful?
The procedure itself is not painful, thanks to modern anesthetics and sedation dentistry options. Many patients report feeling mild discomfort during recovery, similar to the sensation of having a tooth extracted. Most people find that over-the-counter pain relievers are sufficient for managing any post-procedure sensitivity.
Who is considered a good candidate for getting new dental implants?
The perfect candidate for our quality dental implants has good overall health and sufficient jawbone density to support their implant. Even if you have experienced bone loss, you may still qualify for implants after a bone grafting procedure. Our team specializes in assessing each patient’s unique needs to determine suitability for implant placement.
How long does the dental implant process take?
The timeline for dental implant placement varies greatly depending on various factors such as your overall oral health and whether additional procedures are necessary. On average, the process takes a few months, allowing sufficient time for the implants to fuse with the jawbone. This fusion, called osseointegration, ensures long-lasting results.

How do I care for my new dental implants?
One amazing thing about dental implants is that they are easy to maintain. Simply treat them like your natural teeth! Brush twice daily, floss regularly, and schedule routine dental check-ups with Dr. Ricardo Andrade and Dr. Denisse Montalvo. Maintaining good oral hygiene will help keep your implants healthy and functional for years to come.
Are dental implants noticeable?
Dental implants both look and feel like your previous natural teeth. The crown placed on top of the implant is custom-made to match the characteristics, including the color, shape, and size, of your surrounding and remaining teeth. Most people cannot tell the difference between a dental implant and a natural tooth.
