Dental Implants in San Juan Capistrano

Dental implants replace the root of a missing tooth and support a custom crown, bridge, or full-arch solution that looks and functions like natural teeth. We’ll help you choose between a single implant, implant bridge, snap-in denture, or All-on-4/All-on-X based on your goals, gums/bone, and budget.

Is an implant right for me?

We review your medical history, gum health, and 3D imaging to confirm candidacy. Many people choose implants because they’re stable, don’t involve drilling neighboring teeth, and help maintain bone at the site.

Good to know: Implants heal in phases (placement → bone bonding/“osseointegration” → abutment & crown), typically over several months, depending on the tooth and whether grafting is needed.

Your options at Kaban Dental Group

Single implant + crown (most common)

A titanium post integrates with bone and supports a custom crown—no drilling on neighboring teeth. Feels natural once restored and is easy to floss.


Compare vs. bridge: See Crowns & Bridges.

Implant bridge (multi-tooth)

Two or more implants can support multiple teeth when several are missing next to each other.

Snap-in denture (implant-retained overdenture)

A removable denture that “snaps” to 2–4 implants per arch—far more stable than traditional dentures, easy to clean.

All-on-4/All-on-X (fixed full-arch)

A non-removable bridge attached to 4–6 implants per arch. Feels most tooth-like for everyday chewing/speaking, with a higher upfront investment and rigorous hygiene.

Timeline at a glance

Most cases progress through:

  1. Extraction & (often) socket preservation graft → protects bone volume for aesthetics and function.

  2. Implant placement (same day or after graft healing based on the site).

  3. Osseointegration (bone bonding) over several months.

  4. Custom abutment + crown/bridge fabrication and delivery.

Cost & planning (transparent, insurance-aware)

Total cost depends on tooth count, need for extraction/grafting, and the final restoration (single crown vs. multi-unit or full-arch). We provide a side-by-side estimate and check your benefits up front. See Insurance and Payment Options.

Care & maintenance (keep the investment healthy)

  • Single implants/bridges: brush/floss like teeth; add a water flosser if you like.

  • Snap-ins: remove to clean denture and attachments; inserts wear over time.

  • All-on-X: brush 2×/day; use threaders/interdental brushes and plan specialized hygiene visits.

FAQs: Dental Implants in San Juan Capistrano

  • Implant care happens in stages and often spans several months so bone can bond to the implant before the final crown/bridge.

  • Not always. We recommend grafting when it helps preserve or rebuild bone for long-term stability and esthetics.

  • Usually no—temporaries (e.g., flipper/provisional) can keep your smile intact during healing.

  • Often, yes—an implant doesn’t require drilling the neighboring teeth and helps maintain bone; bridges can be right when neighbors already need crowns.

What patients are saying

  • Dr Kelly is awesome. Friendly, knowledgeable, and thorough with her examination. Impressed me with her read of my X-rays, which identified things I had forgotten (ie past tooth injuries) or never suspected. She takes her time and does all the work herself. You’re in good hands here.
