Missing one or more teeth can impact more than just your smile—it can affect how you chew, speak, and even your confidence. But the good news? Dental implants offer a life-changing solution. In this video, Dr. Raha Yousefi breaks down everything you need to know about dental implants — from how they work, to why choosing a specialist matters, to what you can expect during the process and recovery. Here’s what we cover:
- What is a dental implant?
- Why you should trust a periodontist for implant placement
- Step-by-step breakdown of the implant process
- Who makes a good candidate for dental implants
- The biggest benefits of choosing implants
- How long do dental implants really last
Most people think a dental implant is just the new tooth they see—but it’s actually a carefully engineered, three-part system designed to look, feel, and function like the real thing. In this video, our periodontist, Dr. Raha Yousefi, breaks down the three components of a dental implant and what each one does:
- The Implant Post: a small titanium screw that’s placed in your jawbone to act as your new tooth root.
- The Abutment: the connector that attaches to the implant post and holds your new crown in place.
- The Crown: the visible part of your implant that looks, feels, and functions like your natural tooth.
Once your implant is fully restored, you’ll only see the crown — but together, these three parts form one strong, long-lasting replacement for a missing tooth.
Can Dental Implants Replace Multiple Teeth? Absolutely! Dental implants are one of the most reliable and natural-looking ways to replace missing teeth — whether you’re missing one tooth, several teeth, or an entire arch. In this video, Dr. Raha Yousefi walks through three common cases:
- Single Dental Implant — replaces one missing tooth with a natural-looking result that blends seamlessly with your smile.
- Implant Bridge — replaces several missing teeth in a row using only a few implants for support.
- Full-Arch Dental Implants — replaces a full set of missing teeth in the upper or lower jaw with a fixed, stable restoration that looks and feels like your own teeth.
No matter your situation, there’s a dental implant solution that can help you chew, smile, and speak with confidence again.
This patient’s story shows the power of dental implants. After being hit in the mouth as a child, his tooth became infected and eventually had to be removed. Once the tooth was extracted, the question was—what now? We replaced the lost root with a dental implant placed into the jawbone, and from there, a crown was added to restore his smile. Dental implants don’t just replace missing teeth—they bring back confidence, comfort, and quality of life.
Here’s your post-op menu on what to eat and what to avoid!
- Day 1-2: Stick to cold, soft things like ice cream, smoothies, and yogurt.
- Days 3-7: Move to soft, room-temperature foods like mashed potatoes, scrambled eggs, and oatmeal.
Rule of thumb: If you can smash it with a fork, you can eat it. Steamed carrot? Yes. Raw carrot? Not yet.
Avoid foods that are crunchy, sticky, spicy, or have seeds or small particles (chips, sesame seeds, quinoa, popcorn). No alcohol, smoking, drinking from a straw, or chewing on the surgical site.
