Dental Implants in Chino, CA
Choi & Lee Family Dentistry combines timeless elegance with the meticulous craftsmanship of traditional dental care
What Are Dental Implants
Dental implants are permanent restorations that replace missing teeth with titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone. These posts act like natural tooth roots, providing a stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures. Unlike removable options, implants fuse with the bone through a process called osseointegration, which keeps them secure and helps preserve jawbone health.
Implants are often recommended for patients who have lost one or more teeth due to decay, gum disease, or injury. They restore not only the look of your smile but also your ability to chew and speak with ease. At Choi & Lee Family Dentistry in Chino, CA, we customize every implant restoration to match your natural teeth in size, shape, and color to ensure a seamless & functional result.
By choosing dental implants, you’re investing in a long-term solution that supports both your oral health and overall quality of life.

How to Prepare for Your Dental Implants
Preparing for dental implants begins with a comprehensive exam, including digital X-rays and sometimes 3D imaging, to assess bone density and gum health. Our dentists will also review your medical history to ensure you’re a good candidate for implant surgery.
If you’ve experienced bone loss in your jaw, a bone graft or sinus lift may be recommended beforehand to provide enough support for the implant. Maintaining healthy gums is also important, so treating gum disease or infections before surgery is key.
At Choi & Lee Family Dentistry, we’ll guide you through every step, so you feel confident, prepared, and ready for a successful implant journey.
Recovery and Aftercare for Dental Implants
Healing after implant surgery is an important step toward long-term success. Mild swelling or discomfort is normal, but most patients find recovery manageable with proper care. To promote healing and protect your implants:
-
Stick to soft foods like yogurt, soup, or eggs for the first few days.
-
Brush gently around the implant site, using a soft-bristled toothbrush to avoid irritation.
-
Avoid smoking and alcohol, which can interfere with healing and bone integration.
-
Attend follow-up visits so we can monitor progress and ensure the implant is integrating properly.
The Long-Term Value
Choosing dental implants is one of the most effective ways to replace missing teeth while protecting your long-term oral health and comfort. Although implants may require a greater initial investment, their durability and function often make them more cost-effective over time. Traditional restorations may need replacement or adjustment, while implants are designed to provide a stable, permanent solution. By restoring missing teeth early, implants help prevent shifting, bite issues, and bone loss that can lead to more complex dental problems later.
Beyond functional improvements, implants offer peace of mind by closely replicating the look and feel of natural teeth. Many dental insurance plans provide partial coverage for implant treatment, and our team will help you understand and maximize your benefits. At Choi and Lee Family Dentistry, we are committed to restoring smiles with advanced, long-lasting solutions.

What to Expect
Your journey to a healthier, more confident smile
Comprehensive Evaluation
Dr. Choi or Dr. Lee will conduct a thorough examination, including 3D imaging, to assess your jawbone and plan your implant placement. We'll explain the entire implant process, from surgery to final restoration, and answer all your questions. You'll understand the timeline and what to expect at each stage of your treatment.
Implant Placement Surgery
During a carefully performed procedure, we'll place the titanium implant post into your jawbone where it will serve as an artificial tooth root. We'll ensure your comfort with appropriate anesthesia or sedation options. After placement, you'll receive detailed post-operative care instructions and any necessary medications to manage discomfort during healing.
Healing & Integration
Over the next several months, the implant will fuse with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration. During this time, you may have a temporary tooth replacement to maintain your appearance. We'll monitor your healing with periodic checkups to ensure everything is progressing as expected.
Final Restoration
Once the implant has fully integrated, we'll attach an abutment and place your custom crown. Your completed implant will look, feel, and function like a natural tooth. You'll be able to eat, speak, and smile with complete confidence. With proper care, your dental implant can last a lifetime, making it the gold standard for tooth replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about this treatment
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care and routine dental checkups, implants can last 20 years or longer. Many patients enjoy a lifetime of function and aesthetics with just one procedure.
Does getting implants hurt?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia or sedation, so discomfort is minimal. Afterward, some swelling or soreness may occur but typically subsides within a few days.
Am I a candidate for dental implants?
Most healthy adults with sufficient bone density and healthy gums qualify. Even if you’ve experienced bone loss, treatments like bone grafting can make implants possible.
How do implants compare to dentures or bridges?
Unlike dentures that can slip or bridges that rely on nearby teeth, implants are anchored securely in the jawbone. This gives them superior stability, comfort, and long-term oral health benefits.
What is the recovery time?
Healing varies, but most patients return to normal activities within a few days. Complete osseointegration (bone bonding) may take several months, but temporary restorations can be worn during the healing phase.
