Why People Love West Soho Dentistry
Natural Look and Feel
Dental implants are designed to mimic the appearance and function of natural teeth. They are anchored securely in your jawbone, providing a stable foundation for eating, speaking, and smiling with confidence. No one will know they’re not your real teeth.
Long-Lasting Durability
Unlike other tooth replacement options, dental implants are built to last. With proper care, they can last a lifetime, making them a wise investment in your oral health. Say goodbye to the inconvenience of dentures or bridges that need frequent adjustments or replacements.
Improved Oral Health
Dental implants help preserve the health of your jawbone and surrounding teeth. By replacing missing teeth, implants prevent the bone loss that often occurs when teeth are missing, helping to maintain your facial structure and prevent the shifting of neighboring teeth.

Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?
Dental implants are an excellent option for most adults with one or more missing teeth. Ideal candidates are those who have healthy gums and sufficient bone density to support the implant. Whether you’ve lost teeth due to decay, injury, or other reasons, Dr. Oh will assess your situation and develop a personalized treatment plan that meets your needs.
How Do Dental Implants Work?
The Implant Post
This titanium post is surgically placed into your jawbone, acting as the root of your new tooth. Over time, the post fuses with the bone, creating a strong foundation.
The Abutment
Once the implant has bonded with the bone, a small connector called an abutment is placed on top of the implant post. This part will hold the new tooth securely in place.
The Crown
The final step involves placing a custom-made crown on the abutment. The crown is designed to match the color and shape of your natural teeth, completing your new smile.
What to Expect During Your Dental Implant Treatment
Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation at West Soho Dentistry. Dr. Joanne Oh will examine your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine if dental implants are right for you. She’ll take the time to answer all your questions, ensuring you feel informed and at ease.
Customized Treatment Plan
If implants are the best option for you, Dr. Oh will create a detailed treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. This plan will outline the steps involved and give you a clear understanding of the timeline and costs.
Implant Placement
During a minor surgical procedure, Dr. Oh will place the implant post into your jawbone. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia, and our team ensures your comfort throughout the process.
Healing and Osseointegration
After the implant is placed, a healing period of a few months is required for the implant to fuse with your jawbone—a process known as osseointegration. During this time, you may be fitted with a temporary crown to maintain your smile.
Placement of Abutment and Crown
Once healing is complete, Dr. Oh will attach the abutment and custom crown to the implant. This completes your treatment, leaving you with a fully functional, natural-looking tooth.
Enjoy Your New Smile
With your dental implant in place, you can enjoy the benefits of a complete, healthy smile. Regular check-ups and good oral hygiene will ensure your implant lasts for years to come.
Frequently
Asked Questions
How long does the dental implant process take?
The entire process, from implant placement to the final crown, typically takes several months. This timeline allows for proper healing and ensures the best possible outcome.
Are dental implants painful?
The implant placement procedure is done under local anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the surgery. Some discomfort is normal during the healing period, but it’s usually manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers.

The cost of dental implants varies depending on the number of implants and the complexity of your case. At West Soho Dentistry, we offer flexible financing options to help make dental implants affordable for you.
Can anyone get dental implants?
Most adults with healthy gums and sufficient bone density are candidates for dental implants. Dr. Oh will evaluate your oral health and discuss your options during your consultation.
How do I care for my dental implants?
Caring for dental implants is similar to caring for natural teeth. Brush and floss regularly, and visit West Soho Dentistry for routine check-ups to keep your implant in great shape.
