Dental Implants: Restoring Your Smile with Confidence
Dental implants have revolutionized the field of restorative dentistry, offering a durable and natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth.
At Elevated Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, we specialize in dental implant procedures, providing our patients in San Diego, CA, with reliable and long-lasting tooth replacement options.
What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone, serving as artificial tooth roots. These biocompatible implants fuse with the surrounding bone over time through a process called osseointegration. Once fully integrated, dental implants provide a strong and stable foundation for the attachment of custom-crafted dental restorations, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures.
Benefits of Dental Implants
- Improved Aesthetics: Dental implants closely resemble natural teeth, enhancing your smile and restoring your facial structure, improving overall aesthetics.
- Enhanced Functionality: Dental implants restore the ability to bite, chew, and speak naturally, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods and engage in social activities without worry.
- Longevity: With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a durable and cost-effective tooth replacement option.
- Preservation of Jawbone Health: Dental implants stimulate the underlying jawbone, preventing bone loss and preserving the integrity of your facial structure.
- Confidence and Self-Esteem: Dental implants provide a permanent solution for missing teeth, restoring your confidence and improving your self-esteem.
The Dental Implant Process
- Consultation and Treatment Planning: During your initial consultation, our experienced oral surgeons will evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals, and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
- Implant Placement: The dental implant procedure is performed under local anesthesia or sedation to ensure your comfort. Our skilled surgeons will precisely place the implants into the jawbone, allowing them to fuse with the bone over time.
- Osseointegration: The healing process, known as osseointegration, typically takes several months. During this time, the implants become fully integrated with the jawbone, creating a strong and stable foundation.
- Restoration Placement: Once osseointegration is complete, custom dental restorations, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures, will be attached to the implants, providing a functional and natural-looking smile.
- Follow-up Care: Regular follow-up visits will be scheduled to monitor the healing process and ensure the long-term success of your dental implants. Our team will provide detailed instructions on oral hygiene practices and ongoing maintenance.

The Proof is in Our Patients
They helped me with my problem very quickly, the staff makes you feel as if you were at home, they explained the procedure in great detail so that I understood exactly what they were going to do to me and if in case I had questions I would ask them with confidence . I had some questions and they kindly answered them. Everything went perfect and without any problem. Thanks to Dr. MacDowell
I had an ongoing issue that "erupted" into a serious issue on a Friday afternoon. I was referred to Elevated and called around 2pm on a Friday. By 3:30 I was in the chair and out the door after surgery by 5pm. I have had no complications since.
Dr. MacDowell and his entire staff were professional.
I want to say Dr. James McDowell was and is the most caring individual I have ever had the pleasure of being a patient with. His level of compassion deserves the highest level of respect and appreciation. Please consider this company as the gold standard of oral surgery options. I would trust them with my life.
