See what makes Dr. SIlegy the best tooth implant dentist in Long Beach!
Single teeth implants use a titanium “peg” inserted into the jaw bone as a stable, permanent base for an artificial replacement tooth. The new tooth is permanently anchored to the new root (implant) and looks just like the surrounding teeth. Dental implants are completely lifelike so only a dental professional will know you’re missing a natural tooth!
This is the best option when all the teeth in an arch are missing. They are also the only suitable soultuon to replace removable or poorly fitting dentures. All-on-Four dental imiplants are a fixed bridge of teeth that is attached to several dental implants placed into the jaw bone. With Dr. Silegy’s same day dental implant procedure, you’ll leave the clinic with a “healing” bridge and a beautiful smile while you wait a few months for the permanent bridge.

Who Is a Candidate for Dental Implants?
Nearly everyone is a candidate for dental implants, even if they’ve been told otherwise. At Silegy OMFS, we take a comprehensive approach to ensure every patient has the best chance of receiving implants successfully. If your oral health needs improvement before treatment, we offer solutions to prepare your mouth for long-term implant success.
Conditions We Can Treat to Help You Qualify:
- Extensive tooth decay: Severe decay can compromise the health of your teeth and gums. Removing damaged teeth and replacing them with implants provides a strong, lasting solution.
- Many damaged or failing teeth: Teeth that are cracked, worn, or failing due to injury or disease can be removed and replaced with stable, functional implants.
- Missing most or all teeth: Full-arch implant solutions like All-on-Four restore an entire set of teeth with a secure, non-removable alternative to dentures.
- Significant bone loss: Even if you’ve been told you don’t have enough bone for implants, we offer advanced techniques such as bone grafting or zygomatic implants to create the necessary foundation.
- Oral infection: Untreated infections can affect implant success. We provide expert care to resolve infections and restore oral health before moving forward with implants.
At Silegy OMFS, we believe that everyone deserves a confident, functional smile. Dr. Tim Silegy and our team will create a customized treatment plan to help you qualify for implants and achieve a lasting solution for missing or failing teeth.

Anesthesia Options
Many dental implants are placed using local anesthesia and many patients often find they need only an over-the-counter pain medication such as Tylenol or Advil post-operatively.
With larger procedures, where multiple implants are placed or when placing implants immediately after extracting a tooth, many patients will choose more general anesthesia where they are asleep during the procedure. At Silegy, OMFS, your comfort is our top priority and our patients choose the anesthesia option that they are most comfortable with. Talk with us today about your questions and concerns so we can determine the best way to have your appointment be completely relaxing and comfortable.
