Dental Implants in Tustin
Are you missing one or more teeth? Struggling with dentures that slip or feel unnatural? Dental implants may be the life-changing solution you’ve been searching for. At Transformation Dental Partners in Tustin, we specialize in advanced, long-lasting tooth replacement options tailored to your unique needs—because your smile deserves nothing less.

In this guide, you'll discover everything you need to know about dental implants, including candidacy, procedure, pricing, alternatives, and why so many patients trust our team for their transformation.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are permanent, natural-looking replacements for missing teeth that restore not just your smile, but your ability to chew, speak, and live with confidence. Unlike dentures or traditional bridges, dental implants are surgically placed into your jawbone, where they fuse with the bone through a process called osseointegration. This makes them extremely strong, stable, and durable—functioning just like real teeth.
At Transformation Dental Partners, we offer a full range of implant options for patients in Tustin:
Components of a Dental Implant:
- Implant Post – A biocompatible titanium or zirconia screw that acts as the artificial tooth root.
- Abutment
– A connector piece that joins the implant post with your final restoration.
- Crown, Bridge, or Denture – The visible tooth (or teeth) custom-made to match your natural smile.
Types of Dental Implants We Offer:
- Single Tooth Implants
– Ideal for replacing one missing tooth without affecting adjacent teeth.
- Implant-Supported Bridges
– Restore several missing teeth with a secure, fixed bridge anchored to implants.
- All-on-4 / All-on-6 – Replace a full arch of missing teeth using only 4–6 implants per jaw.
- Mini Dental Implants – A great solution for those with reduced bone density or tight spaces.
Fun Fact: With proper care, dental implants can last 20+ years—often a lifetime.
Dental implants not only look, feel, and function like real teeth, but they also prevent bone loss, which can occur when teeth are missing and the jawbone no longer gets stimulation.
Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?
One of the most common questions we hear at Transformation Dental Partners is:
“Am I a good candidate for dental implants?”
The good news is that most healthy adults are eligible, and even patients with bone loss or previous dental issues may still qualify with the right treatment plan.
You’re likely a good candidate if you:
- Have one or more missing or damaged teeth
- Are generally in good health
- Are a non-smoker or willing to stop during healing
- Have sufficient jawbone—or are open to bone grafting
- Are looking for a long-term, stable, and natural-looking tooth replacement
Common concerns—and solutions:
- Bone loss? We offer advanced bone grafting, sinus lifts, and zygomatic implants.
- Chronic conditions? Conditions like diabetes or heart disease don’t automatically disqualify you—we’ll evaluate and coordinate with your physician.
- Already wearing dentures? Implants can upgrade your denture to a stable, implant-retained solution.
- Fear of dental surgery? We offer sedation dentistry and gentle care for your peace of mind.
Step-by-Step: How the Dental Implant Process Works
1. Consultation & 3D Imaging
We use advanced CBCT scanning and digital impressions to assess your bone health, bite alignment, and ideal implant position.
2. Custom Treatment Plan
Whether you need a single implant or a full-arch solution, we personalize your treatment to optimize comfort and long-term success.
3. Implant Placement
The titanium post is placed surgically under local anesthesia or IV sedation. Most patients report minimal discomfort.
4. Healing & Osseointegration
Your jawbone fuses with the implant over several months, creating a secure, natural anchor.
5. Abutment & Crown Placement
Once healed, we attach the abutment and your final, lifelike crown for a beautiful, functional new smile.
6. Smile with Confidence!
Eat, speak, and smile with the strength and appearance of real teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do dental implants hurt?
Not as much as you might think! Most patients say the discomfort is similar to a tooth extraction. We use local anesthesia and offer sedation options for added comfort. Most people return to normal activities the next day.
Can I get dental implants if I have bone loss?
Yes, in many cases. We offer bone grafting, sinus lifts, and mini implants as alternatives. A 3D scan will determine the best path forward.
What is the average cost of dental implants in my area?
In the Tustin area, average implant costs range from $3,000 to $4,500 per tooth. Final pricing depends on your oral health, the number of implants, and any extra procedures like bone grafting.
How long do dental implants last?
With good care, implants can last 20+ years—or even a lifetime. The crown on top may need replacement in 10–15 years due to wear, but the implant post often stays for life.
Are implants covered by insurance in California?
Some PPO dental plans may cover parts of the procedure (like crowns or extractions), but many don’t cover the implant post. Medical insurance, HSAs, and FSAs may help. Our team will check your benefits and explain all payment options.
Do dental implants look natural?
Absolutely. We custom-design your crown to match your surrounding teeth in shape, shade, and size. Most people won’t be able to tell it’s not your natural tooth.
