What Are Dental Implants?
The Gold Standard for Permanent Tooth Replacement
What Is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a small titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Once the implant integrates with the bone — a process called osseointegration — a custom crown, bridge, or denture is attached on top to restore your smile. Indeed, dental implants in Kenner, LA are considered the gold standard for permanent tooth replacement.
In fact, dental implants are the only tooth replacement option that preserves jawbone and prevents bone loss. As a result, they look, feel, and function exactly like your natural teeth — giving patients renewed confidence and lasting oral health.
Types of Dental Implants We Offer
- Single Tooth Implants — Replace one missing tooth with a natural-looking crown
- Multiple Tooth Implants — Replace several teeth with implant-supported bridges
- Full Arch / All-on-4 — Replace a full set of upper or lower teeth with 4–6 implants
- Same-Day Implants — Walk in, walk out with a new smile in one appointment
- Implant-Supported Dentures — A stable, permanent alternative to traditional dentures

Most adults with good general health are candidates for dental implants. In particular, you may be an excellent candidate if:
- You are missing one or more teeth
- You have a tooth that needs to be extracted
- You wear loose or uncomfortable dentures
- You want a permanent, natural-feeling tooth replacement

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, dental implants in Kenner can last a lifetime. Specifically, the titanium post is permanent; however, the crown on top may need replacement after 15–25 years depending on wear.
Does the implant procedure hurt?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you should feel no pain during surgery. Furthermore, post-operative discomfort is typically mild and easily managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
Recovery & Healing
How long is the healing process?
Osseointegration (bone fusion) typically takes 3–6 months. However, with same-day implants, you receive a temporary restoration immediately. Additionally, Dr. Edalati will provide you a personalized timeline at your consultation.
Does insurance cover dental implants?
Some dental insurance plans cover part of the cost. Moreover, we work with most major insurance providers and our team will help verify your coverage. Consequently, flexible financing is available for the remainder.
What is the success rate of dental implants?
Dental implants have a 95–98% long-term success rate, making them the most reliable tooth replacement option available. Indeed, Dr. Edalati’s 3000+ successfully placed implants reflect this exceptional standard.
Can I get implants if I have bone loss?
Yes, in many cases. Bone grafting procedures can rebuild lost bone to support an implant. Therefore, Dr. Edalati will assess your bone density with a 3D scan and recommend the best approach for your situation.
