Believe In Your Beautiful Smile
Dental Implants at Eden Smiles Design
At Eden Smile Design in Newport Beach, we believe that a beautiful, confident smile is within reach for everyone. Dental implants are a remarkable solution to restore your smile's brilliance and function. We offer both titanium and zirconia options to tailor the treatment to your unique needs.
Unmatched Stability and Aesthetics
What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are cutting-edge tooth replacement solutions that provide unmatched stability and aesthetics. These implants consist of a small titanium post that is surgically placed in the jawbone, serving as a strong foundation for an artificial tooth, also known as a crown. The result is a replacement tooth that looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth.
At Eden Smile Design in Newport Beach dental implant treatments are elevated with the option of both titanium and zirconia solutions. Titanium implants are highly durable and have a proven track record of success. On the other hand, zirconia implants, while aesthetically superior due to their white color, are slightly weaker. Dr. Chau and his team will guide you to make the best choice based on your unique needs, ensuring your implant treatment is both functional and beautiful.
Personalized Solutions for Every Smile
Types of Dental Implants
Dental implants aren’t a one-size-fits-all solution—there are different types designed to meet different needs. Here’s a quick breakdown:
- Single-Tooth Implants: Ideal for replacing one missing tooth, these implants include a single post and crown, creating a seamless look and feel.
- Implant-Supported Bridges: When multiple teeth in a row are missing, implant-supported bridges use two or more implants to securely anchor a custom bridge, avoiding the need to alter healthy adjacent teeth.
- All-on-4® or Full-Arch Implants: For patients missing an entire upper or lower arch, this technique uses just four strategically placed implants to support a complete set of teeth. It’s a life-changing solution that restores full function and confidence.
- Mini Implants: These smaller implants are often used in areas with less bone density or for supporting dentures. They require a less invasive procedure and a shorter healing time.
Dr. Chau will guide you in choosing the best option to suit your unique needs and lifestyle.
Natural-Looking Teeth
What are the benefits of Dental Implants?
Dental implants provide a natural appearance that seamlessly integrates with your existing teeth, creating a smile that looks and feels genuine. Unlike other tooth replacement options, dental implants don't compromise aesthetics. They replicate the structure and function of natural teeth, restoring your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. This enhanced functionality eliminates the discomfort and limitations often experienced with missing teeth, allowing you to enjoy a full and active life.
Durability is another key advantage of dental implants, particularly titanium implants. They are renowned for their long-term success, offering a reliable and permanent solution for tooth replacement. This not only means that you can count on your dental implants for years to come, but it also helps you avoid the hassle and expense of frequent replacements. Additionally, if aesthetics are a top priority, zirconia implants, with their brighter luminosity, offer an even more aesthetically appealing option. Furthermore, dental implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and preserving facial structure. This ensures that your smile not only looks beautiful but also maintains its natural, youthful appearance, contributing to a healthier and more confident life.

Crafting Perfection
Your Dental Implants Procedure
The dental implant procedure is a multi-step process that involves the following key phases:
- Initial Consultation: This phase is dedicated to evaluating your oral health and determining the most suitable implant type for you.
- Implant Placement: During this surgical procedure, a small titanium or zirconia post is placed in the jawbone to act as the foundation for your new tooth.
- Healing Period: Over several weeks, the implant fuses with the bone in a process called osseointegration, ensuring a strong and stable base.
- Abutment and Crown Placement: Once the implant has integrated with the bone, an abutment is attached, and a custom-made crown is placed, completing your new tooth.
- Final Adjustments: Dr. Chau ensures that your new implant functions perfectly and is aesthetically pleasing.
At Eden Smile Design, we use advanced techniques and materials to make the process as comfortable and efficient as possible, guaranteeing the best possible outcome for your dental implant procedure.

Dental Implants Success Rates
Dental implants are widely regarded as one of the most successful treatments in modern dentistry. On average, they boast a 95–98% success rate, thanks to advancements in materials, technology, and techniques. Success depends on factors like proper oral hygiene, overall health, and following post-op care instructions. At Eden Smile Design, Dr. Chau carefully plans every step of the process to set you up for long-term success. This includes using high-quality materials, performing detailed pre-treatment assessments, and providing personalized aftercare to ensure your implants last for years to come.
Prioritizing Your Safety and Comfort
Dental Implants Risks
Like any surgical procedure, dental implants carry some risks, though serious complications are rare. Potential risks include infection, nerve damage, or implant failure due to insufficient bone support. However, with an experienced dentist like Dr. Chau, these risks are minimized. Using advanced imaging and diagnostic tools, Dr. Chau meticulously plans your treatment to ensure the safest and most precise outcome. Throughout the process, he prioritizes your comfort, safety, and long-term health, making dental implants a trusted and dependable solution for tooth replacement.

Investing in dental implants is truly an investment in your confidence, oral health, and quality of life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dental implants are a versatile solution for many individuals with missing teeth. However, the suitability of dental implants depends on factors such as your overall health, the condition of your jawbone, and your specific dental needs. During your consultation at Eden Smile Design, Dr. Chau will assess your unique situation and help you determine if dental implants are the right choice for you.
Titanium implants are known for their durability and long-term success in tooth replacement. They have a proven track record of providing a reliable and permanent solution. Zirconia implants, on the other hand, are prized for their white color, which offers superior aesthetics. Zirconia implants also resist corrosion better than titanium implants, and some studies show reduced plaque formation around zirconia implants compared to titanium. Zirconia can also be an attractive alternative for those who have allergic reactions or complications to titanium implants (though this is extremely rare).
At Eden Smile Design, we provide both options and will guide you to choose the one that best suits your individual needs and preferences. Whether you prioritize durability or aesthetics, we are dedicated to ensuring that your dental implant treatment is both functional and beautiful.
With proper care, dental implants can last 15 years or more—many patients enjoy them for a lifetime. Regular checkups and good oral hygiene are key to their longevity.
Coverage varies by plan. While some insurance policies partially cover the procedure, others may only help with related treatments like crowns or extractions. Our team is happy to assist you in understanding your benefits.
Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure, thanks to local anesthesia and sedation options. Post-surgery, mild soreness is common but manageable with prescribed or over-the-counter pain relief.
