Understanding Your Treatment
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are small titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Once the implant integrates with the bone, a custom crown is attached on top, creating a complete tooth replacement that is stable, natural-looking, and fully functional. At Dentist of Redlands, Dr. Munguia uses CBCT imaging and digital scanning technology to plan every implant placement with exceptional precision. Dental implants in Redlands, CA, are widely considered the gold standard for tooth replacement because they preserve bone, protect adjacent teeth, and deliver results that can last a lifetime with proper care.
The Benefits
The Benefits of Dental Implants
Natural Look and Feel
Implants are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth in both appearance and daily function.
Bone Preservation
The implant post stimulates the jawbone just like a natural root, preventing the bone loss that follows tooth loss.
No Impact on Neighboring Teeth
Unlike a bridge, implants don’t require grinding down neighboring teeth for support.
Improved Confidence
A complete, stable smile makes it easier to eat, speak, and engage socially without hesitation or self-consciousness.
Easy Maintenance
Implants are cared for just like natural teeth with regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups.
What to Expect
Our Dental Implants Process
Dental implant treatment at Dentist of Redlands is a carefully coordinated process that Dr. Munguia guides from the very first consultation through final crown placement.
Request an Appointment- 01
Evaluation
Dr. Munguia uses CBCT imaging and a digital scanner to assess your bone density, jaw structure, and overall oral health before creating your treatment plan.
- 02
Implant Placement
The titanium implant post is surgically placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia, with sedation available for patient comfort.
- 03
Healing Period
The implant is given time to fuse with the surrounding bone, creating a stable, permanent foundation for the final restoration.
- 04
Crown Placement
Once healing is complete, Dr. Munguia attaches a custom-crafted crown that matches your natural teeth in shape, shade, and function.
Common Types of Dental Implant Treatment
Single-Tooth Replacement
Single-tooth implants are perfect for replacing one missing tooth. A single titanium post is placed in the bone, topped with a custom-made crown that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth. This option preserves the integrity of adjacent teeth and prevents bone loss.
Multi-Tooth Implant Bridges
Instead of wearing a partial denture or traditional tooth-supported bridge, a fixed bridge can be installed on top of a pair of dental implants. Implant bridges are ideal for 3-4 missing teeth.

★★★★★ I recently completed orthodontic treatment with Dr. Nomi Lee, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. From the very beginning, she was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to clearly explain the entire treatment process. She made me feel comfortable and confident every step of the way, and the results exceeded my expectations. I also want to give a big thank you to her office Manager Erika, who helped me with my first appointment, linking my insurance and making every appointment smooth. Erika is a huge help when it comes to getting started with my dental treatment. If you’re looking for a general dentist and orthodontist who is skilled, kind, and has an amazing staff, I highly recommend Dr. Lee and her team. Five stars all the way!

I had another great experience at Dr. Nomi Lee’s office. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Dr. Lee is professional, kind, and truly cares about her patients’ well-being. I came in for a check-up and cleaning, and as always, my hygienist Yelena was fantastic—friendly, personable, and incredibly thoughtful. She always checks in to make sure I’m comfortable and takes extra care to ensure nothing is painful. It really makes a difference to be treated with that level of attentiveness. Erika in the front office is always looking out for my best interest. She never fails to have a positive demeanor. The entire staff is accommodating and kind, and they make going to the dentist a positive and stress-free experience. I highly recommend Dr. Lee and her team to anyone looking for excellent dental care with a personal touch.

Been going here for several months now and wow, love the friendly, warm staff and professional work. Initially, I came here for a simple tooth extraction but after further examination, the dentist saw 2 cavities and a cracked tooth. This led to several trips to their office, each one with a friendly text notification of an upcoming appointment the day prior to the procedure. Each experience has been a pleasant & professional one with the utmost concern for any pain or discomfort. The tooth extraction was a breeze and I barely felt anything. Elena did deep cleaning on my dentures 3 times and is such a sweetheart per experience, concerned for any pain and answering all my questions. This place has definitely helped me lose fear in going to the dentist 🙏

How much do dental implants cost?
The cost of dental implants depends on the number of implants needed, whether bone grafting is required, and the type of restoration being placed. Dr. Munguia will provide a full, itemized estimate after your imaging and consultation appointment.
Does insurance cover dental implants?
Coverage for dental implants varies widely by plan. Some insurers cover portions of the procedure, particularly the crown or preparatory treatments. Our team will help you understand your benefits and set up financing through Cherry, CareCredit, or Sunbit for any remaining balance.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper oral hygiene and regular dental visits, implants can last twenty years or more, and many patients keep theirs for a lifetime. The crown attached to the implant may need replacement after ten to fifteen years due to normal wear.
Am I a candidate for dental implants?
Most adults with good general health and adequate jawbone density are candidates for implants. Patients with bone loss may first need a bone graft, which Dr. Munguia can also perform right here at our Redlands office.
