Get the confidence that comes with a strong, healthy, natural-looking smile.
Having problems with your teeth interferes with your everyday quality of life. Teeth that are wobbly, broken or decaying are unsightly and painful, and they make it hard to chew and enjoy healthy, nutritious foods. If you are hiding your smile, afraid to bite into an apple or just done dealing with constant discomfort and worry, dental implant treatment with the doctors at Charming Smiles of La Quinta can change everything.

A dental implant is a titanium or ceramic post that replaces a tooth root and forms a strong and stable bond with the bone. A lifelike crown, bridge or denture is attached.

3D Imaging Technology Makes Our Implant Surgery Precise and Efficient
Dr. Nieto and Dr. Chung provide guided implant surgery using state-of-the-art 3D technology.
Our doctors are committed to providing the most up-to-date dental care possible. They use the latest, proven dental technologies to provide fast, accurate and comfortable implant placement.
Our CBCT scanner and specialized implant treatment planning software are crucial components of the elevated standard of care patients receive at Charming Smiles of La Quinta.
Placement of the implants is computer-guided to ensure asbolute precision and accuracy.
The doctors use our 3D CT scanner to see all the features of your oral anatomy in a 360-de-gree X-ray. This allows them to plan your procedure for optimal precision.
Types of Implant Procedures We Do
Single Implant
An individual missing tooth is replaced with a single implant, an abutment and a crown.
Implant Bridge
Multiple adjacent teeth are replaced with an implant bridge. An implant bridge does not require cutting down healthy adjacent teeth—as a traditional dental bridge does—and it is more economical than replacing each lost tooth with an individual implant.
Implant-Supported "Snap-In" Dentures
If you need full-arch or full-mouth teeth extraction, or if you have a traditional denture that is uncomfortable and unstable, an economical option is a removable overdenture held securely in place by two to four dental implants with ball-and-socket-style “snaps.”
New Teeth In One Day
This state-of-the-art option for replacing a full set of teeth pro-vides a great new smile in one day and restores near-natural chewing power.

Learn what to expect from your implant treatment
Complete Exam & 3D Imaging
After a consultation to discuss your needs, your dental implant treatment begins with a thorough oral exam. The doctors take 3D X-rays with our dental cone beam CT scanner to get a full picture of your teeth and mouth.
Meticulous Planning
Using the 3D data acquired with the CT scanner, our doctors map out the exact optimal location, depth and angle to place each needed implant.
Gentle Tooth Extraction
If you have an old tooth or teeth that need to be removed to make way for your implant(s), our doctors will delicately extract them, all while preserving as much of the supporting bone structure as possible.
Preparing the Site for an Implant
The doctors provide bone grafting, when needed, in order to establish a stable, strong foundation for implant placement.
Guided Surgery Ensures Accuracy
Our doctors use computer-guided surgery for all our implant cases to ensure the utmost precision, accuracy and patient comfort. As a result, the procedure is efficient and minimally invasive, with a fast recovery time.
Beautiful New Teeth
Lifelike, attractive new teeth are created and attached to your implants. They are made of strong and natural-looking materials tailored to serve each individual patient’s needs. Your new teeth will compliment your face and naturally blend in with your other teeth.
Follow-Up Visits
Our doctors stand by their work. At follow-up appointments, they will check on the healing progress of your implant sites and help you to properly maintain your implants so that they can last a lifetime.

New Teeth In One Day
Get a full arch of fixed-in new teeth the same day you get your dental implants!
New Teeth in One Day is the optimal solution for full-arch teeth replacement. It allows nearly anyone to replace a full set of teeth with strong, beautiful and lasting new teeth that cannot be removed except by a doctor.
This state-of-the-art procedure uses just four to six dental implants that are strategically placed to take advantage of the areas of greatest bone density in your jaw. A 3D X-ray, taken with our cone beam CT scanner, allows the doctors to see every detail of your oral anatomy, including the density of your jawbone and the location of your nerves. They will find the optimal areas for implant placement that take advantage of the strongest areas of your jawbone—this can sometimes avoid the need for bone grafting entirely.
After meticulously planning your procedure, the doctors will be able to remove any remaining teeth, place the implants and attach an aeshetic and functional provisional arch of teeth to the implants —all in one visit. You won’t have to spend any time without teeth!
Once the implants have had the chance to fully integrate with your jawbone, you will return to our office to receive your amazingly lifelike final teeth that restore near-natural chewing strength. You’ll be able to eat whatever you want again and smile with confidence!
Call 760-548-2855 today to schedule an appoinment to meet with our doctors and find out if New Teeth in One Day is right for you!
Four to six dental implants secure a full arch of teeth that look, feel and function like real teeth. With this permanent teeth replacement solution, you can even eat foods like apples, steak and corn on the cob again!
