All Your Dental Needs, One Trusted Office
Dental Implants in Murrieta, CA
Dental implants are a modern, long-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth, and one of the most transformative treatments in restorative dentistry. At Peak Vision Dental, Dr. Matthew Kanter offers personalized dental implant care using state-of-the-art technology for a precise, comfortable experience from start to finish.
Whether you're missing one tooth or several, dental implants provide a stable foundation for natural-looking restorations designed to restore both function and aesthetics. Unlike removable dentures or bridges, dental implants are anchored directly into the jawbone, which helps preserve bone health and maintain facial structure.
Patients in Murrieta benefit not just from the aesthetic improvements, but also from renewed confidence while eating, speaking, and smiling. With advanced surgical planning tools like 3D imaging, your implant journey with Dr. Kanter is tailored, efficient, and designed with a focus on your comfort and long-term health.
Why Should I Get Dental Implants?
If you're missing a tooth or facing the possibility of an extraction, dental implants offer unmatched advantages. More than just a cosmetic fix, implants are a health-preserving treatment that strengthens your bite, stimulates bone retention, and integrates naturally into your everyday life. They feel, look, and function just like real teeth, and will never shift or move.
At Peak Vision Dental, Dr. Kanter is deeply committed to individualized care. He evaluates each patient’s unique oral health profile, lifestyle, and goals to determine if implants are the right fit. Because he's directly involved from consultation to placement to final restoration, you’ll always feel heard, respected, and part of the decision-making process. It’s just one of the many ways our patient-first philosophy sets us apart from high-volume dental clinics.
Get to Know
Dr. Shah
Dr. Shah has been a periodontist since 2018 and prides himself on being gentle and caring about his patients' comfort. He is detailed and thorough in his explanations of diagnosis and treatment, and loves to provide helpful and practical suggestions for ongoing oral hygiene.
Why Did You Decide to Become a Periodontist?
Gum health is often overlooked by patients and dentists alike, and that’s a main reason Dr. Shah wanted to become a periodontist. Because many patients are better about caring for their teeth than caring for their gums, the perio niche is a unique place to educate patients on the oral microbiome and its relationship to one’s overall health. As a periodontist at Peak Vision Dental, his specialties are gum surgery, soft tissue grafts, bone grafts, tooth extractions, and dental implants.
Outside of the Dental Office, What Do You Like to Do?
Dr. Shah is all about spending time with his family and friends (many of whom are also in dental and other medical fields) and exercising and fitness. If he didn’t become a periodontist, he would have been an environmental scientist, biologist, or clinical researcher - all areas he enjoys learning about in his spare time.
Low-Maintenance and Long-Lasting
With good hygiene and consistent check-ups with Dr. Matthew Kanter in Murrieta, dental implants can be a lifelong solution. Unlike other restorations, they don’t decay or require special adhesives.
Bone Health Preservation
Implants mimic natural tooth roots by stimulating the jawbone. This prevents the bone loss that often occurs with missing teeth, even after treatment with bridges or dentures. In turn, this helps maintain your facial structure for years to come.
Restored Function and Confidence
Implants allow you to eat, speak, and smile without discomfort or self-consciousness. They replace missing teeth with stability that feels natural. No slipping, clicking, or shifting like you might find with removable dentures.
The Dental Implants Treatment Process
Personalized Consultation & 3D Planning
Your journey begins with a one-on-one evaluation with Dr. Kanter, who takes time to get to know you and your dental history. With advanced 3D scanning, he assesses bone quality and maps out every detail of your implant placement for precision and predictability. You'll leave your consultation understanding your options clearly and confidently.
Implant Placement
Using image-guided technology and a gentle, minimally invasive approach, Dr. Kanter surgically places the titanium implant into the jawbone. This implant will bond with your bone over time, creating a strong, lasting foundation. Thanks to modern techniques and sedation options, most patients experience minimal discomfort and a smoother recovery than expected.
Final Restoration
Once the implant has fully integrated with your bone, a process called osseointegration, you'll return for the final step. A custom crown is crafted to match the color, shape, and contour of your natural teeth. With same-day crown capabilities in-house, Peak Vision Dental streamlines this stage for both precision and convenience.
FAQ
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are small, titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. They serve as a sturdy, permanent foundation to support custom-made crowns, bridges, or dentures.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime. The restorations (crowns, bridges, etc.) placed on top of the implants typically last 10-15 years before potentially needing replacement.
Are dental implants painful?
While there may be some discomfort during the initial surgical placement, most patients report little to no pain during the healing process. Our Murrieta dentist also offers various sedation options to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
How much do dental implants cost?
The cost of dental implants can vary depending on the number of teeth being replaced, the complexity of the case, and your insurance coverage. We'll provide a detailed estimate during your consultation and work with you to find the most affordable solution that suits your budget and lifestyle.
