The Right Team to Complete Your Smile
Our smiles are often part of our first impression, which is a lasting impression. That is why it is so important to feel comfortable with the aesthetics of your smile, so you are proud to share it in any setting be it professional, social, or private.
Improved confidence can be life-changing. Once your smile looks and feels complete, you might find yourself being more willing to smile in pictures, dressing a bit nicer so your outfit matches your smile, and getting more excited and smiling during important life events. When you fill the gaps in your smile with implants, you might find that you’re smiling more often.
The Risks of an Incomplete Smile
An incomplete smile certainly affects the cosmetics of your smile, but did you know missing or damaged teeth pose a large health risk as well? Missing teeth can become a health risk not only to your oral health but your overall well-being. Fortunately, Dr. Cast at Evolution Dental offers the latest and most advanced tooth replacement treatments: dental implants.
Dental implants are the natural-feeling, long-lasting solution to tooth loss, returning the beauty of your smile while improving your oral health.
Evolution Dental is so committed to restoring your smile that we teamed up with Dr. Samuel Lee: the founder of the International Academy of Dental Implantology. Dr. Cast and Dr. Lee have more than 40 combined years of dental implant experience to create the most skilled implant team in the desert.
If you are in the Palm Springs or Palm Desert area, don’t go another day with an incomplete smile. Contact our office to schedule a dental implant consultation and discover what we can do for you.
How Can Dental Implants Benefit Me?
Before
After
The beautiful and durable dental implants our office offers provide a wide range of both cosmetic and restorative benefits. By getting a complete smile with these implants, your oral health and overall well-being can drastically improve.
Here are just a few examples of the benefits you can look forward to when getting dental implants at Evolution Dental:
A Long-Term Solution: Our dental implants are built to last a lifetime. Better yet, they require no more maintenance than your natural teeth. Simply brush, floss, and schedule routine dental checkups as normal to keep your new smile healthy and happy.
Enhanced Smile Cosmetics: Wanting a picture-perfect smile is completely understandable and also obtainable with our dental implants. Each of these tooth replacements is beautifully sculpted for a natural and aesthetically pleasing look.
Protect Your Oral Health: Missing teeth are a threat to the hard and soft tissue of your mouth. It can cause dental shifting, changes in your bite, bone deterioration, and even increase your chances of developing periodontal disease. Protect your oral health with the help of our dental implants.
What Are Dental Implants?
With their growing popularity, a lot of patients are curious about what exactly dental implants are. The most straightforward answer is this: dental implants are the most advanced treatment to replace any missing or damaged teeth.
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that provide a permanent base for replacement teeth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are a long-lasting solution that mimics the look, feel, and function of natural teeth.
Each implant is composed of three main components: a titanium or zirconia post, which is surgically placed into the jawbone; an abutment, which connects the post to the replacement tooth; and a custom-made crown that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth.
What makes dental implants so advanced is their ability to fuse with the jawbone, offering unmatched stability and durability. This integration not only prevents bone loss but also restores full chewing ability and a natural-looking smile. In short, dental implants are the gold standard for tooth replacement, offering a solution that looks, feels, and functions like your original teeth.
High-Quality Materials for a Seamless Smile
Only the highest quality materials are used in our dental implants which include titanium, zirconia, and medical-grade, biocompatible ceramics.
Because they are crafted using these incredibly durable materials, dental implants are able to completely replace missing teeth, restoring form and function to your smile. By being gently but securely affixed to your jaw, a dental implant will simulate your tooth’s root and the crown performing all the duties of your enamel.
AM I A CANDIDATE FOR DENTAL IMPLANTS?
If you or a loved one are missing a single tooth, or multiple teeth, or even need to have all of your teeth replaced, you are already a potential candidate for this amazing treatment. At Evolution Dental, we want to ensure the success of these state-of-the-art tooth replacements which means there are a few other considerations.
For example, in addition to a consultation, we will require a dental exam. This lets us check the condition of your jaw and gums, making sure they are healthy for this procedure. We offer services like bone grafts and periodontal cleanings if your mouth needs a little extra support before receiving a dental implant.
With that said, consider yourself a dental implant candidate if any of the following apply to you:
- You are missing a single tooth or multiple teeth.
- You are looking to replace all of your teeth due to advanced decay or dental trauma.
- You are interested in a more natural feeling replacement for your teeth.
- You prefer a tooth replacement that doesn’t require daily upkeep such as dentures.
- You are prepared for a longer treatment and recovery process in exchange for a longer-lasting restoration.
If any of these conditions describe you, then you should consider scheduling a dental implant consultation. Give Evolution Dental a call and discover the difference experience can make.
TYPES OF DENTAL IMPLANTS
The dedicated dental professionals at our office understand that every smile is unique, which means each treatment plan should be as well. At Evolution Dental, we never try a “one size fits all” approach to your dental care, but instead offer a wide range of treatments that allow you to get your smile, your way.
Our dental implant treatment is no different. We offer an impressive variety, each designed to address a particular oral health issue. Here are just a few options:
MULTIPLE TEETH SOLUTIONS
If a single lost tooth can be damaging to your oral health, multiple missing teeth only amplify that danger. However, dental implants can even provide a permanent solution to this problem. For example, our implant-supported dental bridges or implant-supported dentures replace your natural teeth while offering extra support to your remaining teeth.
SINGLE TOOTH RESTORATIONS
Whether it is the result of a sports injury, workplace accident, or just bad luck, a lone tooth can be lost. While missing a single tooth is often seen as a cosmetic issue, that simply isn’t true. A single lost tooth can result in a 30% loss of bone density in select areas of your jaw. But both the aesthetics and health of your smile can be restored with our dental implant-supported crowns. Not only will they provide the same benefits as your original teeth, but they can also reverse any damage the missing tooth caused to your oral health.
COMPLETE SMILE RESTORATIONS USING ALL-ON-X
At Evolution Dental, we have the experience and the dental technology to treat even the most extreme dental issues. This includes our All-on-X dental implant service. This is a specialized implant system where we can replace all of your teeth with only 4–6 carefully placed implants that support a whole arch of new teeth.

Improve Your Chance for a Successful Outcome
Successful dental implant placement and healing require strong bone support and efficient tissue regeneration. That’s why we use Platelet Therapy for implant cases and oral surgery. Leukocyte-Platelet Rich Fibrin (L-PRF) is a natural, advanced solution that enhances both by accelerating recovery and promoting bone growth. Using a small sample of your own blood, L-PRF is created through a specialized process that concentrates your body’s natural healing factors. Once placed at the surgical site, L-PRF helps reduce complications, improve implant success, and speed up healing—all without the use of additives or chemicals. This innovative therapy harnesses your body’s own regenerative power for a smoother, more effective implant process.
Dental Implant FAQs
We want all of your questions to be answered before you commit to a treatment. Dr. Lee and Dr. Cast are here to answer any questions you have about dental implant treatments. Here we share some common questions about implants.
We provide an electric toothbrush and water flosser to every implant patient to aid them in the best possible home care. These will help ensure effective cleaning, reduce the risk of infection, and promote optimal healing around the implant site.
