Are you tired of dealing with the discomfort and inconvenience of missing teeth or ill-fitting dentures? Dental implants might be the perfect solution for you. As a leading-edge dental treatment, dental implants provide a permanent, sturdy solution to replace missing teeth. These are artificial tooth roots, usually made from titanium, that provide a strong foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth. Unlike dentures or bridges, dental implants are designed to last a lifetime, with the look, feel, and function of natural teeth. They do not only restore your smile but also your confidence, allowing you to eat, speak, and laugh without worry.
If you're missing a tooth or several teeth, dental implants offer a long-term, durable solution that can significantly improve your quality of life. Unlike other dental prostheses, implants are securely anchored into your jawbone, providing a stable base for artificial teeth. This means you won't have to worry about your replacement teeth slipping or causing discomfort. Plus, dental implants help preserve bone structure. This helps to prevent the bone loss that often accompanies tooth loss. They also do not require altering the structure of adjacent teeth, which is necessary for bridges. So, if you want a solution that looks and feels like your natural teeth and can last decades with proper care, dental implants could be the right choice for you. Call our Milpitas dentist today if you have any additional questions regarding dental implants.

Unlike tooth-supported bridges, dental implants do not require reducing other teeth. Because nearby teeth are not altered to support the implant, more of your own teeth are left intact, improving long-term oral health. Individual implants also allow easier access between teeth, which can improve oral hygiene.
Dental implants look and feel like your own teeth. And because they are designed to fuse with bone, they become permanent. This restores your smile and confidence, positively impacting your social and professional interactions.
Dental implants are very durable and will last many years. With good care, many implants last a lifetime. They eliminate the inconvenience of removing your dentures and the need for messy adhesives to keep them in place.
The first step in the dental implant process is a comprehensive examination and consultation with Dr. Ernest Wong. This includes a thorough dental exam, X-rays, and 3D images, and in some cases, models of your teeth and jaw. Based on your unique situation, Dr. Wong will discuss your treatment options and create a personalized treatment plan.
Once you're ready to proceed, the next step is the placement of the titanium implant. The implant is surgically placed into the jawbone where the tooth is missing. This surgery is generally done under local anesthesia and is a comfortable procedure for most patients. After the implant is placed, the healing process begins. This can take anywhere from 3-6 months.
After your jawbone has healed and the implant is firmly integrated into your bone, the final step is the placement of the abutment and the crown. The abutment is a small connector post that holds your new tooth. Once it's placed, an impression of your teeth is taken and sent to a dental lab where your new crown will be made. The crown is then attached to the abutment, completing your smile restoration.
