What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that provide a permanent, stable base for replacement teeth. At our dental office in Fontana, dental implants are used to replace missing or severely damaged teeth and can improve your dental health while providing you with a natural-looking smile. However, patients can also choose to receive it for use with customized dentures for increased stability. In either case, they are a foundation for tooth replacement that can restore missing teeth and give you back your smile.

What's the Process Like?
Getting dental implants requires a series of steps and appointments, but patients agree that the results are worth the process. First, your dentist will perform a comprehensive dental exam to determine if it is the right solution for you. An X-ray or CT scan may be taken as well to get a full image of your jaw area. Then, your doctor will create a personalized treatment plan that details the placement in your jawbone. For most patients, the entire process can take about five to eight months.
Benefits
- Improved dental hygiene: it make brushing and flossing your teeth easier than with dental bridges.
- Preserve your jaw health: replacing a missing tooth can help stop other teeth from shifting or your jaw from losing bone mass over time.
- Enhanced self-confidence: it looks and feels like natural teeth, so you can smile with confidence, knowing that your new teeth will not move or shift.
- Lasting results: they are designed with durability in mind, often lasting patients for a lifetime when properly cared for.
Signs Dental Implants Are the Right Choice for You
If you have missing teeth, dental implants may be the ideal solution for you. Other signs this could be the right choice include:
- You are in generally good dental health.
- Your jawbone is strong enough to support dental implants.
- Your gums are healthy and free from any infections or diseases.
- You are missing only one or a couple of teeth.
- You are ready for a few steps in order to see lasting results.
Caring for Long-Lasting Results
Caring for dental implants is much like caring for regular teeth in most regards. You should brush and floss them daily to remove any bacteria or plaque buildup, and attend regular dental checkups to ensure they are healthy. Due to their durability, it tends to resist any damage from food, allowing you to eat whatever you want to have in your diet. However, we still recommend being careful when chewing hard foods to avoid potential damage.
