Permanent Dental Implants in Fullerton

The Gold Standard for Tooth Replacement

Losing a tooth can significantly impact your self-esteem, your ability to chew properly, and your overall oral health. When a tooth is missing, the surrounding bone begins to deteriorate, which can lead to further tooth loss and changes in your facial structure. At Valencia Family Dental Care, we offer dental implants as the premier solution for replacing missing teeth, providing a permanent foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function just like natural ones.

A dental implant is a small titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone beneath your gums. Over time, the implant fuses with the bone in a process called osseointegration, creating a sturdy and durable anchor. Once healed, a custom-made dental crown is attached to the implant, seamlessly blending in with your remaining teeth.

Benefits of Dental Implants

• Natural Appearance: Implants are designed to look and feel exactly like your own teeth, restoring your natural smile.
• Unmatched Durability: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a highly cost-effective long-term solution.
• Preserves Jawbone Health: Unlike dentures or bridges, implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and preserving your facial structure.
• Eat What You Love: Implants function like natural teeth, allowing you to eat your favorite foods without pain, slipping, or discomfort.

Are You a Candidate for Implants?

Most healthy adults who have lost one or more teeth are excellent candidates for dental implants. The ideal candidate should have healthy gums and sufficient bone density in the jaw to support the implant. If you have experienced bone loss, Dr. Zaw Thu may recommend a bone grafting procedure to build up the necessary support before implant placement.

During your initial consultation, we will perform a comprehensive examination, including digital X-rays, to evaluate your oral health and determine if dental implants are the right choice for you. We will take the time to answer all your questions and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals.
