What Are Dental Implants?
The tooth restoration service of placing dental implants involves surgically placing a titanium screw (the implant) into the jawbone which then fuses with the bone and acts just like a regular tooth root. These make for a much stronger foundation to replace missing teeth. Dentures, for example, only address the upper portion of the teeth above the gumline, which does nothing to maintain the jawbone’s density, so it will gradually deteriorate over time, making the dentures fit poorly.
Once your dental implant in San Diego has been placed, the jawbone will eventually fuses with the surface of the screw and fuse with the implant in a process called osseointegration. Once ready, a connecting attachment that holds the crown to the implant is attached. The crown itself is the replacement tooth over the gumline, which will be color-matched so it is indistinguishable from other teeth.

What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a small, screw-shaped post made of titanium that is surgically placed into the jawbone to replace a missing tooth root. Once inserted, dental implants can secure and stabilize a single crown, a multiple-tooth bridge, or even a full-arch denture. Dental implants are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth, allowing patients to restore both the functional and aesthetic quality of a healthy smile.
What is the process for getting a dental implant?
Dental implants in San Diego are surgically implanted into your jawbone by a credentialed dentist, fusing with your natural jawbone over time as you heal. Once bonded, a small connector is attached to the top of the implant to bond the implant to the replacement tooth or teeth. While this process traditionally takes several months to complete, modern immediate dental implant techniques allow some patients to have dental implants inserted in as little as one day, in one appointment, allowing them to heal quickly and move on without having to worry about a “toothless” look and without traveling to multiple offices.
