Dental Implants in San Carlos, CA
Dental implants are a long-lasting, natural-looking way to replace missing teeth, restore your smile, improve chewing, and help you feel confident every day.
What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a permanent replacement for a missing tooth. It is designed to look, feel, and work much like a natural tooth.
A dental implant has three main parts:
- Implant: A small titanium post placed in the jawbone. It acts like the root of your new tooth.
- Abutment: A small connector that attaches to the implant.
- Crown: The visible part of your new tooth, custom-made to match your natural teeth.
How Does It Work?
First, the implant is gently placed into the jawbone. Over the next few months, the bone heals around the implant and holds it firmly in place.
Once it has healed, your dentist attaches the new tooth (crown) to the implant.
Why Choose a Dental Implant?
Dental implants can help you:
- Eat and chew comfortably
- Smile and speak with confidence
- Replace missing teeth without relying on neighboring teeth
- Maintain the shape and strength of your jawbone
- Get a replacement tooth that looks and feels natural
With good brushing, flossing, regular dental visits, and proper care, dental implants can last for many years—and often much longer.
