Upgrade Your Smile With Dental Implants

Dental implants, a natural-looking and durable solution for missing teeth, have become an increasingly popular option for restoring smiles. At Chalmers Dental in Arden, CA, we offer dental implants to help individuals regain their smiling confidence.

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are titanium posts surgically embedded into the jawbone to serve as sturdy foundations for replacement teeth. These posts mimic natural tooth roots, providing stability and support for various dental prostheses, including crowns, bridges, and dentures.

How are they placed?

The implantation procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia. A small incision is made in the gum tissue, and the implant post is positioned securely in the jawbone. Over several months, the implant integrates with the bone in a process called osseointegration. Once the implant has fully fused with the bone, a small connector piece called an abutment is attached to the implant post. This serves as the anchor for the final restoration. A lifelike crown, bridge, or denture is custom-crafted to match the color, size, and shape of your natural teeth. This restoration is affixed to the abutment, completing your new smile.

What are the benefits of dental implants?

Implants are a long-term solution that can last a lifetime with proper care. The benefits of dental implants include:

• Natural Appearance: Dental implants are virtually indistinguishable from real teeth, allowing you to smile, speak, and chew confidently again.
• Longevity: Unlike bridges and dentures, implants don’t require frequent adjustments and replacements.
• Improved Oral Health: Dental implants do not compromise adjacent teeth, which preserves their integrity and strength.
• Enhanced Confidence: Dental implants restore your smile and self-assurance. You can eat your favorite foods without worry and engage in social situations without feeling self-conscious.
• Preserves Bone Density: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss that occurs when teeth are missing and not replaced.
