Serving Carmichael, Roseville, and Sacramento — Implant Dentistry for Exceptional Tooth Replacement Dental implants are relatively new in the field of dentistry, but they are making a huge impact on what can be done to restore a patient's smile. A dental implant consists of a false tooth attached to a root that is crafted from a high-strength titanium alloy. Dental implants differ from crowns or bridges in that they integrate permanently with the jawbone. Over the course of a short-term healing period, the titanium roots of dental implants slowly fuse with the jawbone, creating a permanent bond for teeth replacements that look and function just like real teeth.

Dental implants offer a way to restore the beauty and health of your smile permanently, and they require no more maintenance than regular brushing and flossing. Replacing missing teeth is not only an aesthetic endeavor. Missing teeth can result in long term damage to your jaw. When a tooth or teeth are lost, the adjacent teeth shift toward the remaining gap. This can result in misaligned teeth, which can impair speech and eating and result in jaw pain and headaches.

Dental implants not only look good, but they can help prevent the problems that often result from missing teeth. Dental implants, in essence, become new teeth in your mouth. They are permanent tooth replacements that halt any bone loss that may result with dental bridges or dentures. They preserve the integrity of the jaw, and they allow patients to use their full biting force. Implants are designed to last patients for the rest of their lives, and they are quickly becoming the first choice of patients who need to replace missing teeth. Serving Sacramento and Roseville, our Carmichael implant dentistry practice offers patients dental implants to help them achieve the beautiful smile they deserve.
