Dental Implants Roseville, CA

Missing teeth? Our experienced dentist may recommend dental implants to replace your teeth and restore your smile. Dental implants are a reliable, long-term solution for replacing missing teeth. Whether you need to replace a single tooth, several teeth or a full arch, dental implants offer a stable and durable option.

The implant process begins with the placement of a titanium post in the jawbone at the site of the missing tooth. This post acts as a replacement for the natural tooth root, providing a secure foundation for your new tooth. Over time, the post fuses with the bone through a process called osseointegration, ensuring the implant stays firmly in place and mimics the natural tooth structure.

Once the implant has fully integrated with the bone, the restoration phase begins. Depending on your needs, the restoration may involve a dental crown, bridge or even a complete or partial denture. Each restoration is custom designed to match your natural teeth in both appearance and function. Your new dental implant will look and feel like your original teeth, making it easier to speak, eat and smile with confidence. Additionally, the secure fit of the implant means you can enjoy your favorite foods without worrying about discomfort or shifting, which can occur with other tooth replacement options.

Choosing dental implants has several benefits beyond aesthetics:

Implants help preserve the jawbone, preventing bone loss that often occurs after tooth loss. This preservation is essential in maintaining your facial structure and preventing the “sunken” look that can result from untreated tooth loss.
Implants also provide better stability for adjacent teeth, reducing the risk of shifting or misalignment, which can affect your bite and overall dental health.
Dental implants are known for their longevity. With proper care and maintenance, your implants can last a lifetime, making them a cost-effective solution for tooth replacement in the long run.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are permanent tooth replacements that involve surgically placing a titanium post into the jawbone. This post acts as an artificial tooth root, performing the same functions as your natural tooth roots to keep your supporting bone strong and healthy. The implant post is capped by a restoration to replace the visible portion of the tooth. This restoration could be a single crown, a bridge, or a denture. Dental implants are often the preferred option for replacing missing teeth due to their durability, natural appearance, and ability to preserve jawbone health.

How long do dental implants last?

Dental implants can last a lifetime with proper care. The implant post itself is designed to be permanent, while the dental restoration may need replacement after 10 to 15 years due to normal wear. Maintaining good oral hygiene and visiting our dentist regularly will help ensure the longevity of your implant.

Is the dental implant procedure painful?

Most patients report minimal discomfort during and after the dental implant procedure. The surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia or sedation, ensuring you remain comfortable. Post-operative discomfort can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain medications. Any soreness typically subsides within a few days. Our dentist will provide detailed aftercare instructions to help with recovery.

How long does the dental implant process take?

The entire dental implant process can take several months, depending on individual factors. After the implant post is placed, the jawbone needs time to heal and integrate with the post, which usually takes three to six months. Once healing is complete, our dentist will place the restoration. Although the process is lengthy, the long-term benefits of dental implants make it worth the wait.

Who is a good candidate for implant dentistry?

Most adults in good health are candidates for dental implants. However, sufficient jawbone density is necessary to support the implant. If you have experienced bone loss, bone grafting may be recommended. Additionally, candidates should have healthy gums and commit to maintaining good oral hygiene. Our dentist will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine if implants are right for you.
