Durable Dental Implants in Elk Grove, CA
Are missing teeth taking the joy out of the everyday things you love, like eating your favorite foods and smiling with confidence? Or maybe you’re just tired of dealing with uncomfortable dentures and the slipping, clicking, and messy adhesives that come with them.
Replicating the function and appearance of natural teeth can be difficult, but dental implants are completely changing the way dentists and patients think about restorative dentistry. Whether you need to replace just one tooth or an entire arch, implants are the closest you’ll get to the real thing!
A dental implant is a small titanium post that serves as the replacement for the root portion of your missing natural tooth. The dental implant procedure involves surgically placing the implant into your upper or lower jaw, where it will naturally fuse with your bone to become a solid anchor for a crown, bridge, or denture. You can even brush and floss your implants just like you do your natural teeth!
Dental Implant FAQs
How long will my dental implants last?
When properly cared for, implants can last up to 15 years or more. Ensure you're brushing and flossing regularly and rinsing with an alcohol-free mouthwash. In addition to maintaining a rigorous at-home routine, visiting our office every six months for your professional cleaning will increase the lifespan of your implants.
How much do dental implants cost?
The cost of dental implants varies for each patient. However, we're insurance friendly and we accept a variety of payment methods. For those seeking dental implants without insurance, we work with CareCredit® patient financing. Our goal is to make affordable dental implants a reality for patients of all financial backgrounds.
Are dental implants safe?
