Missing teeth can impact not just your smile, but also your ability to eat, speak, and maintain good oral health. Dental implants are the gold standard for tooth replacement, usually offering a long-lasting and natural-looking solution. At our Financial District, San Francisco dental office, we provide expert implant dentistry to restore your smile with precision and care.
A dental implant is a small titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as a replacement for a missing tooth root. Over time, the implant integrates with the bone in a process called osseo integration, providing a stable foundation for a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture. Dental implants look, feel, and function similar to natural teeth, making them a reasonable long-term solution for tooth loss.
Dental implants are an excellent option for patients who:
- Have one or more missing teeth
- Want a permanent, fixed solution (unlike dentures)
- Have sufficient jawbone density to support an implant (or are candidates for bone grafting)
- Are in good overall health and free from conditions that may affect healing (such as uncontrolled diabetes or severe gum disease or smoking)
If you are unsure whether dental implants are right for you, our Financial District dental team will assess your oral health and guide you through your options.
Dental Implants:
- Are usually long-lasting with proper care
- Are similar to a natural tooth in appearance
- Improve functions such as eating, speaking, and smiling without discomfort or slipping
- Preservation bone and prevent jawbone deterioration that occurs with missing teeth
- Have no or very little Impact on neighboring Teeth unlike bridges. Implants don’t require modifying adjacent healthy teeth
- Have over 95% success rate, making them one of the most reliable dental procedures
- Require a surgical procedure for placement which requires healing time
- Usually have higher initial cost upfront than other options; implants are a long-term investment
- May take several months to fully integrate with the jawbone before placing the final restoration
Caring for dental implants is easy and similar to caring for natural teeth:
- Brush & Floss Daily- Use a soft-bristle toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste
- Regular Dental Checkups- Visit our San Francisco office for professional cleanings and implant maintenance
- Avoid Smoking Tobacco- It can affect healing and increase the risk of implant failure
- Protect Against Grinding- If you grind your teeth, a nightguard can prevent excessive pressure on your implants and teeth
