What is a Dental Implant?

Implants are a type of tooth replacement that includes inserting a new "root" into the jawbone. This titanium "root" can support a crown, bridge, or denture once it has bonded with your bone.

San Jose's Dr. Trinh can also replace partials and other types of dentures with implants. Because they look and operate like natural teeth and have a higher success rate than all other forms of tooth replacement, dental implants have become the industry standard for replacing outdated dentistry and missing teeth.

Although the initial cost of an implant is more than that of other tooth replacement options, the long-term benefits readily outweigh the price difference. Because implant dentistry entails preserving the integrity of facial tissues and replacing lost teeth, it is an investment in overall health, attractiveness, and well-being.
