What is a Dental Implant?

Missing teeth? Upgrade your smile with dental implants—the gold standard in tooth replacement. These titanium “roots” are securely placed into your jawbone, where they naturally bond and become a strong foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures.

At Santa Clara Dental, Dr. Steve Trinh helps San Jose patients replace uncomfortable partials and outdated dentures with permanent, lifelike implants that look, feel, and function just like real teeth.

While implants may cost more upfront, they’re a smart investment in your long-term health and confidence. They help preserve your jawbone, protect your facial structure, and eliminate the hassle of removable appliances—giving you a lifetime of smiles.
