What is a Dental Implant?

Dental implants are the only form of permanent tooth replacement to be secured into the jawbone, just like a healthy tooth root. Unlike dentures or crowns and bridges, dental implants won’t slip or shift in place and can last as long as a lifetime with proper care.

Each dental implant is made up of a small titanium post that is carefully placed into the jawbone to support a custom replacement tooth (a dental crown or “pontic”). Dental implants can also be used to improve the retention and stability of full or partial dentures.

 

Is A Dental Implant Right For Me?

At your consultation for dental implants in San Francisco, Dr. Sosis can evaluate your case and tell you if you are a good candidate for dental implants. Typically an X-ray and CT-scan are performed to determine if you have the proper bone material necessary to place the implant. Dr. Sosis will also verify the size and type of implant that is best for your unique smile.

Dental Implants: Better Than Dentures And Bridges?

Unlike dental bridges, a dental implant is a mostly independent unit and will not require reshaping the adjacent teeth. Because they are secured into the jaw, they won’t slip, shift or fall out when eating or speaking and can be preferred to a bridge or denture.

 

Your Appointment For Dental Implants

At your appointment Dr. Sosis will carefully review your current dental health and inquire about your medical history. Although perfecting your dental implant takes time, the results will look, feel and function much like a healthy and natural tooth. After treatment with dental implants your smile can enjoy the following benefits of restorative dentistry:

  • Better esthetics
  • Increased functionality
  • Improved retention and stabilitycouple1
  • Little to no extra maintenance
  • Can last as long as a lifetime
