How Dental Implants Work
Have you heard of dental implants but aren’t sure how they work? We think they are one of the most important advances to come along in dentistry in a long time! They have been used successfully for decades to replace one tooth, several teeth, or most of a smile.
When most people think about a dental implant, they picture the artificial tooth (crown, bridge, or denture) that takes the place of the missing tooth. But the secret of a dental implant is the tiny titanium post that a specialist places surgically in your jawbone.
Over time, the implant fuses fully to natural bone and tissue. This forms a stable foundation for the dental restoration that Dr. Nguyen will attach to it. When the process is finished, the dental implant looks and works just like a natural tooth.
Smile with Confidence Again
Getting a dental implant does not just fix the cosmetic problem that results when you are missing a tooth. Implants actually help maintain your best oral health.
Because the titanium post becomes part of your jawbone, it keeps surrounding natural teeth from shifting and becoming unstable. The implant also provides support for the jawbone, preventing deterioration, which commonly results when a tooth is lost.
A dental implant can change your life. When you have a fully functioning tooth, you can eat, drink, and speak with ease. Implants are comfortable, durable, and improve the appearance of your smile. If you’re a denture wearer, we can talk to you about holding your dentures in place with dental implants. Imagine not having to worry about your dentures moving out of place at the most embarrassing times!

Frequently Asked Questions
Losing just one tooth can lead to a series of events that can seriously compromise your overall oral health. The empty space left by a missing tooth gives surrounding teeth room to move into the void, and surrounding bone can start to deteriorate.
It is important to replace missing teeth as soon as possible, and dental implants are a popular and effective solution. A dental implant is surgically placed in your jawbone and serves as a replacement root for the missing tooth.
First, we will refer you to a trusted local oral surgeon who places a titanium replacement root into your jaw. This is the underlying piece of the implant. Once the implant has been secured in the jaw bone, healing usually takes several months. When we’re familiar with your case, we’ll be able to give you a better estimate. After the bone heals, we anchor a replacement tooth like a crown, bridge, or denture to the implant.
Secure, durable dental implants have changed the way we look at tooth replacement, and there’s a lot to consider when thinking about having a dental implant placed. We encourage you to contact our San Diego dental office, and we’ll be happy to arrange a convenient consultation with Dr. Nguyen.
