How Dental Implants Work
A dental implant replaces the whole tooth, starting below the gumline. A small post is placed in the jawbone to act as a new root, and a custom-made crown attached on top looks, feels and works like a natural tooth. Because the root is replaced, implants help keep the bone beneath them strong and stop neighboring teeth from shifting into the gap. A single implant also does not rely on the teeth beside it, unlike a bridge. Dr. Carmin Gonzalez, who practices implant and cosmetic dentistry, and our team plan each case carefully.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Many adults with missing teeth can have implants. What matters most is healthy gums and enough jawbone to support the post. Conditions such as gum disease need to be treated first, and habits like smoking can affect healing, so we talk about them honestly. At your consultation, we review your health history and examine your mouth, then tell you plainly whether implants make sense or whether a bridge or dentures would serve you better. We go over the costs and your options up front, so you can choose with full information.
From Consultation to Final Crown
Every implant journey follows clear steps. It begins with an exam and imaging, including digital mapping, so we can plan the exact position of each implant. The post is then placed in the jawbone, and the area is given time to heal and bond with the bone. Finally, a custom-made porcelain crown is attached, shaped and shaded to blend with your other teeth. We explain the timeline for your situation at the start and keep you informed along the way. Whether you are replacing one tooth or several, the plan is tailored to your anatomy and goals.
Eat, Speak and Smile Freely
Implants are a popular choice for people who are tired of worrying about their teeth. They stay firmly in place, so you can bite into an apple, enjoy a steak or laugh with friends without a second thought. If you wear dentures now, implants can also be used to hold a denture securely, so ask us about implant-stabilized options.
