Dental Implants

Implant Dentist in San Ramon, CA

If you have a missing tooth that’s impacting your comfort or confidence, a dental implant could be your solution.


Dental implants have had a considerable impact on modern dentistry – offering a highly viable solution to replacing missing teeth.



A dental implant is essentially an artificial tooth that is placed, or implanted, into your jaw where a dental crown is then capped on for a complete tooth that looks and even feels like a real tooth. The best part is that the new replacement tooth will function as seamlessly as your regular tooth.


Reasons you should consider getting a dental implant:

  • Missing Teeth
  • Dislike Dentures
  • Other Dental Issues

The Dental Implant Process

Getting a dental implant is a step-by-step journey designed to restore your smile with comfort and confidence. While each treatment plan is personalized, the process usually includes these key stages:

  • Consultation and Evaluation

    Your implant journey begins with a professional consultation. During this visit, the dentist reviews your oral health, takes necessary images, and discusses whether implants are the right solution for your needs.

  • Implant Placement

    A small titanium post is gently placed into the jawbone where the missing tooth once was. This post acts as an artificial root, giving your new tooth a stable foundation.

  • Healing and Integration

    Over the next few months, the implant naturally bonds with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration. This step is vital for creating a strong and lasting base.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a versatile solution, but not everyone is an immediate candidate. In general, you may be a good fit if you:


  • Have one or more missing teeth
  • Possess healthy gums free of active disease
  • Have sufficient jawbone to support the implant, or are open to procedures like bone grafting
  • Maintain good overall oral hygiene habits


Even if you’re unsure, a consultation is the best way to find out. A dentist will evaluate your health, review your options, and create a personalized treatment plan that fits your needs.

Frequently Asked Dental Questions

  • What Are Dental Implants?

    Dental implants are small, biocompatible posts that are placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. They provide a stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures, restoring the look and function of natural teeth.

  • How Do Dental Implants Work?

    Over time, the implant fuses with the surrounding bone through a process called osseointegration. Once healed, the implant can securely hold a custom-made restoration, allowing patients to chew, speak, and smile with confidence.

  • Who Is a Candidate for Dental Implants?

    Generally, people with healthy gums, adequate bone structure, and good overall oral health may be candidates for implants. A dentist will evaluate each case individually to determine if implants are the right solution.

  • What Are the Benefits of Dental Implants Compared to Other Options?

    Implants are designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth. They can help preserve jawbone health, prevent shifting of surrounding teeth, and eliminate many of the limitations of removable dentures.

  • How Long Do Dental Implants Last?

    With proper care—including good oral hygiene and regular dental visits—implants can last many years. Some patients enjoy their implants for decades.

  • What Is the Recovery Process Like After Getting Dental Implants?

    Recovery times vary depending on the individual and the treatment plan. In most cases, patients experience mild soreness for a few days, and healing can take several months as the implant bonds with the bone.

  • Are Dental Implants Safe?

    Dental implants have been used successfully for many years and are considered a safe and reliable treatment. Like any procedure, there are risks, but complications are rare when implants are placed by a qualified dental professional.

  • How Should I Care for My Dental Implants?

    Implants should be cared for just like natural teeth—brushing twice a day, flossing, and keeping up with regular dental checkups. Proper care helps ensure long-lasting results.
