Dental Implants in Bakersfield

Living with missing teeth can be more than just a hit to your confidence—it can affect your daily life, from how you chew your favorite foods to the way you speak and socialize. Dental implants offer a secure and lasting solution to replace missing teeth. They're designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, restoring your smile's appearance and functionality, so you can get back to enjoying the little things without discomfort.

Why Should I Get Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a game-changer if you're missing one or several teeth. They provide a permanent base for replacement teeth, unlike dentures, which are removable and can slip or cause discomfort. Implants are as sturdy as your natural teeth, allowing you to eat, laugh, and talk without the fear of your teeth moving out of place. Plus, they help maintain your facial structure, preventing the bone loss that often comes with missing teeth.

The Benefits

Natural Look and Feel

Dental implants are the closest you can get to natural teeth. They're anchored in your jawbone just like your original teeth, so they look, feel, and function like your own.

Improved Speech and Comfort

With dental implants, you won't have to worry about the slippage that can happen with dentures. This means you can speak clearly and comfortably without the fear of your teeth moving around or making unexpected noises.

Eating Without Compromise

One of the biggest joys implants bring back is the ability to eat whatever you like. They're sturdy and stable, so you can bite into your favorite foods with ease.

The Process

How It Works

01

Placement

In this phase, your dentist surgically inserts the titanium implant into the jawbone, positioning it as the new root for the artificial tooth.

02

Healing and Osseointegration

Following placement, you'll have a period of healing where the implant fuses with the bone—a process known as osseointegration. This provides a strong foundation for the new tooth.

03

Applying the Restoration

Once the implant has integrated with the jawbone, an artificial tooth (known as a crown) is attached to the implant. This completes the restoration and gives you back your full smile.

FAQS

How long do dental implants last?

What does an implant feel like?

An implant feels like your natural tooth. After it's fully integrated with your jawbone, you shouldn't notice any difference between the implant and your natural teeth.

Will dental implants stop bone loss?

Yes, dental implants can help prevent bone loss. By replacing the tooth root, they provide the necessary stimulation to the jawbone to maintain its density, much like natural tooth roots would.
