Dental Implants Overview

Imagine smiling confidently, enjoying your favorite foods without hesitation, and speaking naturally without worrying about gaps in your teeth. At Embarcadero Dentistry, we understand the impact of missing teeth on your quality of life. Dental implants at Embarcadero Dentistry in San Francisco may be the solution you’ve been searching for if you’re tired of hiding your smile or struggling with discomfort and inconvenience. Our team of skilled specialists, including Dr. H. Kashani and Dr. Darin T. Johnston, are here to help you reclaim your smile and restore function with personalized dental implant solutions.

What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are designed to replace missing teeth from root to crown. Composed of biocompatible titanium posts surgically implanted into the jawbone, dental implants provide a sturdy foundation for natural-looking prosthetic teeth. This unique structure mimics the natural tooth root, providing unparalleled stability, functionality, and aesthetics.

Why Replace Your Missing Teeth?

The consequences of missing teeth extend beyond aesthetics, affecting oral health, speech, and overall well-being. Untreated tooth loss can lead to shifting of adjacent teeth, bite misalignment, gum recession, and bone deterioration. Furthermore, gaps in your smile can impact your ability to chew properly, leading to nutritional deficiencies and digestive issues. You can avoid these complications by replacing missing teeth with dental implants and enjoy a healthy, functional smile for years.

What are the Benefits of Dental Implants?

  1. Enhanced Aesthetics: Dental implants blend seamlessly with natural teeth, restoring a youthful appearance and boosting self-confidence.
  2. Improved Functionality: Unlike traditional dentures, dental implants allow for comfortable chewing, speaking, and smiling without slipping or discomfort.
  3. Preservation of Jawbone: Dental implants stimulate the jawbone to prevent bone loss, preserve facial structure, and promote long-term oral health.
  4. Durability and Longevity: Dental implants can last a lifetime with proper care, making them a cost-effective and reliable tooth replacement option.
  5. Convenience: Dental implants eliminate the need for messy adhesives and daily removal, providing a hassle-free solution for missing teeth.

Our Dental Implant Services

Single-Tooth Implants:

Ideal for replacing a single missing tooth, single-tooth implants consist of a titanium implant post topped with a customized porcelain crown. This comprehensive solution restores the appearance and function of your natural tooth with remarkable stability and longevity.

Implant-Supported Bridges:

Implant-supported bridges offer a fixed and seamless solution for patients missing multiple adjacent teeth. By anchoring the bridge to strategically placed dental implants, we can restore the aesthetics and function of your smile without compromising adjacent healthy teeth.

Implant-Retained and Implant-Supported Dentures:

Implants can be combined with a denture to provide a stable and comfortable alternative to a traditional denture. By securing the denture to dental implants, we eliminate slippage and discomfort, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

What to Expect When Getting a Dental Implant

  1. Consultation and Treatment Planning: We begin with a comprehensive consultation to assess your oral health, discuss your treatment goals, and use advanced imaging to develop a personalized implant treatment plan tailored to your needs.
  2. Implant Placement: Dr. Kashani or Dr. Johnston will precisely position the implant posts within the jawbone, where they will integrate and fuse with the surrounding bone tissue over time. The procedure can be performed with IV Sedation.
  3. Healing and Osseointegration: During the healing phase, known as osseointegration, the implant posts will integrate with the jawbone, forming a stable foundation for the prosthetic teeth. This process typically takes several months to complete.
  4. Prosthetic Restoration: Once the implants have fully integrated with the jawbone, digital impressions of your mouth will be taken to fabricate custom prosthetic teeth. These prosthetic teeth will be attached to the implants, restoring your function, and improving your smile and overall aesthetics and confidence.
