Dental Implants Look, Feel, and Function Like Natural Teeth

Losing a tooth or several teeth can feel scary, but it's great to know that your teeth can be replaced in a way that looks, feels and functions naturally.

There are several options for replacing missing teeth including fixed bridges, partial dentures, and full dentures.

Dental implants are one of the newer and best choices available. They have been around long enough now to have a proven history of success and offer many benefits that other options do not.

Implants are man made roots for teeth that can be placed directly into your jaw. They fuse with the existing bone and in almost all cases are considered permanent. Implants can be used to replace anywhere from one to a full mouth of lost teeth.


We know you will love them because:

• You will be able to eat and smile with confidence, knowing your new teeth are secure
• They don't need to be replaced like bridges, which last about 7 to 10 years
• They look and feel like natural teeth and never have to go in a jar at night like dentures
• The teeth next to your lost teeth will be stabilized and supported
• They don't get cavities 
• Your face shape will be supported, preventing it from looking sunk in and older
• They are so natural you may even forget you have them

We have been providing dental implants for the Rocklin area for years. Our long term experience along with our use of top quality materials make us the obvious choice for your tooth replacement needs. 

If you would like to learn more or find out if dental implants are the best option for you, call (916) 624-3119 for a consultation. 

We would love to support you in creating the healthy, happy smile you deserve. 

4 Reasons Why You Should Replace Missing Teeth

No one wants to lose a tooth, but sometimes teeth just can't be saved. In most cases, when a tooth has to be removed, it will also need to be replaced.

While it might seem tempting to postpone tooth replacement, there are consequences for waiting that can put your health, appearance, and other teeth at risk.

There Will Be Added Stress On Your Remaining Teeth
When one tooth is missing the other teeth have to work harder to compensate for it's loss. Often, the balance of how the teeth work together is thrown off and they come together in an unusual way that results in more bite force on certain areas of teeth. This added stress can put your remaining teeth at risk for fractures and other damage and make you more susceptible to TMJ joint problems.

You Might Look Older
Your teeth support your cheeks and help fill out the look of your face. When teeth are missing and that support is lost your face shape can change contributing to a look of premature aging. Replacing the missing teeth can help you look younger again.

Teeth Next to the Space Will Move, Putting Them at Risk
Your teeth work together in a balanced system. Each tooth rests against neighbor teeth to help it stay in place. When one is lost, the teeth on either side of the space start to tip into the empty area, looking for their neighbor. Teeth above or below the space will grow out of the bone and into the open space. This often contributes to a cycle of ongoing tooth loss.

Your Ability to Digest Food Can be Compromised
Chewing is the first step in the digestion process and when your ability to chew is compromised, your ability to digest food can be as well. This is most obvious in seniors or people who have lost several teeth. Preventing a cycle of tooth loss by replacing missing teeth can help you enjoy food and stay healthy for years to come.
