What Are Single-Tooth Implants?
Losing a tooth or several teeth can negatively impact a patient's appearance and oral health. It is essential to seek care for a missing tooth or teeth as soon as possible, as gaps in your mouth can lead to more serious problems in the future. At San Ramon Family Dental in San Ramon, CA, Dr. Rupam Khanna can replace a missing tooth with single-tooth implants. Single-tooth implants use small titanium posts placed into the jawbone as an artificial root to ensure a strong, long-lasting dental restoration.
How Are Single-Tooth Implants Performed?
The implant process will begin with a thorough examination where we will assess your teeth and jawbone to ensure you have enough healthy bone to support the implant. Digital x-rays and impressions will be taken so a template can be created. Next, a simple surgical procedure will occur where the implant will be placed into the jawbone. It can take between 3 – 6 months for the bone to heal and fuse to the titanium post. This healing process is essential to create a firm foundation for the replacement tooth. After the jawbone has fully healed, the implant will be placed.
What Are the Benefits of Single-Tooth Implants?
Whether you have lost a tooth due to decay or trauma, single-tooth implants are an excellent option to help fill in the missing gap and renew your smile. Additionally, these implants offer our San Ramon, CA patients a host of benefits, such as:
- Easy to care for
- Improved speech
- Restores natural appearance and function
- Boosted confidence
- Long-lasting results
San Ramon Family Dental Reviews
I had an amazing experience at Dr. Rupam's office! From start to finish, the team was professional, friendly, and made me feel completely at ease. The office is clean, modern, and well-organized, and the staff ensures everything runs smoothly. I have been going to various dentist's for the last 30 years. This by far has been the best experience. Thrilled to say I finally found the perfect dentist!!
Dr Khanna and her staff are the absolute best. I have recommended her to so many friends and they all love this practice. The hygienists are thorough and take their time always checking in to make sure you are okay. Dr Khanna is so kind and very straight forward about your check up. She will tell you what she thinks needs to be taken care of right away and what she will keep watching. I always appreciate her honesty. She is so knowledgeable, kind and a true professional while still being so approachable. The staff will always answer any questions you have and take their time to make sure you re comfortable. I will continue recommending this dental group to everyone I know. They make you feel like family.
I recently had three wisdom teeth extracted by Phan and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the initial consultation to the post-procedure care, he was incredibly attentive, professional and genuinely invested in my well-being. He took the time to explain everything clearly, which made me feel at ease going into the procedure. During the extraction, his expertise and precision were evident, and he ensured I was comfortable throughout. Dr. Phan checked on me same day post extractions and made himself available to me during the weeks after to ensure recovery was going smooth. I highly recommend Dr. Phan to anyone in need of an oral surgeon who truly cares about his patients!
I would give the team at San Ramon Family Dental a A+ in all categories. Thank you for helping improve my dental health!!
Dr Rupam Khanna is an excellent dentist and is very caring and considerate with her patients.
