During the last 20 years, dental implants have become a desirable alternative to other methods of replacing missing teeth. Excellent success rates and a range of available options give dentists a variety of modern ways to treat and replace lost teeth. Osseointegration is the process your new implants go through to become stable and anchored into your jaw, making the new teeth “one with your jawbone”. 

At our Cameron Park dentist office we understand the need to be able to make an educated decision on dental implants and understand the costs. We strive to answer all your questions on implants and keep our dental fees within your budget and offer a variety of discounts.

At Sierra Dental and Orthodontics we can evaluate your case and tell you if you are a candidate for dental implants. Structurally, a dental implant is a titanium-based cylinder that replaces the missing tooth root. After a period of time, other parts are placed on the implant to enable your dentist to eventually place a crown (cap) on the implant. Implants can also be used to support full or partial dentures, dramatically improving denture retention and stability.

Most patients with adequate bone mass can have implants, although it varies among individuals. Typically an x-ray and CT-scan are performed to determine if you have enough bone to place the implant, as well as to verify the size and kind of implant that should be placed.

If you have any questions about dental implants and you live in or around Cameron Park, give us a call today! We’re located in the Safeway Shopping Center off highway 50.
