Dental Implants in Cupertino, CA
The permanent, natural-looking solution to restore your smile and confidence.
What is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is the gold standard for replacing a missing tooth. It is a small, medical-grade titanium post that is surgically placed into your jawbone, where it acts as a replacement for the natural tooth root.
Over a few months, the implant fuses with your bone in a process called "osseointegration," creating a strong, durable, and permanent foundation. A custom-made dental crown is then attached to the implant, giving you a replacement tooth that looks, feels, and functions just like a natural one.
Benefits of Dental Implants
- Built to Last: Implants can last a lifetime with proper care.
- Preserve Bone Health: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss.
- Protect Healthy Teeth: Unlike bridges, implants don't require altering adjacent teeth.
- Natural Look & Feel: Eat, speak, and smile with total confidence.

Healing & Fusing
Over the next 3-6 months, the implant fuses with your jawbone (osseointegration), creating a solid foundation.

Your New Crown
Once healed, we attach a connector (abutment) and secure your custom-designed, natural-looking porcelain crown to the implant, completing your smile.
