Dental implants are changing the way people live. Not long ago the only options to replace a missing tooth was bridgework, a removable plastic false tooth, or to do nothing at all.  Today the treatment of choice to replace missing teeth are dental implants. 

Dental implants are artificial root structures made of surgical grade metal which act as anchors for permanent crowns, bridges or dentures.  Dental implant help preserve facial structure and prevent bone loss that occurs with missing teeth.

The doctors at North County Oral & Facial Surgery Center provide patients with a healthy, confident, beautiful smile, through expert placement of dental implants.

We are the “Dental Implant Experts”.

 

A Team Effort

Restoring your bite with dental implants is a team effort between an Oral Surgeon and a Restorative or General Dentist. Our doctors perform the implant surgery after tooth extraction, and your dentist makes and fits the permanent crown, bridge or denture which goes over the implant. Your dentist would also provide a temporary prosthesis if needed while healing takes place after implant surgery.

Once the implants are in place, they will serve you well for many years if you take care of them and keep your mouth healthy. This means taking the time for good oral hygiene (brushing & flossing) and keeping regular appointments with your dental providers.
