Dental Implants in Poway, CA
Losing one or several teeth can affect how comfortably you chew and speak and may gradually influence the health of the surrounding teeth and supporting jawbone. Whether you have lost one tooth or several, replacing missing teeth can help restore oral function and support long-term oral health. At Tooth Rock Periodontics, we provide dental implants in Poway, CA as a long-term option for missing tooth replacement. Dr. Galya Raz and Dr. Travis Steinberg begin every patient’s care with a comprehensive implant evaluation to assess periodontal health, bone support, and overall oral health before suggesting a personalized treatment plan.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are developed to take the place of missing tooth roots by securely anchoring a titanium post within the jawbone. As the implant heals and fuses with the surrounding bone, it creates a stable foundation that may support a crown, bridge, or denture, depending on your treatment plan. Every dental implant treatment recommendation is based on a comprehensive evaluation of your periodontal health, bone support, and restorative needs. When clinically appropriate, bone grafting may be recommended before implant placement to help prepare the area for treatment.
When Dental Implants Might Be Recommended
A comprehensive implant consultation may be recommended if you:
- Are missing one or more teeth
- Have experienced tooth loss because of injury, decay, or periodontal disease
- Want a long-term option for replacing missing teeth
- Wear a removable denture and are exploring additional treatment options
- Have adequate bone support or may benefit from bone grafting before implant placement
Each patient undergoes a personal assessment to decide if dental implants are a suitable treatment choice.
