Affordable Dental Implants in Fremont, CA

Who Is a Good Candidate for Dental Implants in Fremont?

Most healthy adults who are missing teeth can get dental implants in Fremont, CA. The best candidates should have healthy gums, a jawbone that is strong enough to support the implant, and good oral hygiene in general. People who smoke, have uncontrolled diabetes, or have lost a lot of bone may need more tests or treatments before surgery, such as bone grafting. At Star Dental, your Fremont implant dentistry center, we carefully check every patient to see if they qualify and to make sure the implants have the best chance of working. Those who have lost just one tooth may also be ideal candidates for a single tooth implant for a natural, lasting solution.

What Is Dental Implant Treatment Like in Fremont, CA?

The dental implant work is a team effort between you and your dentist. Depending on your specific condition and the type of implant chosen, your dentist will create a treatment plan tailored to meet your needs.

1. Replacing a Single Tooth:  If you are missing a single tooth, one implant and a crown can replace it.

2. Replacing Several Teeth:  If you are missing several teeth, implant-supported bridges can replace them.

3. Replacing All of Your Teeth:  If you are missing all of your teeth, an implant-supported full bridge or full denture can replace them.

4. Sinus Augmentation:  A key to implant success is the quantity and quality of the bone where the implant is to be placed. The upper back jaw has traditionally been one of the most difficult areas to successfully place dental implants due to insufficient bone quantity and quality and the close proximity to the sinus. Sinus augmentation can help correct this problem by raising the sinus floor and developing
bone for the placement of dental implants.

5. Ridge Modification:  Deformities in the upper or lower jaw can leave you with inadequate bone in which to place dental implants. To correct the problem, the gum is lifted away from the ridge to expose the bony defect. The defect is then filled with bone or bone substitute to build up the ridge. Ridge modification has been shown to greatly improve appearance and increase your chances of successful implants that can last for years to come.
