Dental Excellence Bay Area offers state-of-the-art dental implant solutions to restore your smile and regain optimal oral health. Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed in the jawbone, serving as sturdy foundations for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function just like natural teeth.
We exclusively use Neodent® and Straumann® implants, recognized as best-in-class solutions known for their exceptional quality and reliability. These implants offer superior durability and longevity at an affordable price, ensuring that you receive the highest standard of care without compromising on quality.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
- Permanent Tooth Replacement: Dental implants are fixed prostheses that mimic the structure and function of natural teeth. They provide a stable and durable solution for replacing missing teeth, restoring your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
- Local Anesthesia and Surgical Placement: The placement of dental implants requires local anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. Dr. Potdar performs the surgical placement of implants right here in our San Jose dental office, ensuring a seamless and efficient process.
- Optimal Bone Health: Adequate bone height and width are essential for the long-term success of dental implants. Our team carefully evaluates your jawbone structure to determine if additional procedures, such as bone grafting, are needed to ensure the longevity of your implants.
Treatment Process
- Initial Consultation: Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Potdar, during which he will assess your oral health, discuss your treatment goals, and determine if dental implants are the right option for you.
- Treatment Planning: Based on the findings from your consultation and any necessary diagnostic imaging, Dr. Potdar will develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. This plan will outline the number of implants needed, the placement procedure, and any additional treatments required.
- Implant Placement: The surgical placement of dental implants is performed under local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. Dr. Potdar will precisely position the titanium posts in the jawbone, where they will fuse with the surrounding bone tissue through a process called osseointegration.
- Healing and Integration: Over the following weeks and months, the implants will gradually integrate with the jawbone, providing a stable foundation for the final restorations. During this time, temporary restorations may be placed to maintain aesthetics and function.
- Restoration: Once the implants have fully integrated, impressions will be taken to fabricate your permanent restorations. These may include crowns, bridges, or implant-supported dentures, depending on your individual needs and preferences.
- Maintenance and Care: After your dental implants are restored, it's essential to maintain good oral hygiene practices, including regular brushing, flossing, and six-month visits to our San Jose dental office for professional cleanings and exams. This ensures the longevity of your implants and the overall health of your smile.
