Why Choose Dental Implants
Tooth loss is becoming increasingly common in America, but with modern dental implants in Walnut Creek, CA, we are able to functionally and aesthetically replace missing teeth. Consisting of three parts—an implant post that stimulates the jaw bone, a natural looking dental crown and an abutment piece to connect it all together. With the permanent implant post being surgically placed within your jaw, you will not have to worry about the tooth becoming loose, falling out, or worry about what you eat. They also look natural within your smile, blending seamlessly with surrounding teeth. With proper care, you can expect them to last the rest of your life.
“Dental implants are the best long-term result because it gives you a stable support for a tooth as opposed to a removable device, which may only give you support for a short period of time”
Dr. Andrew Ferrier
