Implants

Dental implants are a modern, long-term solution for replacing missing teeth. Made from durable titanium, they integrate naturally with your jawbone to serve as stable anchors for lifelike replacement teeth. Unlike traditional bridges or dentures, implants offer a permanent, natural-looking restoration that feels and functions just like real teeth—allowing you to smile confidently and enjoy your favorite foods without restriction.

Think of dental implants as specialized prosthetics for your mouth, comparable to a prosthetic limb or finger. Whether you’re missing one tooth, several teeth, or require a complete full-mouth restoration, dental implants in Bakersfield are customized to restore functionality, aesthetics, and confidence.

In essence, dental implants act as precision-engineered prosthetics for your mouth—similar to how a prosthetic limb restores physical ability. They are FIXED and CANNOT BE REMOVED. Whether you’re missing a single tooth, multiple teeth, or require a full-mouth restoration, our customized implant solutions at SDDS Dental in Bakersfield are designed to restore your bite, enhance your appearance, and renew your confidence.

WE FOLLOW A SIMPLE DENTAL IMPLANT PROCESS

1. Comprehensive Evaluation & Planning

Every case begins with a detailed clinical exam and imaging to assess bone density, gum health, spacing, and bite alignment. We design a personalized treatment plan using advanced software to determine the ideal number and placement of implants, whether you need one or several replaced. In this phase, we also review whether bone grafting or other preparatory procedures may be needed to ensure optimal results.

2. Implant Placement Surgery

Using minimally invasive techniques, we place surgical grade titanium implants into the jawbone. Depending on your case, we may place a healing cap, temporary crown, or immediate denture on the same day to maintain aesthetics and function during healing. For full-arch cases, we often use 4 to 6 implants per arch to support a permanent restoration. The procedure is minor and outpatient.

3. Healing & Osseointegration

Over a few months, your bone naturally fuses with the implants in a process called osseointegration. This creates a strong, lasting foundation. Temporary restorations—if used—ensure you can speak and eat comfortably while healing progresses. At SDDS Dental, we monitor healing closely to ensure long-term stability before proceeding to the final restoration.

4. Final Restoration & Long-Term Maintenance

Once integration is complete, custom abutments are placed and precise digital scans are taken for fabrication of your custom restoration. Your final crown, bridge, or full-arch prosthesis is then fabricated to match your natural teeth in shape, color, and bite. It is securely attached to the implants—restoring full function and aesthetics. We provide personalized hygiene instructions and recommend regular checkups to keep your implants healthy for years to come.
