Dental Implants in Santa Clara, CA

Missing teeth can affect how you eat, speak, and feel about your smile. At Genesis Dentistry Dental Group, we provide dental implants in Santa Clara, CA to help patients replace missing teeth with a stable, natural-looking solution. Dr. Michelle De La Vega and our team take a personalized approach to restorative dentistry, carefully evaluating your oral health and discussing the treatment options that fit your needs.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are designed to replace missing teeth from the root up. An implant consists of a small titanium post that is placed in the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. As the area heals, the implant integrates with the surrounding bone, creating a secure foundation for a dental restoration.

Once healing is complete, the implant can be restored with a custom crown, bridge, or other implant-supported restoration. The goal is to restore both the appearance of your smile and the function of your bite.

Who Is a Candidate for Dental Implants?

Dental implants may be appropriate for adults who are missing teeth or have teeth that cannot be predictably restored. Healthy gums and adequate jawbone are important because the implant needs strong surrounding tissue for support.
During your dental implant consultation in Santa Clara, Dr. Michelle De La Vega will examine your teeth and gums, review your health history, and evaluate the bone in the treatment area. Dental imaging may also be used to help determine whether an implant is appropriate. If you have experienced bone loss or gum disease, additional treatment may sometimes be recommended before implant placement.

The Dental Implant Process

Dental implant treatment is completed in stages. First, we evaluate your mouth and create a treatment plan based on the number and location of the teeth being replaced. The implant is then placed into the jawbone and allowed time to heal and integrate with the bone.

After healing, an abutment connects the implant to the final restoration. Your crown or other restoration is designed to complement the surrounding teeth for a comfortable, natural-looking result.
