Dental Implants: What Are They?
Dental implants are an excellent treatment option for missing teeth, as well as an attractive alternative to removable partial or complete dentures. Dental implants provide support for the jaw, restorative dental crowns or fixed dentures.
Dental implants are actually titanium posts that are surgically implanted in the jawbone to serve as an anchor for an artificial tooth. We are able to complete the entire dental implants procedure in the comfort of our own office, instead of referring patients to another dental office for the first part of the procedure. The restorations used at our office are strong and natural looking to enhance and restore your smile. While dental implants are made to last a lifetime, they may require maintenance due to normal wear over the years.

Dental Implants in San Jose / Mountain View
The process for receiving dental implants takes place over several office visits, spread out over several months.
During the first appointment, Dr. Suzanna Lee or Dr. Trinh Lee will take a set of X-rays, and create a mold impression to gain accurate knowledge of the bones and gum tissue. After numbing the area, the implant is placed in the bone. In the months after the procedure, the implant will heal and fuse with the bone. Depending on the type of implant placed, a second surgery may be required to place the "post" that will hold the artificial tooth in place. In many cases, however, the post and anchor are placed at the same time.
Once the area has healed, our San Jose cosmetic dentists will take impressions of the mouth to be referenced in the creation of the artificial teeth. This may require several fittings over the course of a few appointments. Finally, the artificial teeth are securely attached to the implant, providing a restored, natural-looking smile.
Drs. Suzanna Lee and Trinh Lee provide patients with post-treatment instructions. Good oral hygiene habits, a healthy diet, and required check-ups will ensure that the dental implants last over the course of your lifetime.
