Missing teeth can make everyday moments—like smiling, eating, or even speaking—feel uncomfortable. But it doesn’t have to stay that way. At 123 iSmile in Modesto, we help patients reclaim their confidence with dental implants, one of the most trusted and long-lasting solutions in modern dentistry.
If you’re considering dental implants, or just want to understand your options better, this guide is for you.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are small titanium posts that act as replacement roots for missing teeth. Once placed, they bond with your jawbone and provide a stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or even full dentures.
They’re designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth—which means you can smile, chew, and speak comfortably and confidently again.
Why Choose Implants Over Other Options?
While there are a few ways to replace missing teeth, dental implants stand out for their durability and natural look. Here’s why many of our Modesto patients choose implants:
- They last for decades with proper care
- They prevent bone loss in the jaw, helping to preserve your facial structure
- They don’t affect nearby teeth, unlike bridges
- They feel secure, so you don’t have to worry about slipping or clicking like you might with dentures
In short, implants don’t just restore your teeth—they restore your quality of life.
What Is the Process Like?
Getting dental implants is a step-by-step process, and we’ll be with you the entire way. Here’s what you can typically expect:
- Consultation and evaluation to determine if you’re a good candidate
- Implant placement where the titanium post is placed into the jawbone
- Healing period so the implant can fuse with the bone (this usually takes a few months)
- Final restoration, where we attach your crown, bridge, or denture for a complete, natural-looking smile
At 123 iSmile, we use advanced technology to ensure precision, comfort, and results that feel just right for you.
Is It Right for Me?
Most healthy adults with missing teeth are good candidates for implants, but factors like bone density, gum health, and lifestyle habits can affect eligibility. That’s why we always start with a personalized consultation. We’ll evaluate your needs, answer your questions, and guide you through the best treatment plan for your smile.
