Transform Your Smile with Dental Implants

Missing teeth impact your smile and ability to eat and speak. Dental implants replace lost tooth roots and can restore beauty and function for the rest of one's life. We provide this service at West Portal Family Dentistry in San Francisco.

Understanding Dental Implants

Dental implants are small titanium cylinders placed into the jawbone, mimicking natural tooth roots. The body readily accepts this biocompatible material, ensuring a strong and lasting foundation for replacement teeth.

The Dental Implant Process

Consultation and Evaluation:

Treatment begins only when you're comfortable with the option. CT imaging helps plan the implant's exact placement.

Implant Placement and Healing

Implant Placement:

Temporary Tooth:

A small incision is made to place the implant in the gum and jawbone.

A temporary restoration is placed to ensure you don't leave without a tooth!

Final Restoration and Perfection

Healing:

Restoration:

The bone fuses with the implant over several months.

The temporary crown is replaced with a final crown, polished to perfection.
