Replace Missing Teeth With Dental Implants

Losing a tooth can feel like a major setback. It can affect your confidence when you smile and even change how you speak and chew. At Premier Family Dental, we believe everyone deserves a full, healthy smile. If you’re looking to replace missing teeth in Santa Teresa, dental implants are a great option to consider. Unlike other solutions, implants are a long-lasting and durable way to restore your smile, and they offer benefits that go far beyond just looks.
Call us today at 575-332-5352 to schedule a consultation.
What Makes Dental Implants So Special?
Dental implants are a popular choice because they act just like a natural tooth root. An implant is a small post, usually made of titanium, that is placed into your jawbone. Over time, it fuses with the bone, creating a strong and stable foundation for a new tooth. This strong foundation is what sets implants apart from other solutions like traditional dentures.
The best part is that once the implant is in place, we can attach a variety of dental prosthetics to it. This includes single crowns, which replace one tooth, as well as bridges or dentures to replace multiple teeth. We even offer All-on-X, which uses just four to six implants to support a full arch of teeth.
A Beautiful & Natural Look
One of the main reasons people choose dental implants is their appearance. The crowns, bridges, or dentures that attach to the implants are custom-made to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth. This means they blend in perfectly with the rest of your smile, making it hard for anyone to tell the difference. You’ll be able to smile, laugh, and talk with complete confidence, knowing your smile looks as good as new.
When you replace missing teeth in Santa Teresa with implants, you get more than just a beautiful smile; you get a smile that feels and functions naturally. You can eat all your favorite foods without worrying about your teeth slipping or causing discomfort.
Protecting Your Facial Structure
Did you know that missing teeth can actually change the shape of your face? When a tooth is missing, the jawbone beneath it no longer has a tooth root to stimulate it. Over time, this lack of stimulation causes the bone to shrink. This bone loss can make your cheeks look sunken and cause your face to appear older.
Dental implants solve this problem. Because the implant post acts like a natural tooth root, it stimulates the jawbone and helps prevent this bone loss. This helps maintain the natural structure of your face and preserves your youthful appearance.
Relax With Our Advanced Care
At Premier Family Dental, our advanced technology and patient-centered approach make your experience as comfortable as possible.
We use computer-guided implant placement to ensure precise and safe surgery. We also offer sedation to help you relax throughout the process. Our team is here to make sure you feel at ease every step of the way.
Don’t let missing teeth hold you back any longer. Dental implants are a durable, long-lasting solution that can restore your smile’s beauty and your facial structure.
