Dental Implants in Modesto, CA
Restore Function, Stability, and Confidence
Dental implants are the closest thing to growing a new tooth. A small titanium post placed in the jawbone acts as a new root, and a custom crown, bridge, or denture attaches on top. Implants don't rely on neighboring teeth for support, they help preserve the jawbone, and they let you bite and chew with confidence.
How an Implant Works
Each implant restoration has three parts: the implant post that sits in the bone, an abutment that connects above the gumline, and the crown or prosthesis you see. Over a few months, bone grows around the titanium post in a process called osseointegration. Once healed, the implant is firmly anchored.
Because the implant transmits chewing forces into the jaw like a natural root, it helps slow the bone loss that happens after a tooth is lost. Bridges and traditional dentures don't provide that stimulation.
Are You a Candidate?
Most adults in good general health can be considered for implants. What matters most is healthy gums and enough jawbone to support the post. Smoking and uncontrolled diabetes can slow healing and need extra planning. If bone has thinned since a tooth was lost, a bone graft may be recommended first.
Our in-office 3D CBCT scanner takes the guesswork out of this step. It shows the exact height and width of your jawbone and the position of nerves and sinuses, so Dr. Kaur can plan the size, angle, and depth of each implant before treatment begins.
The Implant Timeline
Implant treatment happens in stages, and most of the time is quiet healing. Here is how it typically unfolds.
- Consultation: exam, 3D CBCT scan, and a written treatment plan with costs
- Placement: the implant post is placed under local anesthesia
- Healing: usually several months while bone bonds to the implant
- Restoration: the abutment and custom crown, bridge, or denture are attached
