Don’t you hate covering your mouth when you laugh or not showing your teeth when you smile? Missing teeth can take a heavy toll on your self-esteem and make simple daily activities like chewing and speaking feel incredibly difficult. Over time, hiding your smile affects your social life and your overall happiness.
At Irma A. Francisco, DDS in San Jose, California, Dr. Irma A. Francisco helps patients regain their confidence with high-quality restorative care. If you’re looking for a lasting way to rebuild your smile, dental implants offer the ultimate permanent solution.
Unlike temporary options like traditional dentures, dental implants act just like your natural teeth. They consist of a sturdy titanium post that’s surgically placed into your jawbone, where it fuses with the bone over time to create a rock-solid foundation. This process, known as osseointegration, ensures that your new tooth won’t ever slip or shift.
This secure foundation also prevents the bone loss that naturally happens when you lose a tooth. According to the National Institutes of Health, dental implant therapies are highly reliable, boasting survival rates of more than 90% percent in standard clinical settings.
Many people believe they must visit a specialized surgical clinic to get dental implants. However, with special education, a general dentist can perform implant surgeries. This means you can receive this life-changing care from a team you already know and trust.
Dr. Francisco has over 19 years of experience in general dentistry and regularly pursues advanced training to provide exceptional care. We’ll manage your treatment from start to finish, ensuring your new teeth look, feel, and function beautifully. From the initial consultation to the final restoration, we'll keep you comfortable and informed.
When you choose implants, you’re investing in a lifetime of healthy smiles. They don’t slip or shift when you eat, meaning you can enjoy all your favorite foods without worry. They also support your facial structure, preventing the sunken look that can happen with missing teeth.
They also don’t require any special cleaning routines. You simply brush and floss them just like your natural teeth to keep your gums healthy and prevent infections. With proper care and regular checkups, your implants can last for the rest of your life.
You don’t have to live with the discomfort or embarrassment of missing teeth. Let us help you restore your smile and your peace of mind. Call or message our team in San Jose today to explore your options.
