Dental Implants: A Gentle, Long-Term Solution for Missing Teeth

At Calleros Dental, we understand how deeply your smile impacts your confidence, comfort, and overall well-being. If you're missing a tooth or struggling with a failing bridge, dental implants offer a strong, natural-looking solution that not only restores your smile—but helps you feel whole again.

What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is a small titanium post that gently integrates into your jawbone, acting as a sturdy foundation for a replacement tooth or appliance. Placed by a general dentist or a periodontist (a specialist in gum and bone health), it’s a safe and trusted way to bring back function and aesthetics—often with results that look and feel just like your natural teeth.

Once healed, we carefully place a custom crown, bridge, or denture to complete your restoration, so you can smile, speak, and chew with ease.

Dental implants are:

✔️ Strong and supportive
✔️ Natural in appearance and feel
✔️ Long-lasting with regular care
✔️ Beneficial for your overall oral health

With proper maintenance, they can offer comfort and stability for many years to come.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

• Replace missing teeth without affecting healthy neighboring teeth

• Prevent unwanted shifting that can affect your bite or jaw comfort

• Restore your ability to enjoy your favorite foods and speak clearly

• Support the natural shape of your face and jaw

• Bring renewed confidence through a complete, beautiful smile

• Offer secure support for bridges or dentures

What to Expect During the Process

The dental implant journey is a thoughtful, step-by-step process that happens over a few months—always tailored to your unique needs and comfort.

1. Consultation & Planning
We begin with a gentle, comprehensive evaluation, including a 3D CBCT X-ray and scan of your teeth to assess bone and gum health. From there, we create a personalized treatment plan just for you.

2. Implant Placement
The implant is carefully placed into the jawbone using local anesthesia. Over the next few months, it naturally fuses with your bone—a process called osseointegration—creating a strong foundation.

3. Implant Crown or Bridge Placement
After three to four months, a custom crown or bridge is placed on your implant(s), requiring two brief appointments. We take great care to ensure it looks, feels, and functions beautifully—just like your natural smile.
