Dental Implants If you are missing one or more teeth and want to improve your chewing ability, appearance, speech, and confidence, dental implants may be an option. Dr. Romero uses modern implant technology to help patients restore their smiles.
Before recommending implants, Dr. Romero examines the existing teeth, jawbone, and gum tissue. Implants replace lost tooth roots and are placed beneath the gums. As the surrounding bone heals around the implant, it creates a stable foundation for a crown or other dental restoration.
If an implant site does not have enough bone volume, a bone graft may be recommended. Bone loss can result from periodontal disease, injury, infection, or a previous extraction. Grafting can replace missing bone and help create enough support for an implant.
