If you've lost a tooth due to injury, decay, gum disease, or any other reason, we recommend dental implants to replace missing teeth. Dental implants come the closest to replicating the look, feel, and function of your natural teeth.
Missing a tooth is incredibly common. Studies show 178 million people in the United States lack at least one tooth, and 35 million have no natural teeth left at all. Gum disease, severe decay, or an injury can easily cause this. But you do not have to live with a gap in your smile. At San Juan Dental Studio, we offer modern treatments to give you back a full, healthy set of teeth.
Dental implants are the absolute best way to replace missing teeth. Traditional dentures and bridges work well, but implants look, feel, and act like your real teeth. You can eat your favorite foods, speak clearly, and smile with true confidence. Because they act just like real tooth roots, they offer strong support for crowns, bridges, and even full sets of teeth. If you wear full dentures, implants stop them from slipping, making them fit much better.
A dental implant is a small, safe post that acts as a new tooth root. After we place it, the post bonds firmly with your jawbone. This creates a solid base for your new replacement teeth. It is a highly effective, long-lasting fix for a broken smile.
About 3 million people already have dental implants, and half a million more get them every single year. They offer huge advantages over older methods:
We offer several types of implants to fit your exact needs:
If you lack one tooth, a single implant and crown fill the space beautifully. We do not have to grind down the teeth next to it. It stands on its own and looks perfectly natural.
When you miss a few teeth in a row, this bridge fills the gap. It keeps your jawbone strong without relying

If you are suffering from a toothache or have sustained a dental injury, it is important to visit the dentist as soon as possible before more serious complications arise. Whether your dental emergencyDental implants are placed into the jawbone and mirror the same function as the root of a tooth. The procedure for dental implants is usually performed while a patient is sedated. Patients who undergo IV sedation must have an empty stomach and transportation home following the procedure. Most sedation patients will have little to no memory of the procedure occurring.
Generally, dental implants are made out of a biocompatible metal such as titanium. Biocompatible metals are also used for other common bone implants (such as shoulder, hip, and knee replacements). The visible portion of the implant is usually made out of porcelain and is custom-made to match your existing teeth.
Dental implants are designed to fuse to the bone, which makes them become permanent fixtures. Typically speaking, the success rate is nearly 100%. There are few cases in which the implant will not fuse as intended and must be removed. If this happens to occur, the procedure can be attempted again a few months later.
Dental implants are not usually covered by dental insurance, but may be covered under a patient's medical insurance. Our office and your insurance company can discuss coverage options with you based on your individual case and treatment plan.
