What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are small titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. After healing, they support a custom restoration such as a crown, bridge, or denture.

As part of our comprehensive Restorative Dentistry services, dental implants are designed to:

• Replace one or more missing teeth
• Support long-term oral health
• Improve stability compared to removable options
• Help maintain jawbone structure following tooth loss

Implants are often recommended when a tooth cannot be saved or has already been lost due to decay, trauma, or periodontal concerns.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Patients throughout the South Lake Tahoe area choose dental implants for several reasons:

Stability and Function

Implants are anchored in the jawbone, providing a stable base for chewing and speaking.

Natural Appearance

Each implant restoration is custom-designed to blend with surrounding teeth for a balanced look.

Bone Preservation

When a tooth is lost, the jawbone in that area can begin to shrink over time. Implants stimulate the bone, helping maintain facial structure.

Long-Term Solution

With proper care and regular dental visits, implants can serve as a durable replacement option.

If you are exploring alternatives, we also offer Full & Partial Dentures and Dental Bridges, depending on your needs and preferences.

The Dental Implant Process in South Lake Tahoe

At Sierra Tahoe Dental, implant treatment is carefully planned using detailed diagnostics and modern technology.

Your treatment may include:

1. Comprehensive examination and digital imaging
2. Advanced diagnostics such as 3D CT Scanning when indicated
3. Surgical placement of the implant
4. Healing period to allow the implant to integrate with the jawbone
5. Placement of a custom Dental Crown or implant-supported restoration

For patients who require additional support due to bone loss, procedures such as Bone Grafting may be recommended before implant placement.

If you already have an implant that needs repair or a new crown, we also provide Dental Implant Restoration services.
