Are Dental Implants Right for You? Here’s What You Need to Know

If you’ve been dealing with missing teeth, you’ve probably heard about dental implants. But how do you know if they’re right for you?

At our Costa Mesa dental office, we see a lot of patients wondering the same thing. Dental implants are a long-lasting, natural-looking solution that can restore not only your smile—but your confidence too.

Why Choose Dental Implants? Unlike bridges or dentures, dental implants actually replace the root of your missing tooth. This helps prevent bone loss in your jaw and keeps your other teeth from shifting. They're strong, stable, and with proper care, they can last a lifetime.

What’s the Process Like? Implants are placed in stages—first the post (or root), then a healing period, and finally the crown. It’s a commitment, but many of our patients say it's completely worth it.

Who’s a Good Candidate? If you're in good health and have enough jawbone, you’re likely a great candidate. Not sure? Schedule a consultation with a local dentist in Costa Mesa, CA (yes, like us!) and we’ll walk you through your options.
