Missing teeth can affect your confidence, chewing ability, and long‑term oral health. At Ramlaoui DDS in San Jose, we specialize in dental implants—the most stable, natural‑feeling solution for single or multiple tooth replacement.

What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is a small titanium post surgically anchored into your jawbone to mimic the root of a natural tooth. Once fully integrated, it supports a custom‑made restoration (crown, bridge, or denture) that looks, feels, and functions like your own tooth.

Why Choose Implants Over Other Options?

• Bone Preservation: Stimulates the jawbone, preventing the shrinkage that occurs after tooth loss.
  
• Exceptional Stability: No slipping or shifting—unlike traditional dentures.
  
• Natural Appearance & Function: Restorations match your teeth in color, shape, and strength.
  
• Long‑Term Value: With proper care, implants can last a lifetime—making them cost‑effective over years.
  
• Protect Adjacent Teeth: Unlike bridges, implants don’t require grinding down neighboring teeth.
  

Is a Dental Implant Right for You?

Ideal candidates:

• Are in good general health
  
• Have sufficient jawbone density (or qualify for bone grafting)
  
• Maintain good oral hygiene habits
  
• Do not have uncontrolled chronic conditions (e.g., diabetes)
  
• Are non‑smokers or willing to quit during healing
  

Not sure? We’ll assess your medical and dental history plus 3D imaging to confirm candidacy.
