What is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant is a titanium post surgically inserted into the jawbone, replacing a missing tooth root. At Stockton Comfort Dental, we custom-design crowns that seamlessly blend with your natural teeth, providing a permanent and secure tooth replacement. Dental implants are the gold standard in modern restorative dentistry due to their durability and natural appearance.

  • Have sufficient jawbone density to support an implant.
  • Maintain healthy gums and good oral hygiene habits.
  • Do not smoke or are willing to quit during the healing process.

The Dental Implant Process

  1. Consultation & Exam: Dr. Katireddy performs a comprehensive dental exam and digital imaging to assess your bone structure and oral health.
  2. Customized Treatment Plan: We create a personalized plan based on your smile goals and oral health needs.
  3. Surgical Implant Placement: The titanium post is precisely placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia for a pain-free experience.
  4. Healing & Abutment Placement: After healing (3-6 months), we attach an abutment, which will hold your new tooth securely.
  5. Final Restoration: A custom-made crown is placed, restoring your smile to full function and beauty.
