Implants

Dental implants are a time-tested treatment that allows for replacement of missing teeth that have been lost due to decay, fracture, or gum disease. A dental implant is a biocompatible, man-made substitute to replace missing tooth roots and is made of specialized titanium. Dental implants come in various shapes and sizes to fit most tooth replacement applications. Most are cylinders placed into bone and allowed to heal undisturbed while bone heals around them, locking them in like an anchor. After a short period of time, the implants are used as a foundation for replacing the missing teeth. At Sage Dental, we provide top-quality dental implants, delivering durable and natural-looking results to restore your smile.

Dental Implant Procedure and How It Works

Because of their design and proven efficacy, dental implants provide distinct advantages over other procedures.

  1. There is no trimming of perfectly healthy teeth, as in the case of a bridge used to replace a missing tooth.
    ‍
  2. Dental implants can help stabilize and retain a denture, especially the full lower denture. In this regard, mini-implants are a very cost-effective way to hold the lower denture in place so that chewing and speaking are more effective.
    ‍
  3. When several teeth have been lost, they can anchor longer bridges or partial dentures.
    ‍
  4. With proper placement, good hygiene habits, and a sound medical history, implants can often outlast conventional bridges, and are more functionally efficient than dentures.
    ‍
  5. Dental implants have become the first choice of Sage Dental to regain the “natural” look and feel of having your own teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do dental implants cost in San Jose?

A single dental implant typically ranges from $3,000 to $5,000, depending on factors like bone health and whether a bone graft is needed. We provide personalized cost estimates during your consultation, and financing options are available.

Are dental implants painful?

Implant placement is performed under local anesthesia, so patients feel little to no pain during the procedure. Mild soreness or swelling for a few days afterward is normal and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.

How long do dental implants last?

With proper care, including regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups, dental implants can last 20 years or more, and many patients keep them for life.

Am I a good candidate for dental implants?

Most healthy adults with sufficient jawbone density are good candidates. Conditions like uncontrolled diabetes or significant bone loss may require additional treatment first, and we'll evaluate your candidacy with a comprehensive exam and imaging.
