Dental Implants in El Dorado Hills, CA – Dr. Peliks

‍Why Dental Implants Are the Gold Standard for Tooth Replacement

‍Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, dental implants are anchored directly into the jawbone, making them exceptionally stable and long-lasting. They look, feel, and function just like natural teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. At Dr. Peliks’ El Dorado Hills dental office, implants are often recommended for patients who have lost one or more teeth due to decay, injury, or gum disease. They also protect surrounding teeth from shifting, maintaining proper bite alignment.

‍The Dental Implant Process

‍The implant process typically begins with a thorough examination and digital imaging to determine your candidacy. If you are a good candidate, the titanium implant is surgically placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia. Over the next few months, a process called osseointegration occurs, where the implant fuses with the bone. Once healed, an abutment is attached to the implant, and a custom-made crown is placed on top. Dr. Peliks ensures every implant restoration blends seamlessly with your natural teeth for a beautiful and functional result.

‍Benefits Beyond Tooth Replacement

‍Dental implants offer numerous benefits beyond restoring your smile’s appearance. They help maintain jawbone density, improve oral health by reducing strain on adjacent teeth, and provide unmatched durability—often lasting a lifetime with proper care. Because implants are fixed in place, there’s no slipping or discomfort as can happen with removable dentures. Many patients also find that implants improve their speech clarity and ability to enjoy all their favorite foods.
