They look natural, last decades, and restore confidence—but are dental implants the right choice for you?
If you’re missing one or more teeth, you’ve probably heard about dental implants as a potential solution. But are they worth the investment? Are they better than bridges or dentures? At All About Smile Dental Group, we help patients in Chino, Encino, and Rancho Cucamonga decide if implants are the best fit for their smile—and their lifestyle.
What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a small titanium post that’s surgically placed into the jawbone to act as a replacement tooth root. It’s topped with a custom-made crown that looks and feels just like a natural tooth.
Implants can be used for:
- Single-tooth replacement
- Multi-tooth bridges
- Full-arch restorations with implant-supported dentures
“Dental implants don’t just fill a gap—they rebuild your bite, preserve your jawbone, and give you your smile back.”
Top Benefits of Dental Implants
-
They Look & Feel Natural
Implants are custom-shaped to match your surrounding teeth, offering seamless aesthetics and comfort. -
They Preserve Your Jawbone
Unlike dentures or bridges, implants stimulate bone tissue, preventing bone loss and facial sagging. -
They Last a Long Time
With proper care, implants can last 15+ years, and often much longer. -
You Can Eat What You Love
No slipping dentures or chewing limitations—implants function like real teeth.
Are You a Candidate?
You may be a good candidate for implants if you:
- Have one or more missing teeth
- Have healthy gums and sufficient jawbone density
- Don’t smoke or have uncontrolled health conditions
- Are looking for a long-term solution
If you’re not quite there, bone grafting or gum therapy may help you qualify.
What About the Cost?
Yes, implants are more expensive than dentures or bridges upfront—but they require less maintenance, reduce future dental problems, and offer more natural function over time.
“According to the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, dental implants have a 98% success rate when placed by trained professionals.”
Conclusion
Dental implants offer a permanent, functional, and beautiful way to replace missing teeth. At All About Smile Dental Group, we walk you through the entire process—from evaluation to restoration—so you can feel confident in your care and your smile.
