DENTAL IMPLANTS (TOOTH REPLACEMENT)
If you are missing one or more teeth and would like to restore your ability to
smile, speak, or eat with comfort and confidence, then dental implants may be right
for you. Implants are no longer considered experimental. Dental implants are made
from medicaly pure titanium and are substitutes for natural tooth roots. After a
moderate healing period, crowns and/or bridges are attached directly to the implants.
Implants feel and function like the natural teeth. Implants are also used as an alternative
to dentures. Dr. Poulos was one of the first dental surgeons in Santa Clara County
to receive advanced training in implants and provide this service to patients. Due
to differences in bone quality and quantity, the success rate for implants ranges
between 93% for the upper jaw and 98% on the lower jaw. Dr. Poulos has successfully
completed hundreds of implant cases and will coordinate your implant treatment with
your general dentist or prosthodontist.
