Revitalize Your Smile: Implant Options
The absence of teeth can profoundly impact your self-esteem and oral well-being, affecting more than just your looks.
At BioDent Smile in San Diego, we recognize the challenges that tooth loss brings—from trouble enjoying your favorite meals
to feeling uneasy in social interactions. Our dental implant services provide a lasting remedy that mimics the appearance,
sensation, and functionality of your own teeth.
We offer both traditional implant solutions and ceramic dental implants—an aesthetic, metal-free option made from zirconia—
so you can choose the approach that best aligns with your health goals, smile design, and long-term comfort.
Why Replace Missing Teeth?
When a tooth is lost, it affects more than just your smile. Missing teeth can contribute to changes in function, comfort,
and facial structure over time. Common concerns include:
- Bone loss in the jaw
- Shifting and misalignment of surrounding teeth
- Increased risk of TMJ discomfort and bite imbalance
- Changes to facial appearance and premature “sunken” look
- Difficulty chewing and speaking
Dental implants replace the root structure of the missing tooth, helping support bone health and restore harmony to your smile.
Reasons to Consider Dental Implants for Tooth Replacement
Dental implants establish a robust base in contrast to removable dentures or bridges. The implant post integrates with your
jawbone via a natural process known as osseointegration, forming a foundation that can endure for decades with appropriate care.
Unlike conventional bridges that necessitate the alteration of healthy neighboring teeth, implants safeguard your existing dental
structure. This methodology helps maintain facial bone density and can help avert a sunken look following tooth loss.
- Savor your favorite dishes without the anxiety of slippage or discomfort.
- Communicate naturally without the whistling noises that dentures may create.
- Maintain your regular brushing and flossing habits without special cleaning protocols.
Ceramic Dental Implants: A Natural, Metal-Free Alternative
For patients seeking a metal-free option, we also offer ceramic dental implants made from zirconia. Zirconia is known for its
strength, natural appearance, and biocompatibility. Once restored with a custom crown, ceramic implants look, feel, and function
like natural teeth—while blending beautifully with surrounding enamel.
- 100% metal-free and biocompatible
- Natural appearance—designed to blend with surrounding teeth
- Helps support jawbone health and facial structure
- Improves chewing, speech, and confidence
- Long-lasting durability with proper care
- Designed with whole-body wellness in mind
Your Implant Experience
Our dentist and team begins with comprehensive imaging to evaluate your bone density, overall oral health, and bite alignment.
From there, we develop an accurate implant placement strategy and discuss which implant material is the best fit for your goals—
including ceramic (zirconia) implants for patients who prefer a metal-free approach.
What to Expect with Implant Treatment
- Implant Placement – A small implant post (zirconia or titanium, depending on your treatment plan) is placed into the jawbone during a minimally invasive procedure.
- Healing & Integration – Over the following months (often three to six), the implant fuses with your bone, creating a strong foundation.
- Custom Restoration – Once healed, a custom crown, bridge, or implant-supported denture is placed—designed to match your smile naturally and beautifully.
Most patients report minimal discomfort and are able to return to their daily routines within a day or two after placement.
Throughout your journey, our dedicated team ensures you are well-informed at each stage and comfortable with the entire procedure.
