Before and After Dental Implants

A great alternative, dental implants look and feel more natural than dentures or partials. Dental Implants do not use support from gums or neighboring teeth. Instead a titanium post or artificial “root” is surgically anchored to the bone. Once the bone and gum around the post has a chance to heal, an artificial tooth is applied on top.

Together Dr. Miller and Dr. Chandra comprise an excellent
in-house dental implant team. Dr Miller will evaluate your general health, gums and bone structure to determine if dental implants are the best alternative for you. Implants may not be a good dental solution for those lacking adequate bone support at the implant site. However, In some cases, additional procedures may be available to increase support at the implant site.

In-house periodontist, Dr. Chandra can perform the initial implant surgery at our Oakland facility or, you may work with another oral surgeon or periodontist. Once your dental implants are healed, Dr. Miller will use his cosmetic artistry to create a natural looking crown (artificial or false tooth) to complete your new smile.
