The Permanent Solution for Missing Teeth
Missing one or more teeth can affect how you eat, speak, and smile. But it doesn’t have to be permanent. At Legacy Dental Pasadena, we specialize in dental implants, the most advanced and long-lasting way to replace missing teeth. Designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth, implants restore your confidence and protect your long-term oral health.
What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a small titanium post that replaces the root of a missing tooth. It’s surgically placed into the jawbone, where it naturally fuses through a process called osseointegration. Once healed, a custom crown is attached to the implant, creating a restoration that looks completely natural.
Implants can replace:
- A single missing tooth
- Multiple teeth using bridges
- An entire arch with implant-supported dentures or All-on-X systems
Why Choose Dental Implants Over Other Options
While traditional dentures and bridges can restore appearance, they don’t offer the same long-term benefits as implants.
At Legacy Dental Pasadena, patients choose implants because they are:
- Permanent and secure – No slipping, adhesives, or daily removal.
- Bone-preserving – Stimulates jawbone to prevent bone loss.
- Natural-looking – Designed to match your existing teeth perfectly.
- Comfortable and functional – Eat and speak without worry.
- Low-maintenance – Care for them like your natural teeth.
The Dental Implant Process
Your implant journey begins with a comprehensive consultation and 3D CBCT scan to assess your bone structure and determine the best approach.
Here’s what to expect:
- Consultation & Planning – We evaluate your smile and create a custom treatment plan.
- Implant Placement – The titanium post is gently placed into your jawbone using guided precision.
- Healing & Integration – Over the next few months, your implant fuses with the bone for lasting stability.
- Restoration – A beautiful, custom crown or bridge is attached, completing your new smile.
Are Dental Implants Right for You?
Dental implants are ideal for most adults with good oral and general health. You may be a candidate if you:
- Have missing or failing teeth
- Want a permanent, natural-looking replacement
- Have healthy gums and sufficient bone support
- Are seeking an alternative to dentures
Even if you’ve experienced bone loss, procedures like bone grafting or sinus augmentation can often make implants possible.
