Dental Implants – Carlsbad, CA
The Permanent Solution to Tooth Loss
Although dentures and dental bridges can help keep your teeth properly aligned, on their own, they still don’t address a critical aspect of tooth loss: loss of jaw bone density. That’s where dental implants come in. These titanium posts mimic the natural tooth structure so well that the jawbone grows to surround and fuse to them, securing them into place. Then, you can top the dental implants off with any kind of restoration, depending on how many teeth you’re replacing.

Benefits of Dental Implants
Because dental implants replace the entire tooth, they have many advantages over the other tooth replacement options, including the following:
- Longer lifespan . With the proper care, dental implants can last over 30 years!
- Better oral health . Unlike dental bridges, which require reducing and anchoring to healthy teeth, dental implants do not impact the surrounding teeth.
- Natural appearance . Keeping the jaw bone stimulated means that you can keep your youthful facial shape for longer.
- More security . Dentures are notorious for slipping out of position at the worse times. With dental implants, you won’t have to worry while you eat or speak.
- Longer life expectancy . Studies have shown that those who have dentures alone have a shorter life expectancy by 10 years. Combining dental implants and dentures extends it back up to normal.
Indications for Dental Implants
One of the amazing things about dental implants is that they are surprisingly versatile and can be used in every tooth-loss situation. So whether you’re missing just one tooth or all of them, our Carlsbad team can help you find a dental implant solution to help!
Missing One Tooth
For a single lost tooth, a dental crown will be attached to the dental implant and will not negatively impact the surrounding teeth.
Missing Multiple Teeth
Depending on how many and where the missing teeth are, you can use an implant-retained bridge or implant-retained partial denture to address larger gaps in your smile.
Missing All Teeth
In the case of total tooth loss, you don’t need a dental implant for every single tooth in the arch. Rather, with four to six strategically placed dental implants, you can keep your dentures in position and enjoy the same health benefits.

Understanding the Cost of Dental Implants
Many factors contribute to the cost of dental implants. For instance, the location of the implants can influence what kind of implant you need for success. Also, keep in mind that the number of implants you need could differ from the number of teeth you’re replacing, affecting the price tag of your treatment. In order to get an accurate estimate of what dental implants will cost, you need to come in for a consultation with Dr. Addy. He and our team can provide details that are specific to your case.
In the long run, when you factor in the cost of replacing the other tooth replacement options, you may find that dental implants are the wisest financial decision. You won’t know unless you schedule that consultation!
