Tri-City Dental Care of Cerritos
Single
Implants
Single dental implants replace a single missing tooth with a strong, natural-looking restoration. A titanium post is placed in your jawbone, acting as an artificial tooth root to support a custom crown.
Unlike traditional bridges, a dental implant preserves surrounding teeth since no alteration is needed. The result is a seamless, long-lasting replacement that restores both function and appearance.
Implant
Bridges
Implant bridges are an excellent solution for replacing multiple missing teeth in a row. Instead of relying on natural teeth for support, the bridge is anchored by dental implants placed in your jawbone.
This provides greater stability and helps prevent strain on surrounding teeth and gum recession around the bridge. Implant bridges restore chewing ability, maintain alignment, and deliver a natural-looking smile.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Full-Mouth Dental Implants
If you’re missing most or all of your teeth, full-mouth dental implants provide permanent tooth replacement in Cerritos, CA. Four or more implants are placed to support a full arch of fixed teeth or to restore both upper and lower smiles when needed.
