Dental Implants: The Gold Standard for Permanent Tooth Replacement

There’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to replacing missing teeth, but dental implants come remarkably close. Trusted by both patients and dental professionals, implants have become the gold standard for permanent tooth replacement, offering unmatched durability, function, and aesthetics.

At Cerritos Plaza Dentistry, Dr. Jared Wu and our compassionate team ensure every implant procedure is personalized and comfortable, using minimally invasive techniques to restore your smile with confidence.

Why Dental Implants Are Considered the Gold Standard

Unlike traditional bridges or dentures, dental implants are designed to mimic the structure of natural teeth from root to crown. Surgically placed into the jawbone, implants provide a strong, stable foundation and long-lasting results. 

With proper care, they can last decades, even a lifetime. Here’s what makes dental implants stand out from alternative treatments like bridges and dentures:

• Preserve Bone Health: Implants stimulate jawbone tissue, preventing the bone loss that often occurs with tooth loss.
• No Tooth Trimming: Unlike dental bridges, there’s no need to trim down any adjacent teeth when placing an implant.
• Natural Look and Feel: Custom-crafted to match your natural teeth for seamless, confident smiles.
• No Slipping or Clicking: Unlike dentures, implants always stay secure and stable, no adhesives needed.
• Support for Everyday Function: Eat, speak, and smile with ease thanks to the strength of titanium-rooted implants.

A Minimally Invasive and Personalized Approach

At Cerritos Plaza Dentistry, our approach to dental implants is grounded in precision and personalization. Dr. Jared Wu uses advanced imaging and modern surgical planning to ensure each implant is placed with exacting care, all while prioritizing comfort and minimally invasive techniques.

Every step of the way, you’ll be supported by a team that truly cares. From exploring candidacy to post-procedure care, we make the experience approachable and stress-free. Our goal? To help you achieve optimal results with as little disruption as possible to your daily life.

Who’s a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?

Are you wondering if implants are right for you? In many cases, if you’re healthy enough to undergo a routine dental extraction and have sufficient bone in your jaw, you're likely a candidate for this treatment.

Still, each case is unique, which is why we take the time to evaluate your oral and overall health before moving forward. Good candidates for dental implants generally:

• Have one or more missing teeth
• Maintain healthy gums and oral hygiene
• Are free from chronic conditions that impair healing, such as gum disease
• Are non-smokers or willing to quit
• Have a strong enough jawbone for implants, or are willing to get bone grafting as part of treatment

Even if you’ve been told in the past that implants aren’t an option, newer technology and bone grafting solutions may open new doors. Let’s explore what’s possible, together.
