About Dental Implants in Foster City, CA

Dental implants provide an answer for many patients who have missing or broken teeth. As a complete tooth replacement option, dental implants are a permanent solution that can replace a single tooth or multiple teeth. Dr. Yang and Dr. Lee can design a dental implant treatment plan just for you.

Visit our Dental Implants FAQ section to learn more.

During your procedure, your oral surgeon surgically places the dental implant into the jaw bone, and the implant fuses with the surrounding bone through a process called osseointegration. Although the surgical procedure to place dental implants can take as little as half an hour for a single implant, osseointegration can take several months to fuse completely.

Dr. Yang and Dr. Lee of Foster City Oral Surgery Specialists make every effort to ensure their patients feel safe, comfortable, and informed. As oral and maxillofacial surgeons, Dr. Yang and Dr. Lee specialize in restoring their patients’ smiles with implant-based tooth restorations.

Dental Implant FAQ

AM I A CANDIDATE FOR DENTAL IMPLANTS?

Many patients who are not candidates for other tooth replacement options may be candidates for dental implants. In general, patients who are in good enough health to undergo a minor dental procedure, such as tooth extraction, are healthy enough to receive dental implants. A bone grafting procedure may be necessary before receiving dental implants for some patients. Visit our Bone Grafting page to learn more.

HOW DO I CARE FOR MY DENTAL IMPLANTS?

With the right care, your dental implants have the potential to last a lifetime. Make sure to take care of them just like natural teeth: brush, floss, and see your dentist for regular checkups.

HOW LONG IS THE RECOVERY PERIOD?

Due to your specific condition and customized treatment plan, your recovery period is unique to you. The average time for the titanium implant to integrate with the jaw bone is from 3 to 6 months. Many factors, including age, jaw bone health, lifestyle, and more, affect overall healing and recovery time.

HOW MUCH DO DENTAL IMPLANTS COST?

Dental implants are considered a permanent tooth replacement solution and have the potential to last a lifetime. As such, they tend to cost more than other tooth replacement options.
