When patients come to us for a tooth replacement, we recommend dental implants as the best and most advanced replacement method. An implant is composed of a white porcelain crown supported by a titanium post. This post substitutes for the root of the lost tooth.
Because titanium is so compatible with human bone, it forms a tight bond with the bone after placement. When the titanium implant has bonded well with the bone, the white crown is securely attached to the implant. The result is a stable, permanent tooth replacement. With a dental implant, you may forget that you ever lost a tooth.
When you meet with our doctors, they will carefully explain the implant procedure and guide you through each step to ensure you feel comfortable and confident. Implants have the additional benefit of providing stimulation to the jawbone, which keeps it in good health. Care for your new implant is simple, and with proper maintenance, it can last a lifetime. Dental bridges, which are also used to replace missing teeth, do not have this additional benefit.
Because he wanted to provide the best care possible for his patients, Dr. Sengsouvanh focused his studies on oral surgery while training to be a dentist. He is therefore highly qualified to place dental implants and perform surgical tooth extractions. Patients that come from Rancho Murieta and surrounding communities can consult him with confidence.
Dr. Sengsouvanh also maintains a state-of-the-art dental office, with advanced equipment such as 3D-imaging and minimally-invasive laser surgery equipment for faster healing and less discomfort.
Dr. Sengsouvanh will plan and place your dental implants with precise care for the very best results. Finally, there is a method of tooth replacement that looks and feels like a natural tooth.
Regular maintenance of implants is also important. If you are due for maintenance of your implants or you have questions about implants,
