Santa Cruz Dental Care
Call (831) 423-2400
While you may think that replacing one or more missing teeth is only possible with removable dentures, Santa Cruz's Dr. Joseph Valle offers dental implants, which are permanently anchored into the jaw. Implants provide a "fixed" cosmetic dentistry solution to missing teeth that's more comfortable, more natural-looking, and better for chewing than removable alternatives.
Dental implants form a chemical and mechanical bond with your jawbone and become a part of your natural teeth - so much that the jawbone actually grows into the implant! Dr. Valle can analyze your individual situation and determine if your oral tissues are healthy enough and your jawbone is in good enough shape to withstand the implant. If not, he will be happy to recommend another dental makeover solution!
So contact Santa Cruz Dental Care by completing the online form or dialing (831) 423-2400 and make an appointment with Dr. Joseph Valle for dental implants that are a perfect fit and look as good as or even better than your original teeth. Just take a look at these images to see how dental implants can transform a smile, right here in Santa Cruz!
Brush Your Teeth Daily!
For good oral health, brush your teeth twice a day with a good fluoride toothpaste!
How Old Is Your Toothbrush?
Replace your toothbrush every 3 or 4 months, or sooner if the bristles are frayed. A worn toothbrush won't do a good job of cleaning your teeth.
A Healthy Diet Makes a Healthy Smile!
For healthy teeth and gums, eat a balanced diet and limit between-meal snacks. Go easy on sugary treats!
