Dental implants are the natural-looking replacement solution to one or more missing teeth. Since implants are permanently anchored into the jawbone, this "fixed" cosmetic dentistry solution offered by Santa Cruz's Joseph Valle, D.D.S. allows for better chewing than removable dentures.
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!
These images show the dramatic impact dental implants can make on nearly any smile, even right here in Santa Cruz. Implants are a perfect fit and look as good - if not better - than your original teeth! Just contact Santa Cruz Dental Care via the online appointment form or by calling (831) 423-2400 to schedule a consultation with Dr. Valle today!
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!
