Implant Dentistry

An implant candidate must have good oral and overall health, as well as enough bone in the jaw to support the implant. Implant patients must be willing to commit to conscientious oral hygiene. Implants require proper brushing, flossing and regular professional dental care.

Dentures may seem like the go-to approach for missing teeth. But over time, a jawbone lacking natural teeth will start to shrink. Dentures will begin to slide, irritating gums. We now have the ability to use dental implants to help hold your dentures in place or even permanently stabilize a denture in your mouth.

If you’re looking for an effective and long-lasting solution to missing teeth, dental implants may be more beneficial. Our dentists can help you explore both options and help you make the best decision.

A complete examination and X-rays by your dentist will determine if you are a suitable candidate for dental implants. You must commit to a strict schedule of flossing, brushing, rinsing, and check-ups to keep them healthy.

Unlike removable dentures, All-on-X implants are permanently anchored to your jawbone. There’s no slipping, clicking, or need for adhesive. They look, feel, and function more like natural teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Our patients love the added stability and the long-term health benefits of implant-supported restorations.

The “X” simply represents the number of implants needed per arch, which is typically 4, 5, or 6 depending on your bone structure and individual treatment plan. Our experienced team will use advanced imaging to determine the ideal number and placement for optimal support and long-term success.

If you are missing several or all of your teeth in the upper or lower jaw, you may be a great candidate. Good overall health, sufficient jawbone density, and a commitment to oral care are important factors. At Tri City Dental Care of Cerritos, we offer detailed evaluations, including scans and diagnostics, to determine your candidacy and create a customized care plan.

All-on-X uses fewer implants to restore an entire arch, making treatment more efficient, cost-effective, and often less invasive. In many cases, patients leave with a temporary fixed restoration the same day, so they can smile and eat sooner. It’s a transformative option for those seeking a strong, lasting, and beautiful smile with less downtime.
