What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are permanent tooth replacements designed to restore missing teeth with unmatched strength, function, and aesthetics. They are often the best solution when a natural tooth is lost due to decay, injury, or gum disease, providing a stable foundation that looks, feels, and functions like a real tooth.

Dental implants also play a critical role in preserving oral health by preventing jawbone loss after tooth loss. To optimize bone preservation and treatment efficiency, Dr. Pries uses advanced 3D CBCT imaging and surgical planning software, allowing for precise placement and a streamlined implant process. At Pries Dental Care, a dental implant consists of a titanium post placed into the jawbone, an abutment secured to the post, and a lifelike ceramic crown custom-crafted in our office using state-of-the-art CEREC technology. Dr. Gus Pries has provided implant care for decades, helping patients achieve long-lasting, natural-looking results from the best dental implants in West San Jose.
