Losing a tooth is rarely the most fun thing in the world, but the experience can be a little smoother when you work with a dedicated prosthodontist. That’s the field of dentistry that is devoted to creating custom, quality prosthetics to fill those gaps, function well, and give off the outward appearance of a full smile. There’s an advanced option through dental implants, too, and if you are thinking about this route, take some time to talk to a qualified oral surgeon in your area about your needs.
At Santa Rosa Oral Surgery, we understand the assignment. Dr. Leonard Tyko II, DDS, MD and Dr. Jason Rogers, DDS work hard to help people find their way back to a full, functional smile with dental implant placement, using some of the most contemporary tools out there. We’re proud to be able to offer Straumann® dental implants, which use Roxolid® titanium-zirconium alloy to create a connection you can trust. So, when you’re ready to renew your smile after adult tooth loss strikes, give us a call.

How Do Dental Implants Help After Tooth Loss?
It’s one of the very first questions we hear. While patients may have heard about dental implant placement from an advertisement or word around town, they might not have had the chance to figure out how they work. We’re happy to be a real resource here, explaining things in an easily digestible way.
A dental implant is a small, threaded titanium post. When an oral surgeon or other qualified dental health professional places one of these within the bone tissue of the jaw, it offers some opportunity. That’s because the human body doesn’t identify titanium as a threat, and instead, bone grows snugly into the threads of the implant post.
Straumann® Dental Implants Create A Secure Connection
Ceramicists have long been able to craft quality recreations of teeth, but it has historically been tough to attach them to a patient’s jaw. Some traditional prosthodontic options, like dental bridges, use the strength of remaining teeth for support. But with dental implants, there is another way forward.
Straumann® dental implants take the time to do it well, too. Through Roxolid® titanium-zirconium alloy, they offer superior osseointegration. That allows for a strong connection between bone and your new smile.
