For some, the idea of a metered, step-by-step approach to a big shift is wonderful. You don’t even have to worry about what’s at the end of the journey because it’s there! What’s not to love about this? For others, that whole “take it one step at a time and you’ll see results later on” is a big disaster. It causes anxiety because there’s too much unknown. With that said, if you’re considering dental implants but you really don’t love the “start with step one of many” approach, then starting at the end and working your way backwards? Well, our Santa Rosa, CA team thinks that’s probably going work much better for you!
What Wisdom Teeth Removal Helps You Avoid

Allow our Santa Rosa, CA team to help you understand the stuff you get to avoid when you say goodbye to these (totally unnecessary) teeth.

What Makes Tooth Replacement With Implants So Stable?
It’s the one word you hear over and over that makes you feel more and more excited about dental implant support: Stable. You hear that there’s nothing quite as stable as implants. You know that if you go the traditional route for your tooth replacements, you may be looking at a complete smile that isn’t going to necessarily offer you the certainty that you want. However, as for what exactly makes choosing implants such a rock solid solution for your grin, leaving you with immovable teeth, and easy daily function, as well as confidence … well, it’s a bit of a mystery. Today, the mystery is solved, as you learn more with our Rohnert Park, CA team!
Implants: Why The Idea Of Replacing Multiple Teeth Alarms You
When it comes to replacing a single tooth with a dental implant and a crown, this may sound like a wonderful idea to you. Yes, it includes the surgical placement of an implant into your jaw tissue, a period of healing, some longer-term waiting, and then the final restoration of that implant. In the meantime, you figure, you’ll use your other teeth to chew and you’ll have a complete smile before you know it! However, when you’re considering replacing multiple teeth with implants, you may feel alarmed instead of relaxed. Of course, our Santa Rosa, CA team can understand why and we can also reassure you, so you can follow through with implants without worry!
Will Implants Make Me Happier?
Of course, it’s very easy to give into the temptation to assume something will make you happy if only you could attain it. If only you could have that beautiful car, that exceptional sweater, that new piece of technology! However, you may feel hesitant to ever assume you might feel more content from a material item because true happiness comes from within, right? Well, that’s true. However, when it comes to feeling more satisfied as a result of replacing missing teeth, we remind you that selecting dental implants is about quite a lot more than simply the dental work itself. It’s all about how it impacts your emotional well being, your daily quality of living, and more! So, our Santa Rosa, CA team encourages you to consider how additional happiness just might spring forth from selecting implants with us!
Implants: Why You Need Such Personalized Care
