Embarking on a journey to rejuvenate your smile with dental implants can be transformative, offering a renewal of your dental aesthetics and a restoration of functionality and self-confidence. At Seaport Family Dental, nestled in the heart of Redwood City, CA, Dr. Steve Deng, DDS, and his team specialize in crafting personalized dental implant solutions that harmonize with your oral health needs and lifestyle aspirations. This comprehensive guide delves into the intricacies of dental implants, helping you navigate your pathway to a complete and radiant smile.
The Essence of Dental Implants
Dental implants stand out as the pinnacle of restorative dentistry, designed to replace missing teeth with an artificial yet remarkably natural-looking counterpart. These implants, composed of titanium post surgically inserted into the jawbone and topped with a custom-crafted crown, promise aesthetic enhancement and unparalleled durability and functionality. Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, implants offer seamless integration with your bone, preventing jawbone deterioration and fostering oral health longevity.
Evaluating Your Candidacy
The journey towards embracing dental implants begins with a thorough evaluation of your dental health and medical history by Dr. Steve Deng. Ideal candidates for dental implants possess:
- Adequate bone density to support the implant
- Good overall health for surgery
- Commitment to maintaining oral hygiene
Patients suffering from conditions like uncontrolled diabetes, severe osteoporosis, or heavy smokers may need to undergo preliminary treatments to improve their eligibility for implants.

The Implant Procedure: A Snapshot
The journey to a complete smile with dental implants unfolds over several stages, each meticulously planned to ensure the best results:
- Initial Consultation: A detailed assessment of your oral health, including X-rays and possibly 3D imaging, to determine your suitability for dental implants.
- Implant Placement: The surgical insertion of the titanium post into the jawbone, followed by a healing period to allow for osseointegration.
- Abutment and Crown Placement: Once healed, an abutment is attached to the post, and finally, the custom-crafted crown is placed, completing your smile transformation.
Life After Dental Implants
The impact of dental implants extends beyond the cosmetic; it’s a reinvestment in your oral health. Implants can last a lifetime with proper care, including regular dental cleanings and diligent home care.
