Professional Dental Implant Treatments for Damaged and Missing Teeth
The Best Dental Implants in Bakersfield
Our dental implants restore missing teeth with replacements that look like natural teeth
Dental implants are a dental treatment option to replace damaged or missing teeth. Replacing a missing tooth with an artificial tooth is important for your oral health. One or multiple missing teeth will cause your remaining teeth to shift as you develop bone loss. When this happens, patients experience worsened chewing ability, speech, bite, and general discomfort.
A dental implant uses a small titanium screw as a replacement for the root of your tooth, and a crown on top. Our team has advanced training to get your beautiful smile back.
Implant dentistry may sound intimidating, but it is actually a standard dental procedure in modern dentistry. The titanium fuses with your bone through osseointegration and becomes an anchor. After healing has occurred, an abutment is placed. Then, your natural colored crown will bond in place for a beautiful new tooth.
If you are considering implant dentistry as a natural tooth replacement solution, give us a call to schedule a no-obligation consultation where we can go over all of your options and answer any questions you may have.

Are Dental Implants Right For You?
Replacing missing teeth to restore your smile is attainable for everyone.
Our dental implant specialists put together treatment plans to get you the best results.
There are different ways to restore natural teeth, but not many ways to restore bone density and regain oral function. Dr Salin helps you evaluate your options with a professional exam and consultation. Your initial visit includes an evaluation of your oral health (including bone density and facial structure) to determine if dental implants are the best route to regain a healthy smile and regain full oral function.
Some patients might not qualify for dental implants if they lack the bone mass necessary to support them. Denture implants are securely implanted into the jaw bone and a more comfortable option than using traditional dentures or undergoing a full-mouth dental implant procedure. Mini dental implants are also an option and mainly an alternative for requiring bone grafting before implanting. Talking to our dentist and periodontal specialist will help you find a solution to your dental health and concerns.
There are many benefits to dental implants in addition to the aesthetic features and their resemblance to natural teeth. Top reasons reasons for getting dental implants include:
Preventing bone loss
Long-lasting tooth replacement
Implants do not decay
Missing multiple teeth
No need for dentures or bridges
