Dental Implants in Sacramento, CA
Permanent, Natural-Looking Replacement for Missing Teeth
Missing teeth can affect the way you eat, speak, and smile — and over time, they can lead to bone loss and shifting teeth. Dental implants are a long-term solution that replaces the entire tooth, from root to crown, restoring your smile’s function, appearance, and stability.
At Scordakis Family Dental, we work closely with trusted specialists and use custom restorations to help you regain a complete, confident smile that feels like your own.
What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a small titanium post that is placed into the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. Once it fuses with the bone, it can support a custom crown, bridge, or denture.
Implants are designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth — making them one of the most reliable and preferred options for tooth replacement.
You may be a candidate for implants if you:
- Are missing one or more teeth
- Have healthy gums
- Have enough bone to support an implant (or can receive a bone graft)
- Want a stable, non-removable solution
Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants offer advantages that other options often can’t match:
- Stability & Comfort – No slipping or moving like some removable dentures.
- Natural Appearance – Custom crowns are color-matched to blend with your smile.
- Preserved Bone & Facial Structure – Implants stimulate the jawbone, helping prevent bone loss.
- No Impact on Neighboring Teeth – Unlike traditional bridges, healthy adjacent teeth usually don’t need to be altered.
- Long-Term Value – With proper care, implants can last for many years.
Benefits of Dental Bridges
- Restore a natural-looking smile
- Improve chewing and speaking
- Prevent teeth from shifting or becoming misaligned
- Maintain proper bite alignment
- Provide a long-lasting, functional tooth replacement
- Boost confidence and overall oral health
With proper care — good oral hygiene and routine checkups — bridges can last many years.
The Dental Implant Process
Consultation & Planning
Our dentists will evaluate your mouth, review your medical and dental history, and discuss whether implants are the right choice for you. Imaging may be taken to assess bone levels and plan placement.
Implant Placement
A specialist or surgeon places the titanium implant post into the jawbone. Over the next few months, the bone gradually fuses to the implant in a process called osseointegration.
Abutment & Restoration
Once healing is complete, a small connector called an abutment is attached to the implant. We then place a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture on top to complete your restoration.
Throughout the process, our team coordinates your care, explains each step, and ensures your final result looks natural and feels comfortable.
Why Patients Choose Dental Implants
Dental implants offer the closest feel to natural teeth — restoring your bite, your confidence, and the comfort you may have missed. Because they’re secure, long-lasting, and look incredibly natural, implants allow you to eat, smile, and live without worry. It’s a solution that not only replaces missing teeth, but restores your quality of life.

Have questions? We’ve got answers. Check out our frequently asked questions to find the information you need, or contact us if you need further assistance.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, dental implants can last for many years, making them one of the most durable tooth replacement options.
Is getting a dental implant painful?
The implant placement is performed with local anesthesia, and most patients report minimal discomfort. Mild soreness afterward is normal and temporary.
Am I a good candidate for dental implants?
Most patients with healthy gums and sufficient bone are good candidates. If needed, bone grafting can help prepare the area for an implant.
How long does the dental implant process take?
The full treatment can take several months, allowing the implant to fuse with the bone before placing the final restoration. The result is a stronger, more stable tooth replacement.
Do implants look and feel natural?
Yes. Implants mimic natural tooth roots and support custom-made crowns that look, feel, and function just like real teeth.
