Dental Implants
Losing a tooth can be traumatic, leaving you with an incomplete smile, dental misalignment, and lower self-esteem.
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that replace missing teeth from top to bottom, restoring your bite and boosting your confidence.
Need to replace a missing tooth? At Perfect Smiles California in Chula Vista, CA, we can walk you through the benefits of implant treatment.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
Prevent Bone Loss
Losing a tooth can affect your facial appearance, speech, and ability to eat certain foods. Left untreated, tooth loss can also cause your jawbone to shrink. Dental implants are the only treatment designed to stop jawbone recession, protecting your oral health and helping you maintain a strong jawbone and youthful facial structure.
Stabilize Your Dentures
Dental implants can be used to attach dental crowns, dental bridges, and dentures directly to the jawbone. If you've worn traditional dentures, you are aware of the potential downsides, including messy adhesives, embarrassing noises, and unwanted movements. Implant-supported dentures are attached directly to the jawbone, reducing the risk of denture mishaps and giving you a stronger bite.
Enjoy Long-Lasting Benefits
At some point, your dental crown, bridgework, or dentures will need to be replaced. Your implants, however, can last several decades without needing to be repaired or replaced. Our dentists, Dr. David Garate and Dr. Myriam V. Falcon, use 3-D planning to improve surgical outcomes, ensure a high success rate, and deliver long-lasting results.

Types of Implant Treatments Available
An implant-supported crown consists of three parts: a titanium implant, an abutment, and a custom tooth crown. Implant-supported crowns are a good option for patients with just a single missing tooth.
An implant-supported bridge is also made up of three parts: at least two titanium implants, abutments, and a custom dental bridge. A dental bridge is a set of artificial teeth that is appropriate for patients with localized tooth loss.
Implant-supported dentures are made up of a series of titanium implants, abutments, and custom-crafted dentures. If you are missing most or all of your teeth, implant-supported dentures may be the best option.

This is truly the BEST dentist I have ever been to! All of the staff are extremely friendly and really make you feel welcome. I needed a dental implant and was extremely nervous about it. Dr Garate made me feel very comfortable and even went out of his way to show me other patients testimonials after their procedures which really made me feel even more comfortable about having the procedure done. The procedure was not as bad as I expected and went very smooth...

I started with Dr Garate due to a tooth that needed to be extracted. Dr Garate recommended that I get an implant. He gave me all the reasons why and I was able to make an informed decision. There was no pressure; and after discussing it with my husband and meeting with Dr Garate one last time, I choose to have the implant. The procedure and recovery went extremely well. I would highly recommend Dr Garate as a dentist...
