Restore Your Smile with Confidence Permanent, natural-looking tooth replacement designed to restore comfort, function, and confidence.
Missing teeth can significantly affect your quality of life beyond appearance. They can alter how you eat and speak, how you feel about your smile, and how confident you are. At Fontana Dental Associates, we provide dental implants that restore oral functions and comfort, as well as confidence, with a long-lasting and natural solution.
Dental implants let you complete your smile by giving you a reliable foundation, whether you are missing one tooth, several teeth, or want a more stable solution than removable dentures.
Dental implants are a replacement for missing tooth roots. They consist of tiny titanium posts that get surgically inserted into the jawbone. Over time, the bone fuses with the implant, giving it a strong and stable base that can be topped with a crown, bridge, or denture.
Unlike other traditional tooth replacement options, dental implants act like natural teeth. They are strong, stable, and durable, and preserve the health of your jawbone.
Dental implants can be used to replace:
Aside from appearance, dental implants offer several other benefits, which is why they are considered one of the most effective tooth replacement solutions.
Stability and Comfort
Unlike dentures or other options, which can slip or shift, dental implants are anchored in the jaw bone, allowing for confident eating, speaking, and smiling.
Natural Look and Feel
Implants are artificial teeth made to look and function like your own, so your smile can look completely authentic.
Jawbone Preservation
When a tooth is lost, the jawbone can begin to shrink over time. Dental implants help stimulate the bone, preserving facial structure and oral health.
Long-Term Solution
With proper care, implants are designed to last for many years, making them a reliable long-term investment in your smile.
Types of Dental Implant Solutions
While dental implants are often similar, they can also be tailored to address specific needs. At our Fontana dental office, we provide such custom dental implants.
Single-Tooth Dental Implants
A single implant replaces one missing tooth, without any alterations to surrounding teeth. This option restores function, while also having a natural appearance.
Implant-Supported Bridges
For patients missing several teeth in a row, implant-supported bridges provide sufficient strength and stability, without needing adjacent natural teeth for support.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures provide a secure alternative to traditional removable dentures. They reduce movement, improve comfort, and enhance chewing ability.
To achieve successful dental implant treatments, a detail-oriented process must be developed and implemented to try and achieve a positive end result.
Consultation and Evaluation
The first part of your implant process begins with an evaluation of your oral health, treatment objectives, and jawbone condition. Digital imaging will be utilized to assess and aid an accurate evaluation.
Placement of the Implant
The implant is surgically inserted into the jawbone; this acts as an initial base for your new tooth or teeth.
Healing and Integration
The process of osseointegration must happen for the implant to fuse and become a part of the jawbone. Long-term stability of the implant relies on this process.
Final Restoration
Once the healing is complete, an implantable tooth will be inserted to complete your smile and restore functionality.
Dental implant treatment is a carefully planned process designed to ensure long-term success.
Consultation and Evaluation
Your journey begins with a comprehensive evaluation of your oral health, jawbone condition, and treatment goals. Digital imaging may be used to support accurate planning.
Implant Placement
The implant is placed into the jawbone during a surgical procedure. This creates the foundation for your new tooth or teeth.
Healing and Integration
Over time, the implant integrates with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration. This step is essential for long-term stability.
Final Restoration
Once healing is complete, a custom restoration is placed to complete your smile and restore full function.

Dr Celina is kind, gentle, warm, and welcoming. It is evident that she values patient care with the way she explains and communicates what she is seeing based on what I shared or what she observes during her examination. Going to the dentist is scary, but Dr Celina makes the experience comfortable and less scary. I cannot thank her enough!

There are not enough words to describe my husband & my experiences with this wonderful group of skilled professionals. My sweetheart will cowboy through whatever pain or difficulty. We appreciated their dedication to ensuring a good fit for his new appliances. For myself, let’s just say I’m the oldest baby you’ve ever seen. Terrified of the thought of going to the dentist… until we discovered this jewel of Dentistry. Pain was minimal and the care was kind & thoughtful. Even the paperwork was handled simply & professionally. In my 70+ years I have never had such a good dental experience. I made them promise to always be my dentist, seriously…

Hands down best dental experience ever. Walking in, the receptionists were very kind and I was greeted with such welcome. The atmosphere is very cozy and familial, bringing comfort before a nerve wrecking dental appointment. Dr. Celina was incredible at her job, being very thorough with procedures. She has such gentle hands, I was genuinely scared I was going to fall asleep as she worked on my teeth. Hope to stick to this dentist a lifetime!
