Permanent Solutions for Missing Teeth

Just because you lose a tooth doesn’t mean you’re doomed forever to an embarrassing smile or difficulty chewing. Dental implants are a practical and permanent solution that our team can provide by surgically placing an anchor for a replacement tooth.

At Periodontics of the Desert – Palm Desert, CA, dental implants happen in three phases:

1. A skilled periodontist places the post into the jawbone
2. The area heals and undergoes osseointegration, which means it combines with the bone to create a solid foundation.
3. An artificial tooth is placed securely onto the implant.
