The procedure, referred to as osseo or biointegration, provides patients with the comfort and assurance of permanent teeth. Many patients find that dental implants restore their self-confidence and self-esteem and improve their quality of life.
Dental implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. After the procedure the patient regains the ability to eat virtually anything and can smile with confidence, knowing that teeth appear natural and that facial contours will be preserved. The implants themselves are titanium posts that are placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. The bone bonds with the titanium or bioceramic surface coating on top of the titanium alloy, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth. In addition, implants can help preserve facial structure, preventing the bone deterioration which occurs when teeth are missing.
Dental implants are a great way to replace missing teeth. Implants also provide excellent support and stability for removable partial or complete dentures when dental appliances are required.
Dental implants are changing the way people live! With them, people are rediscovering the comfort and confidence to eat, speak, laugh and enjoy life.
What does getting dental implants involve?
The process of getting implants requires a number of visits over several months.
X-rays and impressions (molds) are taken of the jaw and teeth to determine bone, gum tissue, and spacing available for an implant. While the area is numb, the implant will be surgically placed into the bone and allowed to heal and integrate itself onto the bone for up to six months. Depending on the type of implant, a second surgery may be required in order to place the “post” that will hold the artificial tooth in place. With other implants the post and anchor are already attached and placed at the same time.
After several weeks of healing, the artificial teeth are made and fitted to the post portion of the anchor. Because several fittings may be required, this step may take one to two months to complete. After a healing period, the artificial teeth are securely attached to the implant, providing excellent stability and comfort to the patient.
You will receive care instructions when your treatment is completed. Good oral hygiene, eating habits, and regular dental visits will aid in the life of your new implant.

About Dental Implants and South San Francisco, California
The City of South San Francisco occupies the basin and portions of the sides of a broad valley formed by the San Bruno Mountains on the north and the Coast Range on the west. Most of the valley faces adjacent San Francisco Bay, affording sweeping vistas, from higher levels and a definite sense of identification with the Bay. South San Francisco has mild winters and dry cool summers. The hills to the west shield the city from much of the fog that prevails in neighboring areas. South San Francisco celebrated its 100th birthday in 2008.
The town of South San Francisco emerged from a portion of the old Rancho Buri Buri, which was provisionally granted by the Mexican Government to Jose Antonio Sanchez in 1827. Charles Lux bought 1,464 acres of Buri Buri land and became a partner of Henry Miller, thus forming the firm of Miller and Lux, Pacific Coast land barons and cattle kings. It was on this property that Charles Lux built his family a beautiful country home. Through his heirs, the Lux Ranch was sold to Peter Iler and became the site of the thriving industrial city.
The site for South San Francisco was selected by G.F. Swift and purchased by Peter Iler of Omaha in 1890 for the establishment of stock- yards and a market place for cattle produced in the area similar to the stockyards in South Omaha. Needing money, they became allied with some Chicago capitalists and formed two joint stock corporations, one named South San Francisco Land and Improvement Company, while the other corporate body was known as Western Meat Company. South San Francisco, “The Industrial City” was incorporated on September 19, 1908. The name for South San Francisco followed the pattern planned by G.F. Swift, whose company had taken over the Western Meat Company, as his other plants were “South Chicago” and “South Omaha”.
