Dental Implants Mountain View

Dental Implants are a proven solution for people who have lost one or more teeth due to periodontal disease, trauma or injury, or any other reason. They are one of the most predictable and conservative way of replacing missing teeth with the best long term success. Implants are basically artificial tooth roots that are placed into the jaw bone and are used to support the teeth/crowns. While Mountain View Periodontist Dr. Timothy Wu surgically places the manufactured post that creates the stable foundation for your new tooth, the final natural looking tooth restoration will be placed by your general dentist. Dental Implants look, feel and function like natural teeth and can last a lifetime if they are properly cared for. Dental implants are intimately connected with the gum tissues and underlying bone in the mouth. As a periodontist who specializes in precisely these areas, Mountain View Periodontist Timothy Wu, D.D.S. has the special knowledge, training and facilities that you need, to have teeth that look and feel just like your own.
