Dental Implants in Sunnyvale, CA

Restore Your Smile with Permanent, Natural-Looking Tooth Replacement

Tooth loss can have a lasting impact on your oral health, facial structure, and self-confidence. Whether caused by decay, trauma, or gum disease, missing teeth affect more than just appearance—they compromise how you speak, chew, and interact socially.

At Harmony Smile Dental, we offer high-quality dental implants to restore your smile's function, aesthetics, and long-term stability. Under the skilled care of Dr. Ryan Zhao, our team delivers implant treatment with precision and compassion, using advanced dental technology to ensure a comfortable and successful experience.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are small titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. Once healed, the implant supports a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture—mimicking the look and function of natural teeth.

Unlike other options such as dental bridges, implants are anchored directly to the jawbone, which helps preserve bone density and prevent shifting of nearby teeth.

Benefits of Choosing Dental Implants

Dental implants are considered the gold standard in modern tooth replacement because they:

• Look and function like real teeth
• Prevent bone loss and facial sagging
• Provide stable support for crowns, bridges, or dentures
• Do not rely on adjacent teeth for support
• Are long-lasting and low-maintenance with proper care

Patients who previously relied on removable appliances or had difficulty with ill-fitting dentures often find renewed confidence with dental implants.

Our Implant Process at Harmony Smile Dental

We approach implant dentistry with a strong focus on planning and patient-centered care. Dr. Zhao carefully evaluates your bone health, gum condition, and medical history to determine candidacy for implants.

Step 1: Consultation & Imaging

Using advanced dental technology, we perform 3D scans to assess bone density and identify ideal implant placement sites.

Step 2: Implant Placement

The titanium implant is placed into the jawbone during a minor surgical procedure. Over the next few months, the implant naturally fuses with the bone in a process called osseointegration.

Step 3: Restoration

Once healed, a custom crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the implant, restoring your bite and smile aesthetics. If needed, we may recommend preparatory services such as tooth extractions prior to placement.

Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?

You may be eligible for dental implants if you:

• Are missing one or more teeth
• Have sufficient bone density or are willing to undergo grafting
• Do not smoke or are willing to quit during treatment
• Are free from active gum disease
• Want a long-term, fixed solution for tooth loss

If dental implants aren’t right for you, we may recommend alternative restorative treatments like inlays & onlays or dental crowns.

Dental Implants for Seniors and Adults

At Harmony Smile Dental, we proudly serve patients of all ages—including older adults seeking a permanent replacement for lost teeth. Whether you're replacing a single tooth or transitioning from dentures, implants can offer a life-changing upgrade in comfort and stability.

If you're over 50 and unsure whether dental implants are right for you, Dr. Zhao can evaluate your case with honesty and care during your initial consultation.
