Are You a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?
- posted: Oct. 30, 2018
Considering dental implants? Dental implants are small metal posts that are inserted into the bone in order to replace teeth and transform your smile. Dr. Jerry Johnson's dental practice is one of the top dentistries in Pasadena, CA, and here we offer state-of-the-art dental implants to our patients. The following information will help you determine if you're a viable candidate for our implants.
1. You have missing teeth.
Missing teeth can ruin a nice smile and make people appear older than they really are. Dental implants can restore your smile, improve your appearance, and take years off of your look. Looking one's best is an advantage in today's world, and that's why millions of people worldwide are getting dental implants to improve their appearance.
2. You have eating problems.
The absence of teeth can keep you from enjoying the foods you love as is difficult to chew food properly when you have missing teeth. Dental implants can give you the ability to chew your favorite foods again in comfort and with confidence.
3. You have healthy gums.
If you have healthy gums, you may be a candidate for dental implants. Dental implants are intimately connected with the gum tissues in the mouth. Gum disease is an infection that damages gums and can destroy the jawbone. The best candidates for dental implants have healthy gums that are free of gum disease.
4. You have good bone density.
If you have good bone density at the implant site, you may be a viable candidate for dental implants. Low bone density is a barrier to dental implants. You need a sufficient amount of bone in order to support dental implants. If your bone isn't thick enough, you may require a bone graft before you can undergo dental implant surgery.
5. You're in good health.
If you're healthy enough to have teeth pulled, you're probably healthy enough to have dental implant surgery. In contrast, some individuals with chronic illnesses may not be viable candidates for dental implants. A chronic illness, such as diabetes or leukemia, may interfere with healing after dental implant surgery.

I'm so glad that I found this dentist! He and his staff are the nicest, kindest, and professional people! The main reasons are that they are honest and fair. I feel like I'm going to see family when I go there. Dr. Johnson and his team always treat you with care. They are very gentle, because I'm sure that they are cognizant of the fact that most people are very frightened to see a dentist and get their teeth cleaned or treated. Great people-highly recommended!

Dr. Johnson and his staff worked with me when I had a recent dental emergency. He was able to work me into his schedule and diagnose my cracked tooth and provide temporary relief from the pain. I am extremely happy with my new crown and feel that Dr. Johnson did an amazing job.

I wouldn't go anywhere else! I have a phobia of dentists and had stayed away from any for 5-6 years until I found Doctor Johnson. He worked with me and seemed to understand my fear. With a genetic tendency for gum problems, he has done everything to help encourage me to improve my dental health. Even when I went to grad school and had access to the low-cost university dentist, I chose to have Dr Johnson do my dental work. 5 stars all the way.

Dr. Johnson is a high-quality dentist who takes the time to explain any procedure you need to have done, which greatly puts you at ease. I recently broke off a piece of one of my back molars while eating at a restaurant. I called his office and Dr. Johnson was able to see me right away and fit me in to his schedule. I ended up needing a crown and couldn't be happier with the results. Thank you, Dr. Johnson!
I have been going to Dr. Johnson's office for a number of years and I cannot recommend them enough. The staff is knowledgeable, courteous and always friendly - there is a caring, personal touch here that you do not find with all Dental Offices.
From the moment you arrive you are greeted with a smile and a warm demeanor by Mary at the front desk, and that feeling continues through the rest of your visit. Dr. Johnson always takes the time to explain any necessary procedures and offers advice & tips on ways that I can improve my teeth in advance of the next visit.

I know that often people don't usually enjoy going to the dentist, which is why I have told referred so many people to Dr. Johnson - here you really feel like you are part of the family.

Best Dentist In the World!!!!!!
My wife has been going to Dr. Johnson for quite some time now and she introduced me to him about 12 years ago. I have never felt so comfortable with a dentist as I have with Dr. Johnson. I have had a lot of work done by Dr. Johnson and have never felt any pain... AT ALL! If you are afraid of going to the dentist because of the pain, you need not fear Dr. Johnson. He is easy going and patient and does not try to sell you anything you don't need. Another thing that makes his office great is, he is prompt. If your appointment is at 2, then you are in your chair and being worked on at 2. He doesn't over book, which speaks volumes about his care for his patients.

best.dentist.ever.
Jerry Johnson is the best dentist I've ever been to. I used to go to Dental Plus in Pasadena, and although their dentists were very competent, they were always trying to get me to do what I thought were unnecessary procedures (like veneers I didn't want or need). Jerry is the exact opposite of this. He's very laid-back, knowledgeable, and never tries to rip you off. His staff are friendly, polite, and intelligent. I think he already has plenty of patients, but I'd strongly recommend him if you're looking for a dentist in the Pasadena area.
