Discover The Advantages Of Dental Implants
- posted: Sep. 17, 2018
If you are concerned about the long-term health and wellness of your teeth after tooth loss, consider the benefits of choosing dental 
implants over dentures. Estimates released by the American Academy of Implant Dentistry say that dental implants help 500,000 patients each year who want a lasting solution after tooth loss. Know the advantages of dental implants so that when you visit your Pasadena, CA dentist Dr. Jerry Johnson for a consultation you can make the right choice for your smile.
How Dental Implants Are Added to Your Smile
Although an implanted tooth has three parts, the actual implant is a tiny titanium or ceramic post. It's designed with ridges and is biocompatible, meaning that it is more likely to merge with your bone tissue. The dentist makes room for the implant and inserts it in the gumline, then adds stitches so that it can safely heal. Through a process called osseointegration, the bone tissue grows and covers the surfaces of the implant. When finished, the implant will be steady enough to hold an abutment and dental crown.
Dental Implants Advantages
Not every patient can tolerate the maintenance and patience required to manage with temporary denture devices on a daily basis—they want a more lasting tooth replacement option. These are some of the advantages of getting dental implants:
- They won't move around or fall out when you're eating or talking.
- You don’t have to remove the implant to soak or clean it—just brush and floss.
- Dental implants promote good oral health and healthy bone tissue.
- You get a stable support for a beautiful, custom-made crown that comfortably fits your smile.
Caring for Your Dental Implant
With help from your Pasadena, CA dentist, you can improve the chances of a successful dental implantation procedure. Follow these simple tips:
- Keep your mouth as clean as possible while the implant is healing.
- Brush and floss religiously to ensure that food doesn’t get lodged around the implant.
- Ask your dentist for a protective mouth device to reduce the chance of grinding and clenching, which can compromise the implant and other teeth.

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. January 25th, 2023
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! December 4th, 2018

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.
