Rebuild Your Smile with Dental Implants
- posted: May 02, 2019
Nothing is quite like a natural tooth—however, if tooth loss occurs, Dr. Jerry Johnson in Pasadena, CA, offers his patients the next best 
thing: dental implants. Sturdy, realistic, and bone-building, dental implants remake smiles for lifelong beauty and function!
What is a dental implant?
It is a dental replacement made up of a titanium metal root, a metal alloy post, and a porcelain crown. The titanium root lives right in the jaw bone where the natural tooth root once resided. As the implant site heals, the titanium device and jaw bone meld together, forming an inseparable bond. This miracle bonding process is referred to as osseointegration.
Who can get dental implants?
Dental implants work well for many tooth replacement situations. To avoid rapid bone loss after extraction, Dr. Johnson may wish to begin the implant process right away. If it's been some time since you lost your tooth--or teeth--he will examine your mouth carefully so as to ensure that it is strong and sizable enough to receive the implant devices.
Is treatment painful?
No way! Dr. Johnson generally uses a simple local anesthetic to numb the implant area before the installation procedure.
If you have lost multiple teeth...
Dental implants are the best options for natural-looking and functional replacement teeth. Your dentist can use them to secure multi-tooth bridge work and full or partial dentures. These prosthetics create smiles which are strong and stable, with none of the problems conventional tooth replacements create (i.e. speech slurring, bone loss, etc.).
Taking care of implants
It's as easy as taking care of natural teeth! Simply brush twice a day and floss once daily to keep plaque and tartar at bay. If you smoke, try to quit, for tobacco degrades implant sites. Also, do not forget to see Dr. Johnson for your usual cleanings and examinations every six months.
Your best possible smile
You can have it with dental implants from Dr. Jerry Johnson in Pasadena. For more information on these state-of-the-art tooth replacements, contact our office for a personalized consultation: (626) 798-7896.

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.

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.
