Dental Implants

A missing tooth can have a major impact on the overall appearance of your smile. It can also make it difficult to eat certain foods and can lead to speech impediments. Your remaining teeth are affected by the tooth gap as well. Bone loss in the jaw can occur in the area of the tooth gap, and teeth could shift out of alignment over time. These problems are compounded if you are missing multiple teeth.

To deal with missing teeth, dental bridges and dentures have been traditionally used, but it’s important to consider getting dental implants at our San Francisco practice. Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are surgically anchored into your jawbone and gums. By securing the dental implants into actual tissues and structures of your mouth, you will eliminate the possibility of bone loss in the jaw, and any dental restoration supported by a dental implant will remain more securely in place.

Since not everyone is a good candidate for implant dentistry, it’s important that you speak with Dr. Hee at our San Francisco office about dental implants and if they are the right option for you.

Testimonials

Having a dental emergency is never fun. After being recommended to Dr Hee through a friend I setup an appointment for the next day. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They have a lot of extra touches to make your visit enjoyable, like a list of movies to watch and coffee or tea. This office loves technology and embraces it in a refreshing way. My second visit was today and they did a great job.

I also had a dental emergency and got nothing by the best care from dr. hee. He was genuinely concerned about my recovery and I was glad I was referred to him by a friend in the area. A few days after visiting his office, he even personally called me to follow-up on my healing. I have nothing but good things to say about the courtesy of dr. hee and his staff in the office. They took great care of me at a time when I really needed it!

I guess I've been lucky that of the three dentists that I've seen in my life, I've never had a bad experience. Dr. Hee continues that tradition. I like that he explains my options, including price and the estimated lifespan of each option. Everyone is super friendly. Also, can I say this place is like a spa? Also, the movie goggles are killer for longer procedures.

I, and my extended family, have been patients at Dr. Hee's office since he opened his business 25-30 years ago. His office is very clean, organized, and their staff is top-notch. Everyone is very pleasant and always explain procedures well. While I have had many dental procedures over the years for an issue with grinding my teeth, I can happily say that I am nearly cavity-free thanks, in part, to Dr. Hee's guidance regarding fillings and maintenance. I look forward to visiting them twice a year, and feel very lucky that I have had such excellent service and treatment for all these years. Thanks Dr. Hee and staff!
