Dental Implants in San Luis Obispo
If you have any missing teeth, it can make once simple tasks—like eating and speaking comfortably—a new difficulty to deal with every day. With implant dentistry from Deborah McNeil-Amorteguy, DDS, it’s possible to restore your full missing tooth and have a healthy, complete set of teeth again!
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are an effective tooth replacement option because they become a part of your natural oral structure. An implant is a metal post that is surgically attached to the jaw. It is then covered with a replacement tooth, providing the mouth with an improved appearance, greater strength, and increased comfort.
Why Should I Get A Dental Implant?
There are a number of treatment options for those with missing teeth, but dental implants are unique because they are permanent. Choosing dental implants can help you to avoid the following issues:
- Weak jaw.
- Poor tooth appearance.
- Sunken appearance in the face.
- Pain or discomfort.
Implant dentistry can help you with these issues and allow you a full, brilliant, and comfortable smile.

Choosing dental implants to restore your smile provides a number of benefits, including these:
“I know that I will be in capable and kind hands from the time I walk through the door to receiving treatment in the dental chair. Everyone who works there is a quality person. I feel grateful to be the recipient of such great care. The staff possess kind heart and give top notch care. I feel seen and appreciated at each appointment. Thank you!”

Natural-looking | Tooth implants are one of the most natural-looking dental restorations available. They fit in well with your original teeth, and the dental crown or dentures placed over an implant will be designed to match your teeth in color and shape.
Improved Comfort | Once your dental implants are in place, you don’t have to worry about chewing around your missing teeth or worry about dentures slipping out of place. Your implants will allow you to eat and speak comfortably.
Better Appearance | Dental implants can improve the appearance of your teeth, but they can also provide a fuller look in the face by keeping your facial structure from appearing worn or sunken.
Improved Oral Health | Tooth implants promote great overall oral health because they protect the jawbone from deterioration and don’t require any other healthy teeth to be affected in any way.
Built To Last | Dental implants are meant to completely replace your adult teeth. Made from titanium and completely biocompatible, dental implants can last a lifetime if properly maintained.
Provide a Better Bite | Implant dentistry can improve or maintain your bite. This is essential in keeping key muscle groups healthy in order to avoid developing painful conditions like temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD).
Dental Implants To Replace Missing Teeth
Whether you are missing a single tooth due to a sports injury or multiple teeth due to decay and gum disease, our office can provide a solution. Each implant is designed to restore not only your smile’s natural beauty but your oral health as well!
Single Tooth Implant | As the name suggests, this is perfect for those who have lost a single tooth. Both the abutment (which simulates the tooth’s root) and the crown (prosthetic tooth) can be placed without disturbing your natural teeth.
Multiple Tooth Implants | If you are missing multiple teeth and have healthy gums, two fixtures can be placed allowing for multiple crows to be placed which are supported by the surrounding, natural teeth.
