Dental Implants in Sacramento, CA

What Are Dental Implants?

Missing teeth affect more than your appearance — they change how you chew, speak, and feel day to day. At Dr. Tex Mabalon Dentistry, we offer dental implants in Sacramento as a permanent, natural-looking solution. One consultation is all it takes to find out if you’re a candidate.

A dental implant is a titanium post placed into the jawbone that fuses with bone over time — acting as a permanent artificial root. A porcelain crown is then attached on top, matching your natural teeth in both look and function. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are freestanding, don’t slip, and stop the bone loss that follows tooth extraction.

Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?

Most healthy adults with one or more missing teeth qualify. Common indicators include:

One or more missing or extracted teeth
Adequate jawbone density — or candidacy for bone grafting
Gums free of active periodontal disease
No uncontrolled systemic conditions (e.g., unmanaged diabetes)

The Dental Implant Process

We keep every step transparent so you know exactly what to expect.

01

Consultation & Imaging

Dr. Mabalon reviews your health history, captures digital X-rays and 3D cone beam scans, and delivers a clear treatment plan — all in one visit.

02

Implant Placement

The titanium post is placed using oral sedation, so you stay comfortable and relaxed throughout. Most patients report far less discomfort than expected.

03

Osseointegration

Over 3–6 months, your bone fuses with the implant post. You continue normal daily activities throughout this healing phase.

04

Crown Placement

A custom porcelain crown is attached and colour-matched to your natural teeth. Permanent — no removal required.

Phase	What Happens	Duration
Consultation	Exam, 3D imaging, treatment plan	1 visit
Implant Surgery	Titanium post surgical placement	1–2 hours
Healing	Osseointegration — bone fuses with post	3–6 months
Crown Placement	Abutment + custom porcelain crown	1–2 visits
Total	Full restoration complete	4–8 months

Types of Implant Restorations We Offer

Not every tooth-loss situation is the same. Dr. Mabalon offers several implant-based restorations depending on how many teeth you’re replacing.

Single Tooth Implant

One post, one crown. Preserves adjacent teeth entirely — no filing required. The most common and straightforward implant restoration.

Implant-Supported Bridge

Two posts support a bridge across 2–4 consecutive missing teeth — more stable than a traditional bridge, without relying on neighbouring healthy teeth.

Implant-Supported Dentures

4–6 posts anchor a full denture for patients missing most or all teeth on an arch. Eliminates slip and preserves the jawbone over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

About dental implants in Sacramento

The cost varies depending on your specific case — how many teeth are being replaced, whether bone grafting is needed, and the type of restoration chosen. Dr. Tex Mabalon Dentistry provides a fully itemised estimate at your consultation so you know exactly what to expect before any treatment begins. Financing through Cherry is available to help break costs into manageable monthly payments.

With proper oral hygiene and regular dental visits, implants can last 25 years or longer — often a lifetime. The crown may need replacement after 15–20 years, but the implant post is designed to be permanent.

The procedure is performed with oral sedation — you’ll feel calm and comfortable throughout, with no pain during placement. Post-surgery discomfort is typically mild and manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers. Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the experience is compared to what they expected.

From consultation to final crown, the full process takes 4 to 8 months. The longest phase is osseointegration (3–6 months), when the bone fuses with the titanium post.

Possibly. Many patients with some bone loss are still candidates after bone grafting. Dr. Mabalon uses 3D imaging to assess your bone density at your initial consultation.

Coverage varies by plan. Many plans do not cover the full implant cost, though some cover the crown component. Our team will review your specific plan and provide a clear out-of-pocket estimate before treatment.

Yes — and this is the option I would recommend to my own family. Dental implants are the only tooth replacement that stimulates the jawbone, preventing the bone loss and facial changes that follow long-term tooth loss. They look, feel, and function like natural teeth. When you consider the lifespan and quality of life improvement, implants are consistently the highest-value long-term choice.
