This FAQ page is designed to help patients in Stockton and surrounding areas better understand dental implants and All-on-4® implant-supported dentures offered at Nu Smile Dental. Whether you are missing one tooth or need full-arch restoration, these answers address common questions to help you make an informed, confident decision about your dental care.
General Information FAQs
Dental implants are small titanium posts that are placed into the jawbone to replace the roots of missing teeth. They provide a strong, stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or implant-supported dentures.
Most adults with missing teeth are potential candidates for dental implants. Eligibility is determined through an oral exam, X-rays, and a review of your overall health and jawbone condition.
Dental implants are fixed in the jawbone and function like natural teeth, while traditional dentures rest on the gums and can move during eating or speaking. Implant-supported options offer significantly more stability and comfort.
Features / Services FAQs
Nu Smile Dental offers single-tooth implants, multiple-tooth replacements, implant-supported dentures, and All-on-4® full-arch implant solutions tailored to individual needs.
All-on-4® uses a minimum of four strategically placed implants to support a full arch of teeth. This approach allows patients to restore an entire upper or lower arch with fewer implants.
In many cases, temporary teeth can be placed the same day as implant surgery, allowing patients to leave the office with a functional smile while healing takes place.
Process / How It Works FAQs
The process begins with a consultation that includes a comprehensive exam, digital imaging, and a discussion of treatment options and expectations.
The implant is inserted into the jawbone during a minor surgical procedure performed in-office. Over time, the implant fuses with the bone to create a secure foundation.
Treatment time varies by case. Some patients receive temporary restorations immediately, while final restorations are placed after the healing period is complete.

Final / Miscellaneous FAQs
Dental implants are made of biocompatible titanium and cannot be rejected. Implant failure is rare and usually related to infection or improper healing.
Implants can replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or an entire arch. In some cases, as few as two or four implants can support a full set of teeth.
