Dental Implants in Santa Ana, CA
Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth — permanent, stable, and virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth. Dr. William Hwang, DDS has extensive experience placing and restoring implants.
What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a small titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Once healed, a custom crown is attached on top — giving you a tooth that looks, feels, and functions like a natural one. Implants can replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or support a full arch of teeth.

The Implant Process
Consultation & Planning
Dr. Hwang evaluates your bone density, gum health, and overall oral health to determine if implants are right for you. Digital X-rays and a thorough exam guide the treatment plan.
Implant Placement
The titanium implant post is placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia. Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the procedure is.
Healing (Osseointegration)
Over 3–6 months, the implant fuses with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration, creating a stable foundation for the crown.
Crown Placement
A custom-made porcelain crown is attached to the implant, completing your new tooth. The result looks and functions just like a natural tooth.
