Dental Implants in Marysville, CA
A durable, natural-looking option for replacing missing teeth
Why Dental Implants Are the Gold Standard
Missing teeth affect more than your smile — they can change the way you eat, speak, and feel about yourself. Dental implants at Charles F. Kattuah, DDS in Marysville offer a durable, natural-looking replacement designed to restore both function and confidence.
Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are anchored directly in the jawbone, which means they do not slip, shift, or require adhesives. They also help preserve your jawbone and prevent the facial changes that occur when teeth are missing.
Dr. Kattuah has 28 years of experience evaluating patients for implants and developing treatment plans tailored to each person’s needs and goals.
Long-Lasting Stability
Implants are anchored in the jawbone — no adhesives, no removal, no slipping.
Preserves Bone
Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing the bone loss that follows tooth loss.
Natural Function
Eat, speak, and smile with confidence — implants look and feel like your own teeth.

Your Dental Implant Journey
Comprehensive Evaluation
Dr. Kattuah performs a thorough exam with imaging to assess your jawbone, gum health, and overall candidacy. Together, you will discuss your goals and create a treatment plan.
Treatment Planning
If bone grafting or additional preparation is needed, we address it before placement. Our team prepares a personalized timeline and cost estimate.
Implant Post Surgery
The titanium implant post is placed into the jawbone during a comfortable, carefully planned procedure. A temporary restoration may be placed for aesthetics.
Osseointegration
Over the following weeks, the implant fuses with the bone in a process called osseointegration, forming a strong, stable foundation for your new tooth.
Custom Crown Placement
Once healing is complete, a custom-crafted crown is attached to the implant. The result blends seamlessly with your natural teeth in color, shape, and function.
Are Dental Implants Right for You?
Dental implants are an excellent solution for many patients, but they are not automatically the right choice for everyone. Several factors determine whether implants are the best path forward, and a thorough consultation at Charles F. Kattuah, DDS is the first step toward finding out.
Candidacy Factors
Ideal candidates for dental implants are in good overall health and have sufficient jawbone density to support the titanium post. Conditions such as uncontrolled diabetes, certain autoimmune disorders, or heavy tobacco use can affect healing and may need to be managed before implant placement. However, many patients who initially think they are not candidates discover that they are after a proper evaluation.
Bone Density and Grafting
When a tooth has been missing for a while, the jawbone in that area can begin to lose volume — a process known as resorption. If imaging reveals that the bone is too thin or too shallow, a bone grafting procedure can rebuild the area and create a solid foundation for the implant. Dr. Kattuah will review your imaging results in detail and explain whether grafting is needed and what the additional timeline looks like.
What to Expect at Your Consultation
During your first visit, Dr. Kattuah performs a comprehensive exam that includes digital X-rays and a review of your medical history. You will have time to discuss your goals — whether you are replacing a single tooth, several teeth, or considering implant-supported dentures — and ask any questions you may have. Our team prepares a personalized treatment plan with a clear cost estimate so you can make an informed decision without pressure.
We also walk you through the expected timeline, from initial placement through final crown delivery, so there are no surprises along the way. Financing options are available for patients who want to spread the investment over time.
