Los Angeles Implant Dentist
Implant dentistry is the placement of false teeth, such as a crown or bridge, into the jaw structure. There are several benefits of this such as the ability to save the teeth, comfort and reliability. Because an implant is attached into the jaw structure instead of being supported by adjacent teeth, there is no need to alter the structure of the surrounding teeth. Dental implants can also help prevent the gum recession and bone loss than can result from dentures and bridgework.
Dental implants replace missing teeth, which can improve speech and chewing ability. Dental implants are natural looking feeling. Sometimes, it’s even possible that a patient with dental implants will have a hard time remembering he or she ever lost a tooth. Since dental implants are secured into the jaw structure, there is none of the looseness of dentures. There is no glue. There are no removable parts to get lost. They are steady and long lasting, as well.
Dental implants are placed in a two step process. The first step is for the dentist to surgically place small titanium screws into the jawbone structure, and close the wounds with stitches. In three to six months, after the wounds have closed, the patient returns to have the artificial teeth placed permanently onto the screws.
Dental implants offer more benefits than just a more aesthetically pleasing smile. They offer improved speech and ability to chew. Also, the naturalness of the dental implants offers more support for the jaw and gums. Overall health of the mouth is improved and jaw disorders can be prevented with the use of dental implants.
At the Center for Cosmetic, Implant and Neuromuscular Dentistry, dentists work with the patient to ensure that all needs are met competently and confidentially. The staff is prideful of the level of customer service and care that is offered in the office. At CCIND, patients are treated with respect.
