Dental Implants

Teeth are one of the strongest parts of the human body, but they can be damaged. Oral bacteria can attack the teeth or the supporting tissues, leading to decay or gum disease, both of which can contribute to tooth loss. Dental trauma can also lead to tooth loss. Once a tooth is lost, it must be replaced to maintain proper spacing of the other teeth and to restore bite function and appearance. If you have lost a tooth for either of these reasons, our Los Angeles dental implants dentist may recommend implants.

Dental implants are special devices that are typically made of titanium and are shaped like a rod or screw. They are inserted into the jawbone at the site of the lost tooth. The bone grows around the implant, and it becomes integrated into the bone structure. Our expert in dental implants in Los Angeles can then restore the implant using the restoration of your choice, including crowns, bridges or dentures.

Implants are considered the gold standard in tooth replacement. They offer many benefits over other types of restorations, including:

• Preserved bone structure
• Better dental health
• Greater strength and durability
• Improved appearance
• Natural feel

Our Los Angeles dental implants dentist may recommend dental implants if you are missing one or more teeth and are healthy enough to undergo the surgical procedure. If the bone or gum tissue at the implant site is insufficient to support an implant, you may need to undergo additional procedures to strengthen and improve the quality of these tissues.

Once your implants are in place, you will only need to maintain good dental habits to keep them healthy. Brush your implants just like you brush your own teeth, and floss carefully to remove any plaque or food debris. Visit our expert in dental implants in Los Angeles regularly for professional cleanings and routine dental exams.

Losing a tooth does not have to mean losing your smile. We can restore the lost tooth with a long-lasting dental implant for a new tooth that looks, feels and functions just like the one you lost.
