If you live in the Los Angeles area and you are thinking about dental implants give us a call. Take advantage of our complimentary initial consultation to learn more about what a great option dental implants are for replacing your missing teeth.
Implant dentistry is a specialty that is superior to other tooth replacement options. Your oral surgeon will go over everything you need to know about your dental implant procedure. Whether you are replacing a missing tooth or getting multiple implants, our implant procedures are carefully planned and implemented.
The Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants provide a long lasting solution to patients who have one or more teeth that are missing. With proper care and good oral hygiene your dental implants can last a lifetime. Unlike dentures and other prosthetics, dental implants require little maintenance. Your implant procedure typically requires a short recovery period so you can get back doing what you love right away.
You dental implant will look and feel just like your natural teeth. No worries about having to deal with that uncomfortable feeling in your mouth. Dental implants are designed to blend in and function seamlessly with your surrounding teeth for a natural appearance.
Dental Implants Protect Your Facial Structure
Missing teeth can cause your face to sag. Replacing missing teeth with dental implants helps to support your jaw bone and your jaw bone supports your facial structure. An implant is a dental restoration that can improve your general appearance and make your healthy smile look more natural.
Dental Implants, the Preferred Method of Tooth Replacement
Given all the benefits of dental implants it is easy to see why Los Angeles patients prefer them to other prosthetic options such as traditional dentures, crowns, and veneers. Tooth loss can accelerate degenerative conditions like periodontal disease or gum disease and bone loss.
Dental implant treatment accompanied with good oral hygiene can arrest the progress of gum disease and bone loss. Your new replacement teeth can do more than improve your appearance, they can stabilize your oral health.
Unlike a dental crown, dentures, dental bridges or other prosthetics used to replace missing teeth, a dental implant can help restore your natural speech. Your dental implant procedure matches your replacement teeth to your existing teeth so you bite down and chew with confidence.
Protects Adjacent Teeth
Not only do dental implants fit and function seamlessly with your adjacent teeth they also protect them. Dental implants can preserve the underlying bone and gum tissue. Your dental implant tooth replacement functions like an artificial tooth root which is more resistant to infection and more stable than a natural tooth root. Even a single tooth replacement can help maintain healthy gums and prevent additional tooth loss.
Dental Implants Behave Like Natural Teeth
The whole point of going through dental implant surgery is to replace your missing teeth with long lasting implant prosthetics that look and function like your natural teeth. Once your dental implants have healed you can eat and chew with confidence. Your smile looks great when your dental implants have the same look and color as your natural teeth.
Types of Dental Implants
There are different types of dental implants. The benefits and uses of each will be determined by our Los Angeles dental implant specialists. You may be a candidate for mini-implants, all on four implants, tilted implants, zirconia implants, zygomatic dental implants, endosteal implants or subperiosteal implants.
Rest assured that our implant dentistry experts will create a custom treatment plan that is right for you.
Same Day Dental Implants Los Angeles
Most patients are not aware that a dental implant procedure can often be completed in one day. Depending on the complexity of your implant design and the condition of your oral health you may qualify for a one day procedure. This eliminates multiple trips to office and recovery time plus you get to enjoy your new healthy smile right away.
Contact our office today to see if you qualify for same day dental implants.
Q: Who Is a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?
Even the best dental implants can’t help patients with severe bone loss or periodontal disease. Just like your natural teeth, dental implants are anchored into your bone. Patients with significant bone loss may not qualify for an implant procedure. Before a custom treatment plan can be created an examination and status of your current oral health must be determined. In some cases a bone graft or gum graft can help with the implant process.
Q: When can I return to work after tooth implant surgery?
Some dental services come with long recovery periods but most dental implant procedures have a relatively short recovery period. If you only have a few missing teeth, your tooth replacement operation can happen quickly. Sometimes the entire dental implant procedure can be completed in one visit. If you want to replace missing teeth call our office for more information.
Q: Is the dental implant procedure painful?
As long as you don’t need bone grafting or gum grafting most patients have their implant procedure done using local anesthesia. Some patients experience discomfort after their procedure but over the counter pain medication is usually enough to provide relief.
Q: How Long Do Dental Implants Last?
No dental prosthetic can match the durability of a dental implant. With proper care they can last a lifetime.
Q: How are Dental Implants Placed?
Every implant procedure starts with a thorough examination of your oral health. Do you have healthy gums? What is the condition of the surrounding teeth? What is the condition of your jaw bone? Do you need a bone graft? Are there other dental issues? Do you need one replacement tooth or several? What are you dental implant options?
All of these questions and more must be answered before your dental implant procedure can be considered. Once it is determined you have good oral health and that you are a good candidate for tooth replacement our Los Angeles oral surgeon will discuss options and go over exactly how your dental implants will be installed.
Q: How much do Dental Implants cost?
The cost of your dental implants can vary. Do you need to replace a single missing tooth or enough prosthetics for your full mouth? Dental implants come in various types and sizes. These factors and others can affect the cost of your dental implant procedure. During your initial consultation we will review your dental implant options, discuss the cost, and help you with financing if you qualify.
Q: Why are dental implants better than traditional dentures and bridges?
One of the main benefits of dental implants is their permanence and ease of care. When installed properly, dental implants don’t slip or move or come loose. Unlike traditional dentures and bridges which can move and become uncomfortable, dental implants only require basic tooth care and good oral hygiene. The same cannot be said of dentures and bridges which need to be removed to be cleaned and must be replaced in time.
If you are considering traditional dentures call us to find out about the many benefits dental implants offer.
Q: How long does recovery from dental implant surgery take?
Recovery time can vary for dental implants. Los Angeles dentists will tell you the average recovery can take 3 to 4 days. You won’t even have to delay that trip to Disneyland Park or the Santa Monica Pier.
If you receive a bone graft or have other unrelated work done, your recovery time may be longer. Our Los Angeles oral surgeon will review all of the details of your procedure, including anticipated time for recovery, before your surgery begins.
Q: Are Dental Implants Covered by Insurance?
Most patients looking for dental implants in Los Angeles want to know if their dental insurance will cover the cost. Some insurance companies will only pay for dental bridges or a temporary crown. You will need to call your insurance company to find out what dental care procedures are covered under your policy.
Q: How successful is dental implant surgery?
As long as you maintain good oral hygiene, your dental implant surgery has an almost 100% success rate.
Q: What should I eat after getting dental implants?
Dental implants feel so much like your natural teeth sometimes patients forget to watch what they eat. Yes, with implants you can eat virtually any food with no restrictions but that is after healing has taken place. Your oral surgeon will review the steps of care after your procedure. This will include a regiment of what you can and cannot eat. Don’t worry, it won’t be long before you are using your dental implants the same as your natural teeth.
