The absence of teeth can profoundly affect your self-esteem, dental wellness, and overall quality of life. At the Southern California Center for Surgical Arts, we recognize the critical need to rejuvenate your smile with an option that mimics the appearance, sensation, and performance of your original teeth. Consequently, we provide our clients in Sherman Oaks and Pasadena, CA, with top-of-the-line dental implants designed to meet this need.
Understanding Dental Implants
Dental implants are synthetic tooth roots crafted from biocompatible materials, most commonly titanium, and are surgically embedded into the jawbone. They provide a sturdy base for attaching replacement teeth such as crowns, bridges, or dentures, offering a natural appearance and long-lasting durability with appropriate maintenance.
The dental implant process takes place over a few stages:
- Initial Evaluation:Â A thorough assessment is performed to ascertain if the patient is a good candidate for implants. This includes X-rays, 3D imaging, and an in-depth examination of both oral and overall health.
- Surgical Placement:Â If deemed suitable, the implant is surgically inserted into the jawbone.
- Healing Period:Â Over several months, the implant fuses with the bone in a process called osseointegration.
- Attachment of Abutment:Â Once healing is complete, an abutment is connected to the implant.
- Final Restoration:Â A custom-designed crown is then affixed to the abutment, completing the restoration and resulting in a fully functional and aesthetically pleasing replacement tooth.
Benefits of Dental Implants
- Durability and Longevity: With proper maintenance, dental implants can last many years, making them a cost-effective solution in the long run. They are designed to withstand the daily pressures of chewing and speaking.
- Improved Oral Health: Unlike traditional bridges, dental implants do not require altering adjacent teeth, preserving the integrity of your natural teeth. This helps maintain better oral hygiene and reduces the risk of future dental problems. In addition, your smile benefits from an aesthetic boost.
- Bone Preservation: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and maintaining facial structure. This is crucial for avoiding the sunken appearance that can occur with prolonged tooth loss.
