Wondering if dental implants are the right way to treat your tooth loss?
Did you recently get a tooth extracted? Has advanced gum disease left you with tooth loss? If so, here at Stars Dental in Camarillo and Tarzana, CA, Drs. Adib and Neda Setareh can fix your situation with the help of dental implants. Here are some of the reasons to consider undergoing this powerful restorative treatment:
They function like real teeth
While nothing can ever really function just like real teeth, dental implants come amazingly close. This is because the metal implant is placed directly into the jawbone where it takes the place of your missing tooth roots. From there, the implant will fuse together with the jawbone over the course of a few months. Once the fusion is complete, this implant will not move or shift around in your mouth. A crown will then be cemented into place over the implant, allowing it to feel, look, and act like a real tooth.
They preserve the rest of your smile
There are several ways in which dental implants preserve the rest of your healthy smile. Other restorations require natural teeth to hold false teeth in place, which can put added pressure and stress on natural teeth, but not dental implants. Plus, by placing false teeth into the gaps you redistribute the biting forces for your smile, which ensures that more pressure and biting force isn’t being placed on certain teeth that could cause damage.
They prevent teeth from shifting around
If you leave gaps in your smile and don’t replace missing teeth the rest of your teeth will gradually try to fill in those gaps. What you’re left with is a crooked, uneven smile that will need to be corrected with braces. We know that getting braces along with a dental implant is probably the last thing you want, especially if you can avoid it. By getting an implant after an extraction, you can prevent your teeth from moving out of alignment.
