Burbank, CA, August 8, 2013 – Missing teeth are not only unattractive, but can also lead to more serious oral health complications if they are not replaced. The Burbank Dental Implants dentist helps patients maintain a whole and healthy smile with the aid of dental implants. Dental implants can be used to replace a single tooth or multiple missing teeth. Because of the success rate of dental implants over the years, they are the tooth replacement option of choice for dental patients as well as dental professionals.
“The loss of a tooth often has a dramatic effect on a person’s self esteem, lifestyle and oral health. Fortunately we now have dental implants to effectively eliminate these issues and provide the patient with a smile that is whole and beautiful,” explains Dr. Jerry Albus, Burbank Dental Implants dentist. “While missing teeth are indeed unattractive, they are not just an aesthetic problem. When missing teeth are not replaced, other more serious oral health problems like deterioration of the jaw bone can quickly develop.”
A dental implant consists of a very small titanium root surgically implanted in the jaw bone. As the site of the implant heals, the biocompatible titanium bonds with the surrounding bone and acts as a placeholder for the root of the missing tooth. After the site is completely healed, a dental restoration is placed over the implant. It is not necessary to remove any healthy tooth structure of adjacent teeth, which makes dental implants useful as anchors for dental crowns or bridges.
Dental implants also help to maintain good oral health since they preserve the structure and density of the patient’s jaw bone. Once dental implants are placed they are virtually indistinguishable from the patient’s natural teeth. Because of their composition, dental implants won’t decay, are strong, durable, and can last for many years with proper care and routine oral hygiene.
