Understanding Dental Implants

An overview of the most essential things that you need to know.

Dental implants have improved the lives of thousands of people all over the world, replacing existing teeth, removable dentures, or even complete dentures. They have become the best and longest lasting way to deal with tooth decay, gum disease, injuries, defects, and anything else that leads to tooth loss. In particular, dental implants in Beverly Hills have become popular choices for their aesthetic appeal.

Unlike other types of tooth replacement, implants look completely natural because they can be matched to your existing teeth. As they become a permanent part of your mouth, you won’t have as much irritation or slipping, which also helps them feel natural. They can be singular teeth or can form a dental bridge for a few missing teeth.

You will have several appointments with a dentist, periodontist, or oral surgeon before you get dental implants.

They may need to work with you on things like bone density and bone height before they decide if you will be a good candidate for the procedure. Once you have been approved, you will have a few more appointments. During the first surgery, a thin rod will be anchored into your jawbone where your tooth was. It will then be sealed back up to allow it to fuse to your jawbone, called osseointegrate. If you are healed after three to six months, you will have a custom-made crown attached that will blend in perfectly with your teeth.

Getting dental implants is very common and easily accessible in Beverly Hills, but it is important that you go to a reputable dentist, periodontist, or oral surgeon that will help you get the best possible results.
