If you currently wear removable dentures and are looking for an alternative, then you may be an ideal candidate for dental implants. Many of my patients at my Beverly Hills practice who wish to be free of the hassle and worry of dentures are interested in learning more about their options.
Although removal dentures have been an easy method to replace missing teeth, they often cause gum problems and insecurity when worn. Slipping and/or completely falling out of the mouth can be embarrassing, which prevents many individuals from participating in social events or even everyday small talk with others. Dental implants can replace temporary dentures with a permanent tooth restoration for one or more teeth. Because the tooth’s root is replaced with a titanium rod and becomes a part of the jawbone, the new tooth will stay in place and provide patients with a natural-looking smile. In addition, the use of dental implants and caps can prevent further damage to the surrounding teeth. Those who have full dentures may also be eligible for dental implants; by placing multiple implants in the jawbone, a full, permanent denture may be placed in the mouth.
As each patient has a unique dental structure and needs, it is important to visit a qualified dentist who can help you reach your goals. To learn more regarding dental implants and how they may be of benefit to you, please schedule an appointment at my Beverly Hills his office.
