What they can\u2019t replace is your missing root.\r\n\r\nThat\u2019s why, at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leslatnerdds.com\/\">Dr. Latner\u2019s Los Angeles office<\/a>, we offer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leslatnerdds.com\/dental-implants.html\">dental implants<\/a> as one of our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leslatnerdds.com\/restorative-dentistry.html\">restorative dentistry<\/a> options.\r\n\r\nWhy is replacing a missing root so important?\r\n\r\nBecause your tooth roots stimulate the growth of new bone tissue, keeping your jaw strong. Without your root, your jaw can begin to atrophy and further tooth loss can occur. <strong>Dental implants<\/strong> prevent this by replacing your missing root with a prosthetic root made from biocompatible titanium.\r\n\r\nWhat\u2019s more, <strong>dental implants<\/strong> can be combined with <strong>crowns, bridge, and dentures,<\/strong> providing more natural results than just these traditional solutions by themselves.\r\n\r\nNot every patient is a candidate for <strong>dental implants<\/strong>, though. Which is why, if you\u2019ve been considering <strong>dental implants<\/strong> as a solution for your smile, a consultation visit with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leslatnerdds.com\/meet-dr-latner.html\">Dr. Latner<\/a> at our <strong>Los Angeles<\/strong> office is a must.
