Dental Implants in Los Angeles: The Very Best Tooth Replacement<\/span><\/h3>\r\nYou\u2019ve got options in the tooth replacement department. Fixed bridges replace your tooth by creating an actual bridge, using the surrounding natural teeth as anchors, and non-implant supported dentures pop in and out of your mouth. These solutions are certainly economical, but they\u2019re just not as effective as dental implants. Keep reading to find out why.<\/span>\r\n

How Are Dental Implants Different from Other Options?<\/span><\/h4>\r\nTiny posts made of titanium, dental implants are surgically placed into your gum to act as a prosthetic root for your new replacement tooth. That\u2019s where this option differs from the rest — it replaces more than just the visible part of the tooth, or its crown. And that keeps your jawbone healthy, preventing deterioration and more tooth loss later on. <\/span>\r\n

What Can I Expect from the Dental Implant Procedure?<\/span><\/h4>\r\nIn all, the procedure for dental implants takes about six months. It seems like a long time, but you\u2019ll have a temporary tooth replacement until your permanent one is ready to be placed.<\/span>\r\n\r\nFirst, your dental implants will be surgically implanted into your gum. Once this initial step is complete, you\u2019ll have a recovery period of two to five months — the time it takes for the jawbone to fuse with the titanium implant, which we call osseointegration.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAfter osseointegration has taken place, Dr. Latner will expose the tops of your implants and place abutments on each one. These abutments connect the implant to the new tooth replacement, providing an incredibly sturdy base for your new teeth. <\/span>\r\n

Am I a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?<\/span><\/h4>\r\nDental implants are an excellent solution for people with one or more missing teeth who wish to transform their smiles for good. To know for sure if you\u2019re an ideal candidate for the treatment, you\u2019ll need to schedule a consultation with Dr. Latner, your Los Angeles implant dentist. In this initial appointment, he\u2019ll check to make sure you have sufficient existing jawbone structure to support the dental implants, and that you\u2019re in good oral and overall health. Patients with certain conditions, like gum disease and diabetes, may not be good candidates for gum disease. <\/span>\r\n
