What are Dental Implants ?

A dental is a replacement for a tooth root. Fixed or removable replacement teeth that are created to match your original teeth can be supported by implants. Dental implant surgery involves replacing tooth roots with metal, screw-like posts and lost or broken teeth with artificial teeth that closely resemble real teeth in appearance and function. When there are insufficient natural tooth roots to allow for the construction of dentures or bridgework oral transplants, dental implant surgery can provide a helpful option.

Who can benefit from Dental Implants?

Dental implants are the standard treatment for people who are missing certain teeth or who have teeth that are severely decayed or broken beyond repair. If you’re experiencing difficulty chewing, speaking, or smiling because of your partial denture, bridge, or dentures, you could benefit from implant technology.

Benefits of Dental Implants

  • Dental implants have a
    lifetime lifespan

The average lifespan of a dental bridge is about ten years, while dental implants will last for a much longer time with the proper care. The titanium implant is designed to integrate with the jawbone, forming a strong bond with it. Because of its biocompatibility, it won’t hurt the body in any way and your body will typically not reject it. In the end, you get a durable artificial tooth.

  • Better oral health
Dental implants can last a lifetime, as opposed to a dental bridge, which might only last 10 years or so. The titanium implant fuses with the jawbone and is comprised of titanium. It is biocompatible, which means that it won’t harm the body and won’t be rejected by it. Overall, it creates a strong substitute tooth.

  • Improve Speech & confidence
You can speak with dental implants without worrying that your teeth could slip. You can regain your smile with dental implants, which will make you feel better about yourself.
  • Similar to real teeth
The ability to fully chew again is one of an implant’s main benefits. Most patients are unable to distinguish between their implant tooth and their natural teeth. They can clean their teeth and floss properly while using it, and they can eat normally.
  • Enhanced appearance

Dental implants look a lot like your natural teeth. Additionally, because they are meant to fuse with bone, they become permanent.

After Care for Dental Implants

Dental implants need to be cared for in the same ways as natural teeth, which includes brushing, flossing, using an antimicrobial mouthwash, and visiting the dentist regularly.

Replacing lost teeth with dental implants in Tarzana is a long-term and reliable option. Dental implants are small titanium rods or screws that replace missing tooth roots and are surgically implanted into the jaw.

The implant acts as a substitute for the tooth’s original root and serves as a stable foundation for a replacement tooth or teeth. Dental implants are preferred by many people because they last a lifetime and seem completely natural.

Replacement teeth are anchored in place using dental implants, which function similarly to natural tooth roots. This treatment method naturally restores teeth without affecting any neighboring teeth.

Are Dental Implants Painful?

Many patients who have received dental implants claim that the procedure causes almost no discomfort. During the procedure, a local anesthetic can be used, and most patients report that implants are less painful than tooth extractions.
Mild soreness following a dental implant can be addressed with over-the-counter pain relievers like Tylenol or Motrin.
