Dental Implants are the High-Tech Way to Replace Missing Teeth and Restore a Natural Smile, Says the Total Family Dental Group in Torrance, CA
Titanium dental implants can restore or enhance your smile.
TORRANCE, CA, October 12, 2011 /Healthcare PR News/ -- Missing teeth can impact your smile and affect your confidence while also making chewing and digesting food more difficult. If you routinely cover your mouth when you smile due to embarrassment about missing teeth, dental implants could solve your problem and allow you to meet people, or face a camera, with increased confidence.
Dental implants are usually made from titanium; they are artificial roots and teeth that are surgically placed into the upper or lower jawbone by an oral surgeon or periodontist. The process will require a number of visits over some weeks or months; ideal candidates for implants will be in good general and oral health with sufficient bone to support the implant; they should have healthy gum tissue that is free from periodontal disease.
Implants provide a permanent, fixed solution to missing teeth that is superior to traditional bridgework and far more natural and comfortable than partial dentures. With a traditional bridge, the neighboring teeth are used as supports; it is essential that these teeth are healthy and able to support the bridge. Additionally, patients must maintain extreme levels of oral hygiene, cleaning under the bridge daily. Implants, on the other hand, do not compromise the neighboring teeth in any way and behave exactly like natural teeth; once treatment is completed, no one will be able to tell the difference and your natural smile will be restored. Normal oral hygiene will still be important, of course, but implants are cleaned in exactly the same way as natural teeth. Implants can also be used to support a bridge, eliminating the need for a removable partial denture. With good oral hygiene, dental implants should be able to last a lifetime.
"At the Total Family Dental Group, we have both an oral surgeon and a periodontist on our team; both have extensive training and experience placing dental implants," said Alex Mascola, COO and General Manager.
