What Are Dental Implants?
Seeking professional care for damaged teeth is vital to the general wellness and function of your smile. To allow San Ramon, CA men and women to safely move past extracted or lost teeth, Dr. Rupam Khanna is incredibly pleased to provide realistic dental implants to accomplish tooth replacement. A dental implant utilizes a metal post that acts as an artificial tooth root, and a personalized crown, bridge, or denture replaces the erupted portion of the missing tooth (or numerous teeth). If you have missing teeth or need a tooth removed, come in for a dental exam at San Ramon Family Dental and ask about your fixed implant solutions.
What Is the Treatment Process?
The treatment for fixed implants includes the surgical positioning of the implant and the attachment of a lifelike, customized replacement (like partial pieces, crowns, or bridges). Once the area is ready for surgery, it will be dulled with anesthesia. Oral-conscious or IV techniques could additionally be used to allow you to feel more at ease during your operation. The titanium screw will be strategically secured within your jaw at a particular location and given time to become one with the jaw through a process known as osseointegration. Once the implant area has completely healed (commonly several months later), Dr. Khanna will position a specially made fixed crown, denture, or full-arch restoration and check the alignment of the bite.
What Are the Benefits of Dental Implants?
Dental implants are generally preferred due to the substantial scope of positive advantages they provide. As tooth restorations, oral implants:
- Could increase your self-assurance while talking and when your teeth show
- Fuse with the jawbone to maintain jawbone wellness and structure
- Act similar to normal teeth in performance and visual appeal
- Allow for greater chewing force and stability of tooth substitutes
- Do not make use of neighboring teeth to remain in place
- Promote the intake of a healthful diet
- Act as a durable tooth replacement alternative
