Dental implants are the best option for those with missing teeth to restore their smile to its full potential. It is dangerous to your dental health to not replace a missing tooth, as it can affect the teeth surrounding the area, and seriously alter their alignment.
Dental implants are comprised of two main parts – the crown, or the part that you see above your gums, and the root replacement, which lives in the jawbone. Your implant will be made of titanium or titanium alloy, as these materials are able to fuse with your jaw bone without causing infection. The process of getting a dental implant takes two visits. During the first visit, and expert in dental implants in Los Angeles will make sure there is space in the jaw bone, and insert the implant. Once inserted, it will immediately begin to heal and integrate with the jaw bone. After two to four months, you will return to your dentist in LA to receive a crown, which will protect your new “tooth” from any damage. The whole process will take between four and seven months.
Dental implants are the go-to option for when a patient is missing one or two teeth.
