Dental Implants Can Offer Corona Del Mar Residents Best Teeth Replacement Solution, PART 1

This two-part article series provides a list of reasons why dental implants are considered by dental healthcare professionals to be the best teeth replacement technology on the market.

An accidental fall; a fender bender in your car without wearing your seatbelt; a stray olive pit in your salad; a toothache you never got seen to...

All of these and more can cause one or more of your original adult teeth to fall out or, more commonly, to require extraction by a dental healthcare professional. The good news is that there are a number of teeth replacement technologies on the market that can repair a gappy smile, but dental implants, according to Corona Del Mar dentists, are among the best.

In order to better understand what this technology is and what it has to offer patients in need of new teeth, we spoke to a dental implant surgeon and in this two-part article series we shall reveal what he had to say.

Let's begin with an explanation: What are dental implants?

Answer: "Dental implants are devices used to replace the roots of missing teeth. They function as a sort of platform or foundation, which provides sturdy, fixed support for the actual tooth replacement component. This can either come in the form of a prosthetic or ceramic bridge, when multiple teeth are being replaced, or a single ceramic tooth crown."

What do dental implants look like?

Answer: "An implant looks similar to a tiny screw. They're fabricated from medical grade titanium, which is the only suitable metal on the periodic table that is also highly biocompatible. This means that the implant – once placed - is unlikely to be rejected by the body. Your bone will actually biologically fuse to the surface of the titanium implant and this is how it and the replacement teeth it supports become non-removable."

Name three of the most important reasons you might recommend dental implants to Corona Del Mar residents who need new teeth?

Answer: "When recommending treatment to a patient, we would like to know that the solutions provided to them would enable them to live their life in comfort and with a healthier self-esteem. We would also like to ensure that their oral health isn't negatively affected by the new tooth or new teeth we have provided the and it's for these reasons that we find dental implants offer Corona Del Mar residents best teeth replacement solution.

"Number one, they feel, function and look very similar to natural teeth. In fact, dental implants feel more like natural teeth than most of the other technologies on the market. Number two; they can provide patients with a beautiful, healthy looking smile, which promotes excellent confidence and a much better self-esteem. Number three; dental implants promote excellent oral health. They don't typically harm the neighboring teeth and they help to maintain the health and bulk of the underlying jawbone."

"These benefits are unique to dental implants, which is why you will find that most Corona Del Mar dentists and healthcare professionals recommend them to their patients should they require teeth replacement."
