Dental implants are the perfect solution for replacing missing teeth. They effectively restore aesthetics and function, from the most visible teeth at the front to those at the back that are crucial for chewing a wide variety of foods. Implants help you regain a beautiful and healthy smile.
Unlike bridges or removable dentures that rest on the gums, dental implants are surgically placed beneath the gums. The replacement tooth on an implant emerges from the gums just like a natural tooth, creating a life-like appearance. The implant post in the jawbone acts like a real tooth root, promoting bone health and preventing the sunken look that often accompanies tooth loss.
Teeth can be lost due to many factors, such as gum disease, trauma, sports injuries, and infections. Losing a single tooth can disrupt the alignment of surrounding teeth, affect your bite, and alter your speech and facial appearance.
A single tooth implant offers a permanent, stable, and visually indistinguishable solution from your natural teeth, suitable for use anywhere in the mouth.
Traditional bridges consist of crowns anchored on adjacent teeth with a prosthetic tooth in between. In contrast, a bridge implant uses permanent posts for a more stable, hygienic, and natural-looking result. This method not only fills gaps but supports the remaining teeth, enhancing oral health and maintaining a youthful appearance.
Each patient's needs are unique, which is why treatment plans are tailored specifically to each individual. Whether you have one missing tooth or multiple, Dr. Zobair Baha at Millennium Dental Implants in Encinitas, CA, excels in delivering the best possible solutions to preserve your natural teeth and replace those that are lost. Prepare to be amazed by your new smile!
