Dr. Emil Hawary has over 20 years of experience in dental implants in Huntington Beach, California and can create a fantastic smile for anyone in need. Dental implants are an excellent option for those looking to replace missing teeth. They involve a titanium rod being fused to the jawbone to function as a tooth root that supports a dental crown. For multiple missing teeth, a few implants can support a bridge, dentures, or partial dentures. This method will provide replacement teeth that look and function like natural teeth, allowing for proper chewing, speaking, and smiling.
While dentures and bridges that are supported by the natural tooth root can fix many problems associated with missing teeth, they cannot prevent future bone loss like dental implants can. This is why dental implants are usually recommended for most patients in need of tooth replacement. By choosing dental implants, patients can enjoy a more natural-looking smile that will function just like their natural teeth.
It's a little-known fact that when a tooth is lost, it can cause a reduction in bone volume and density over time (a process known as atrophy) due to the lack of stimulation to the supporting jawbone. As the jawbone decreases, the overlying muscle and skin can also cave in, which can result in a person appearing older than their actual age. However, dental implants offer a solution to this problem and can be used to replace missing teeth in patients of all ages, with the exception of growing children.
The best candidates for dental implants in Huntington Beach are individuals who have good general and oral health, adequate bone in the jaw to support the dental implant, and healthy gum tissue free of periodontal disease. Although ideal candidates are those who have good oral and general health and have adequate bone mass, dental implants may be used on patients who do not meet these criteria. Dental implants have been successfully placed in those who have existing medical conditions, such as high blood pressure and diabetes. Those who have lost their teeth and have experienced bone loss as a result of periodontal disease or decay have also experienced good results with dental implants. Certain procedures, such as ridge augmentation or a sinus lift, may be necessary to improve jaw deformities or to ensure that the dental implants have enough bone to attach to. During a consultation with a dental professional, the individual's health history and oral and dental structures will be assessed to determine if they are a candidate for the procedure.
Dental Implants Procedure Process:
The exact number of dental implants required to provide adequate, long-lasting support depends on many things, including the amount and quality of existing bone, the bite, and other anatomic factors
Dental implants may be the perfect solution for those who need to replace one, several, or all of their teeth. During the initial consultation for teeth replacement, a patient's entire smile is evaluated to determine the best treatment plan and to guarantee the most visually pleasing outcome. Our team at Art of Dentistry Institute strives to ensure that your desired results are achieved in the most effective way possible.
