Dr. Emil Hawary, a dental implant expert with 20+ years of experience serving Laguna Beach, California, can create amazing smiles for those in need. Dental implants are a great solution for replacing missing teeth. They involve a titanium rod fused to the jawbone, acting as a tooth root that supports a dental crown. For multiple missing teeth, a few implants can support bridges, dentures, or partial dentures. This method provides natural-looking and functioning replacement teeth, allowing for proper chewing, speaking, and smiling.
While dentures and bridges 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.
Did you know that losing a tooth can lead to a reduction in bone volume and density over time? This process, called atrophy, occurs due to the lack of stimulation to the supporting jawbone. As the jawbone diminishes, it can cause the overlying muscle and skin to cave in, making a person look older than their actual age. Fortunately, dental implants provide a reliable solution to this problem, allowing patients of all ages (except growing children) to replace missing teeth and regain their natural smile.
The best candidates for dental implants in Laguna 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.
