Dental implants are titanium or zirconium posts that replace the missing tooth roots. The implant is securely rooted into the jawbone, integrating into the bone over a three-month period to become one with your natural structure. Dental implants become a permanent part of the mouth, and cannot slip out or break. The titanium or zirconia, the holistic alternative to titanium implants, serves as a secure foundation to support the permanent restoration. The restoration, also known as an artificial tooth, looks, feels and functions just like a real tooth, and restores patients’ abilities to chew, speak and smile with ease and comfort. The advantages of dental implants far outweigh the disadvantages of bridges or dentures. Patients with dental implants can floss between teeth regularly and with ease, the maintenance of implants is the same as how you would care for your natural teeth, and it is a cost effective alternative to the regular maintenance associated with dentures or flippers.

Dental implant surgery should be performed by a board certified periodontist in Sawtelle, because of their expertise, training and experience.
