A dental implant refers to a titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone, to function as an artificial tooth root, to which the dentist can mount your replacement teeth in the area. Daniel S. Guindi, DDS can recommend dental implants in Glendora, CA to help restore your self-esteem because they look and feel like normal teeth. If you were shy or embarrassed to smile because of missing teeth, you will feel more comfortable after the procedure. And with the replacement tooth firmly anchored to your jaw bone, you will be able to eat and speak easily, and enjoy your normal daily activities.
Dental Implants Glendora, CA - How They Work
Dental implants are a permanent solution for tooth restoration that involves surgical placement of a small titanium post that will bond to the jaw bone, providing a strong anchor for the custom-made crown that will be placed above the gums. This post acts as a tooth root.
This solution provides a false tooth that is not only natural-looking, but also as strong and firm as your natural tooth, allowing you to function like normal. Dental implants are standalone, meaning that they need to be supported by adjacent teeth. In fact, they fill a gap and prevent adjacent teeth from shifting, which helps to maintain proper structure and function.
They can help to restore your biting, chewing, and speaking efficiency, and smile and enjoy your favorite foods with great confidence. Dental implants also help to retain natural facial structure by stimulating the jawbone to prevent resorption of the bone. This in turn prevents sagging facial appearance that causes you to appear older.
