Dental Implants in Palm Springs, CA
In the distant past, replacement options were few after losing a tooth. Most people settled for a bridge or a denture. Those are still good solutions, but dental implants have revolutionized tooth replacement. A dental implant is like a small post, usually made of titanium or an alloy of the same, screwed into the jawbone. This post then replicates the missing tooth root’s function. A crown, mimicking the appearance of a natural tooth, is then affixed to the dental implant.
For many clients seeking a tooth replacement, our Palm Spring dentist advises a dental implant for the following reasons:
- Natural Appearance and Functionality: Titanium is incredibly biocompatible and bonds with living bone tissue within months. Therefore, dental implants are an excellent replacement for missing roots. Crowns attached to implants are fashioned to resemble teeth perfectly. Few people can distinguish a dental implant from the natural teeth surrounding it. And unlike traditional dentures that usually have some amount of give, dental implants provide a solid foundation for crowns, bridges, and even dentures.
- Longevity: While dentures and bridges need periodic replacement or adjustments, dental implants are there to stay. With proper care, a dental implant and its crown can last a lifetime.
- Bone Preservation: Your jawbone requires regular stimulation from your teeth to stay healthy. If a tooth is missing, the bone starts deteriorating. Dental implants provide the necessary stimulation to the jawbone, preventing bone loss — a feature not offered by any other tooth replacement solution.
- Protection of Neighboring Teeth: Dental implants stand alone. They are anchored solely to the jawbone, ensuring neighboring teeth remain untouched and undamaged.
- Hassle-free Maintenance: Detachable dentures come with a regimen of overnight soaking and the use of other maintenance products. Removable bridges also have their particular care requirements. Dental implants require the same maintenance as your natural teeth. With daily oral hygiene and periodic dental check-ups, they are set for life.
