Get a Second Chance Thanks to Dental Implants Missing teeth can cause a number of problems, from impaired eating and speaking to the shifting of remaining teeth. Furthermore, deterioration of bone results from the loss of teeth and eventual shifting of nearby teeth. Whether a single tooth is missing or all teeth are unsalvageable, dental implants are long lasting, aesthetically pleasing and structurally sound options. Durable and discrete, dental implants consist of a synthetic tooth root, made of titanium, to which a replacement tooth is attached. Our East Bay Area patients can seek dental implants as an alternative to bridges, partials or denturesthey look great and help keep your naturally strong chewing power. Because implants are so enduring, they are cost-effective and require less care and maintenance.
The Procdeure Dental Implants take three appointments to complete. First, the artificial root must be placed in the jawbone. After a period healing, known as osseointegration, an abutment is placed on the root portion. Finally, the new tooth is attached to the implant!
At Pleasant Valley Dental, our patients often are surprised at the ease and comfort of the procedure. With proper care and dental hygiene, many patients at our practice find their dental implants can last for many years or even a lifetime.
