Dental Implants & Improving Smiles

Dental Implants & Improving Smiles with San Diego Dentist Dr. Paul Coleman

If you have missing teeth, dental implants are a great option to improve the appearance of your smile. This is a permanent cosmetic dentistry procedure that replaces the full tooth including the tooth’s root. Dental implants can be performed on one tooth or on many teeth.
Missing teeth need to be replaced as soon as possible to avoid many tooth problems that may be difficult to correct. Teeth may shift, the jawbone can deteriorate, and gum decay or disease can develop as a result of missing teeth.

The Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental bridges and partial dentures are options for replacing missing teeth. However, dental implants are much more durable and longer lasting because the tooth and the root are replaced. The tooth replacement ends up being stronger as a result.

Oral Surgery to Improve Health

Oral surgery can help improve your health and there are many reasons for having oral surgery:

  • Extracting impacted or rotten teeth
  • Removing wisdom teeth
  • Having dental Implants
  • Fitting dentures correctly

Impacted teeth can lead to many health problems such as the crowding or shifting of teeth, jaw pain, and the growth of cysts and tumors. Any of your teeth may become impacted. The most common are the bicuspids and wisdom teeth. It is important to remove your wisdom teeth before they have the chance to grow in misaligned or become impacted.

Dental implants consist of an implant, an abutment, and a porcelain crown. The implant is first inserted in the jawbone by the surgeon. Then an abutment is attached to the implant by a cosmetic surgeon. Lastly, the porcelain crown is placed on the abutment. This procedure results in a natural looking new tooth.

Are You Eating What You Want, Or What You can?

Implats can restore your dental health

Do you have trouble eating certain foods? Do missing teeth or poorly fitting dentures determine what you can eat? Wouldn’t it be great to eat anything you want, just like when you were a kid? How much would that change the quality of your life?

 

If you have difficulty eating certain foods, or you avoid food you would love to eat because of missing teeth or poorly fitting dentures, you could be a candidate for dental implants.

 

Dental implants are titanium screws that resemble the roots of the teeth and are placed into the jaw where a tooth was lost. The implant knits to the bone over a couple of months, and once secure, is restored with a crown or non-removable bridge.

 

Implants can also be used to retain removable full or partial dentures. They can make your denture so secure, you will be able to eat whatever you want without your denture moving all over!
