Dr Paul Coleman, San Diego Cosmetic Dentist, Losing a Tooth, Dentures

The loss of a tooth, no matter what the reason, can have a significant effect on your self-esteem, confidence and facial appearance... not to mention the rest of your mouth.

Dental Implants enable you to replace missing teeth and recapture the beauty and health of your smile after tooth loss.

At the Coleman Center for Cosmetic Dentistry, we understand that losing a tooth can be a traumatic experience. Our teeth play an essential role in our day-to-day lives and a missing tooth can interrupt your dietary and oral hygiene habits.

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.
