Dental Implant Treatments in San Jose, CA
If you are suffering from a missing tooth or teeth, then dental implants may be the best restorative option for you. Missing teeth should never be ignored as they can cause further complications, such as tooth drifting or tooth decay, which can require complicated and expensive procedures to correct. Failure to replace a missing tooth can lead to jawbone deterioration and gum recession as well. When you chew, the impact on your teeth exercises your jawbone and gums. But, with the tooth missing, you are no longer getting the needed activity to maintain your jawbone and gum health. This can lead to facial deformation in the form of wrinkles or a sunken facial appearance.
Dental implants have quickly replaced dentures as the most popular form of tooth restoration currently available. This is primarily because of the unparalleled comfort and stability offered by dental implants. Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made out of titanium that are surgically fused to your jawbone. Through a process called osseointegration, the implants are accepted by the jawbone and surrounding gums as a natural part of the body. Because of this, dental implants work and feel exactly like natural teeth. And, because they are directly merged with the jawbone, they are permanent and should never loosen or move out of place. Because there are no moving pieces, like with dentures, your dental implants will not damage your surrounding natural teeth. Dental implants also require no extra maintenance to stay healthy. Simply continue brushing and flossing normally and your dental implants can last a lifetime.
