Implants

Quality dental implants, like the ones offered at Long Beach Family Dentist, can provide impressive results for both cosmetic and functionality purposes. They can provide a modern solution to replacing teeth that may have been lost due to dental trauma, decay, or any other potential reason for tooth extraction. The best feature about dental implants in Long Beach is that they are permanently inserted into the gum tissue and jaw bone, allowing for a long-lasting and beautiful addition to any smile. A tooth implant typically consists of two individual aspects that come together in order to provide the closest comparison to our natural teeth that is currently available in the technological world of dentistry. The first component provides patients with an artificial root that is carefully and securely inserted within the gums to create the permanent effect and a completely natural sensation after healing, and while in full functionality. The second component usually consists of a dental crown that will be placed on top of this foundation, which is custom made to an individual’s dental profile to allow for an absolute perfect fit and appearance upon completion of treatment. Dental implants allow for our patients to regain their best smile and still maintain the best functionality out of their tooth replacement.

Receiving a high-quality dental implant in Long Beach is a multi-step process that allows for patients to obtain a fully personalized tooth replacement that’s built to last for many years to come. When you schedule your very first dental appointment in pursuit of implants, the dentist will first be sure to give you a thorough cleaning and examination in order to properly evaluate the specific circumstances of your situation, and to determine any prior treatment that may be needed in order to move forward in the process. Once a treatment plan has been determined, the dentist will arrange for the patient to have their artificial root surgically implanted into the gum and bone tissue using a durable titanium component. At this point, the implant will then need time to heal and the dentist will utilize a dental impression of your mouth to determine the specifications for your tooth crown, which will then be carefully created within a lab to provide a perfect match for your teeth. After healing has occurred, the dentist will then call for you to return to the office for placement of the dental crown. During this process, we will ensure that the result matches in size, shape, and color to the rest of your natural teeth, as well as making any minor adjustments that might be needed to provide patients with a comfortable bite and overall feel. Once the placement and comfort of the dental crown are ideal, the dentist will then permanently bond it to your artificial root and polish the surface of any imperfections. Follow-up appointments may also be provided to patients in order to assure optimal results and satisfaction, allowing for any minor adjustments to be made if needed.
