All About Los Angeles Dental Implants

By Audrey McGuire


Slipping and clicking while talking is mostly caused by missing teeth or gaps in an individual's mouth and can cause one to suffer from irritation and pain while chewing not mentioning making the individual look older than he or she actually is. These and more factors make you a very good candidate for Los Angeles dental implants as the alternative for replacing the missing teeth. Installing the implant gives a set of natural looking teeth that feel like the real thing.

The health of the teeth is a blessing that many individuals take for granted. The loss of a single or a couple of teeth has a major effect on many individuals' confidence, enjoyment of favorite meals as well as smiles. The implant is a piece of technology that takes you closer to achieving a tooth replacements that is as secure as your very own.

Installation involves a few steps that will provide you with a set of teeth that you can show off in many social and regular routines. For one, your dentist has to do a thorough investigation into the condition of your mouth, teeth and jaw. The examination aids him or her to see if you qualify for the installation of an implant as well as decide which type is best suited for you.

You need to be aware of two procedures that are carried out surgically on a majority of patients when placing an implant into your mouth. For one the dentist may opt to have your new set of teeth fixed onto an implant installed on your jawbone. The other involves the use of small incisions that are later stitched up allowing the anchor to bond naturally with the bone.

The state of your general health has a large bearing on whether you do qualify for any type of implant. This is because some conditions such as diabetes, heart issues tend to interfere with the healing process after undergoing the surgery. Your dentist has to ensure that your jaw is strong and healthy enough to support the installation of any type of implant.

Three types of installations are available, the root form implant is shaped to look like the tooth of a root and is the most common when there is plenty of space in the jawbone with a narrow jawbone requiring bone grafting. The Plate form implant is for those with a jawbone that is too narrow to support bone grafting making use of incisions to make the bone ready for implantation and closed with a number of stitches. When there is little space, the subperiosteal implant is highly recommended and it rests on the jawbone.

Classifications are also diverse and they all depend on a number of factors including material used, surface of the implant, body design, design of attachment and implant. A good example includes the attachment mechanism classification, which includes osseointegration and fibro integration. Body design on the other hand include hollow, vented, solid, perforated, plateaus, threaded and cylindrical.

On receiving Los Angeles dental implants, you should commit yourself to keeping them structurally healthy through a meticulous oral hygiene program. Also, ensure to visit your dentist every so often to gain the most from the long-term success of the implant installed. Though they are more expensive when compared to other forms of tooth replacements, many insurance providers offer coverage for less than ten per cent of the total fees.
