Are Dental Implants Right for Me?

Dental implants are the most advanced way to replace lost teeth. An implant is an artificial root that is inserted into the jawbone. Once it has been implanted, the bone grows around the implant, securing it into the jaw so that it can be topped with a crown. If multiple teeth are missing, several implants can be used to support a bridge or denture. Our dentist in Huntington Beach can help you decide if dental implants are right for you.

You might be a candidate for dental implants if you:

•    Are missing one or more teeth
•    Want a natural-looking restoration that does not rely on healthy teeth for support
•    Prefer a restoration that is as stable as your own teeth
•    Want a replacement that can be brushed and flossed like a natural tooth
•    Want a permanent restoration

Although dental implants can take longer to place, they can last a lifetime if they are taken care of as recommended. Proper brushing, flossing, and regular dental checkups are critical to the success of your dental implants.
