Our Glendale Dental Implant Dentists Optimize And Restore Smiles With Dental Implants

Written by Dr. McKay on Dec 4, 2018

Patients who are dealing with tooth loss generally have a number of concerns about their smiles, and their long-term dental realities. Our Glendale dental implant dentists help patients through the process of learning about tooth loss, and choosing the right restorative treatments for them. Today, we’re going to be discussing the most state-of-the-art treatment option available, the dental implant. Let’s get started!

The dental implant is unique in the world of restorative dentistry because it permanently anchored into the patient’s smile. Every dental implant has a titanium root that extends from the restoration down into the patient’s jawbone and gum tissue. As you would imagine, this implant root offers a number of benefits for the patient:

  • Increased stability for the replacement tooth
  • Permanence of the replacement tooth
  • Ease of care—you’ll be able to clean your teeth normally with a toothbrush, floss, and mouth rinse
  • Better jawbone health—the titanium root bonds with surrounding natural bone tissue and helps to prevent jawbone deterioration

Thanks to advancements in the world of restorative dentistry, our team now also uses implant roots to secure larger prostheses like dentures. When used with dentures, one only needs to insert a few strategically placed implant roots in order to hold the entire prosthesis in place.

The type of dental implant treatment that will be right for you will depend on a number of factors, including:

  • The extent of tooth loss you’re experiencing
  • Your ideal treatment timeline
  • The health and density of your jawbone tissue
  • Which teeth, specifically, you are missing

No matter what you end up doing to restore your smile, it is always in your best interest to pursue treatment as quickly as possible. The more time that goes by prior to treatment, the greater your risk of dealing with complications from tooth loss, including further tooth loss, jawbone deterioration, gum tissue damage, and shifting dental alignment.

Our Glendale dental implant dentists are here to give you all of the information you need about all of your restorative dentistry treatment options, including dental implants. When you schedule a consultation with our team, we’ll assess your smile and give you a better idea of whether implant technology may be right for you.
