At Modern American Dentistry, our dental implant dentists understand how you feel, which is why they offer quality dental implants for all degrees of tooth loss.
If you have a missing tooth or full tooth loss, dental implants in Woodland Hills or Manhattan Beach, CA can help!
What Is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a thin post. This post is implanted in your jaw, bonds with your jawbone, and creates a stable foundation for a natural-looking tooth restoration.
Dental implants are considered the gold standard in tooth replacement because they mimic your natural teeth. This includes look, feel, and care. In other words, you restoration looks completely natural, feels natural, and requires no special maintenance other than good oral hygiene, twice-yearly dental exams, and regular dental cleanings—no different from your natural teeth.
Dental Implants for Full Tooth Loss
If you have multiple missing teeth, an implant-supported bridge is a great option, but if you’re missing all your teeth, implant-supported dentures are simply the best option around.
Implant-supported dentures mean that an entire denture can be supported using only a few dental implant posts. Dental implant posts are just that sturdy!
Implant-supported dentures mean no adhesives, no realigns, no slippage, and no diminished bone loss in the jaw (when teeth are missing, jawbones shrink). Dental implants are so much like natural tooth roots, your jaw remains viable and present.
Are Dental Implants Right for Me?
One of our Woodland Hills or Manhattan Beach, CA dentists will assess your teeth and gums, including your jawbone, to make sure dental implants are the best choice for your tooth loss. During this assessment, you are encouraged to ask questions or share any concerns about the dental implant process.
