Implant Dentistry

If you have missing teeth, traditional dentures are not your only option. In fact, a much more natural-looking and feeling dental procedure can replace missing teeth for a better aesthetic and improved chewing and speaking – and the best part is, it’s permanent. Dental implants from our Beverly Hills, California cosmetic dentist can replace what you have lost with incredible functionality and results that both look and feel like natural teeth.

Dental Implants

Dental implants make it possible for people who have lost teeth due to decay, gum disease, injury, congenital defects, and other reasons to acquire permanent, natural-looking replacement teeth. Missing teeth can not only make many people self-conscious when smiling or talking, they can also affect chewing and speaking. Unlike bridges and dentures, dental implants provide a durable, long-lasting replacement for missing teeth. With dental implants, there is less risk of gum irritation and no slipping, as dental implants are custom-designed for each patient and are made to become permanent parts of the mouth.

The Dental Implant Procedure

The dental implant procedure involves the placement of a thin rod is anchored to the jawbone in the area of the missing tooth. Over a period of about three to six months, this rod will fuse itself to the jaw, becoming a permanent part of your teeth. Once the rod has anchored and healed, Dr. Kevin Sands will attach a custom-made crown that is color-tinted to blend in with your natural teeth.

The result is a tooth or teeth that look and feel like those surrounding them, improving chewing and speaking and enhancing the aesthetic of your smile. Dental implants can give you a perfect fit and provide a more aesthetically pleasing and more comfortable alternative to other treatments for missing teeth.
