Dental Implants in Orange County

Dental implants are one of the best ways to replace missing teeth. Generally are titanium screws which are placed in the position in which the tooth would normally. Titanium metal has proven that the human body usually accepted, and bone adheres to the material, fixing it in place. Titanium is the same metal as has been used for many years for procedures such as hip and knee replacements. Dental implants have been used for many years, and the technology has steadily improved to where it is today with a high success rate. Our doctor of dental implants offers a lifetime warranty for implants placed.

Advantages of dental implants:

1. A Unlike a fixed dental bridge, neighboring teeth need not be grinded to be used as abutments for the bridge. The implant replaces the missing tooth, independently of the neighboring teeth.
2. When a tooth is extracted, at the extraction site, begins to take place in bone loss. After a year, the loss will begin to compromise the roots of adjacent teeth. An implant acts as the root of a tooth and holding the bone, stimulating the surrounding bone tissue to regenerate.

Permanent Dentures

For those who have had to live with dentures, denture that is held in place with some implants, you can make all the difference. With only 3 or 4 implants, you may have a plastic upper denture without covering their mouth, and is held firmly in place. Similarly, with 3 or 4 implants, the bottom plate will not be lost when you speak. This procedure has changed the lives of many people.

How does it work:

The implants are placed in the jawbone, and after 4 months, are typically ready to be activated. Instead of placing a cap on the implant, a “locator” is set at the top. The pager has a small knob that fits into a connector “O” ring that is placed inside the teeth. The teeth simply snaps into place locators.

Dental Bridge

A post is placed on a tooth that has undergone a root canal in order to strengthen, since now it is weak and drained. It’s like putting loaves in concrete. Because a tooth with a root canal has no blood flow, it is technically dead, and become brittle. Without the post, it could break into the gumline.

There are two types of poles generally use:

1. The first is a prefabricated post fiberglass. This type of pole works best when the tooth still has a good structure, and has not been greatly weakened after drilling all caries.
2. The other post is a cast, made of metal by a dental laboratory, to fit exactly inside the tooth. This type of post is the strongest, and is almost always used on molars.
After placing a post, generally a porcelain crown is recommended to seal the tooth.

White Fillings Compounds

Due to health problems of many patients , we do not use the old amalgam fillings . We use white composite resin fillings that match the color of your teeth . These fillers are made of a material which hardens in the mouth when the dentist happens UV light on it .
