Great Achievements in Dentistry
By the Premier Dental Esthetics team, led by Dr. Peter S. Young, DDS, MAGD
Dental implants are one of the greatest advances in the field of dentistry. They are an artificial tooth root that is surgically implanted into the jaw of a patient, to replace a missing root. The implant, in turn, can support an artificial tooth. Dental implants are available from Premier Dental Esthetics in Arcadia.
The idea of a dental implant actually goes back at least a thousand years. But implants as we know them today date back to the early 1950s. One of their great benefits is that they help to prevent bone loss, which is common in people who have lost one of their natural teeth.
In practical terms, the great thing about implants is that they function like a natural tooth. Implants are typically made of titanium, and they fuse to the patient’s jaw. They integrate so well with the bone that the body does not recognize them as a foreign object, and try to reject them.
Dental implants can be used to replace a single tooth, or they can be used as anchors for dentures. Dentures may be more affordable, but because they are removable, most patients find that they can be unreliably loose. They can also affect the ability to enjoy food. These are not issues with implant-supported dentures.
Dental implants from Premier Dental Esthetics in Arcadia are the closest thing to getting back a natural tooth. Find out more by scheduling a consultation today.
