Palo Alto - Dental Implants

The Implant

If you have a missing tooth, the dental implant is most probably the perfect solution for you.

Not only is it almost impossible to tell a dental implant from a real tooth but there are distinct health and convenience benefits associated with implants:

• Permanent and stable
  The implant is an artificial tooth root, surgically anchored into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth in place.
• Long-lasting
  The dental implant is an immediate and often life-long solution to tooth replacement.
• Preservation of facial appearance
  A lost tooth or missing teeth will result in bone shrinkage which may change the appearance of your face. Dental implants stop bone loss (resorption) and allow you to maintain your jaw structure.
• Maintenance of surrounding teeth
  If a missing tooth is not replaced, remaining teeth are unsupported and may drift, potentially jeopardizing the integrity of the jaw line and change the shape of your face.
• Look and feel of natural teeth
  Matched in size, shape, color and contour to your natural teeth and anchored securely with its ceramic crown, you will not be able to tell the dental implant from a real tooth.
• Convenience
  Eat and drink anything (corn on the cob).
• Restored smile and confidence
  The dental implants, customized to fit perfectly in your mouth, restore your confidence and your full smile.

Dental implants from your Palo Alto dentists can be used to permanently replace any number of missing teeth.

The implant process itself involves:

• Attaching the anchor directly to the jaw bone
• Allowing the jaw and gums to heal (which results in a strong bond between bone and anchor)
• Securing the customized, ceramic tooth to the anchor.

Strategically placed, dental implants can also be used to support permanently cemented bridges, eliminating the need for a removable denture.
