In years past, options were somewhat limited for individuals missing a tooth or multiple teeth due to injury or periodontal disease. Although dentures and bridges are effective methods of restoring function for chewing, Dental Implants in San Bruno provide a permanent solution. Dental implants are popular because of reliability and confidence. Since a dental implant is a permanent treatment option wherein a titanium screw is inserted into the jawbone, the crown attached to the implant has a very stable root system. When an individual can tell no difference between his or her implant and natural teeth, there is more confidence in eating, smiling and speaking.
In addition to these factors, dental Implants in San Bruno are esthetically pleasing and conservative. Implants integrate into the existing structure of the jawbone, so bone loss and gum recession that typically accompany bridgework and dentures is prevented. Implants are conservative in that they do not require alteration of adjacent teeth for support, as is necessary with bridgework.
By educating our patients on the benefits of dental implants in San Bruno, we enable them to decide confidently on the best course of action to restore function and beauty to their smiles.Implants may be used to:
- Provide a permanent replacement for one or more teeth without relying on neighboring teeth
- Provide support for a full or partial denture
- Eliminate the need for a bridge or removable partial denture
Most people receive dental implants successfully. However, a consultation is necessary to evaluate the condition of gum tissue and bone in the jaw, as these are integral aspects affecting the success of an implant.
We understand that the way you feel about your smile impacts how you conduct yourself in your daily life. If you are embarrassed by the spaces left from missing teeth, and are interested in dental implants call us at San Bruno Center for Dental Medicine, Dr. Parker will help determine if this treatment is right for you.
