Decay, gum disease and breakage continue to damage people's teeth. Today, many people are opting for dental implants instead of dentures or bridges to fix tooth loss caused by these problems. Dental implants replace tooth roots and create a foundation for replacement teeth that may be fixed or removable. 

Dental implant Benefits

Dental implants offer a host of benefits, such as better appearance, easier speech and greater comfort in daily life. Recipients can also chew food more easily and enjoy improved dental health. Thanks to the durability of dental implants, recipients have few worries about breakage and never have to deal with taking out dentures or caring for them. Almost anybody eligible for standard tooth extraction can receive dental implants, and the procedure is successful up to 98 percent of the time.

Our expert in dental implant in Escondido gives each patient an individualized treatment plan tailored to their needs. The dental implants, which are composed of titanium, are inserted into bone sockets left by the extracted teeth. The implants are sealed into place as the jaw heals, a process which takes anywhere from six to 12 weeks. The replacement teeth are color-matched to look natural, and they function well because of their solid foundation. With regular dental care, dental implants may never have to be replaced.
