Tooth replacement options available in dental clinics today may seem overwhelming to patients. Fremont, CA area patients considering ways of replacing one or more teeth with a dental center may be unsure as to which option is right for them. Individuals who are thinking of long-term, reliable replacement options may want to work with Dr. Munira Lokhandwala of StarBrite Dental to discuss the benefits of dental implants.
The dental implant is a titanium post that looks like a tiny hardware screw. During oral surgery, Dr. Munira Lokhandwala places the implant into the jawbone. The implant placement stimulates the process of osseointegration, which is the growth of bone around the restoration. When this occurs, the implant is solidified in place and is ready for restoration. The implant can be restored in many different ways, depending on the needs of the patient. The replacement of a single tooth can be achieved in this manner, with a dental crown placed over the abutment of the implant above the gum line. Alternatively, patients can use the implants to anchor a dental bridge or a full denture in place. This can be done in replacing one or more teeth in the smile in a more permanent way.
