If patients don’t seek restoration of their smile after a loss or extraction of natural teeth, they may be putting themselves at risk for a variety of other problems over time. This includes shifting of existing teeth within the dental arch, causing unwanted spacing, and even resulting in misalignment. Additionally, their smile is negatively impacted by spaces left behind, and patients may even have difficulty eating or speaking clearly.

Fremont, CA, area dentists, Drs. Munira Lokhandwala and Maryum Tariq believe that working with a specialist that provides dental implants is the first step in the right direction. With dental implants, patients can enjoy long-term restoration while maintaining natural bone and appearance. At StarBrite Dental, we encourage patients to speak to us about the benefits of placing and restoring dental implants within the smile.

What is a dental implant?

A dental implant is best described as a replacement for a tooth root made of titanium, which is a metal that is biocompatible with the body and effective at providing the right foundation for:

Crowns
Bridges
Dentures

This versatility is what makes the dental implant a popular option for many of our patients, and we continue to recommend them when patients are potential candidates. Dental implants will last a lifetime with proper care, ensuring patients have a long-term, non-removable option available to them for enhancing the smile and restoring function and beauty.

Who is the most suitable candidate?

The best candidates for dental implants are individuals who have enough bone structure to hold the implant in place. The patient should also be free from cavities and periodontal disease, which can put the dental implant at risk of failing. X-rays are a great way for our team to determine the candidacy of a patient who is considering this restoration.
