Why you might need the Good dental implants in San Jose

For the person with the perfect smile, this article isn’t for you. This article is for the person who is struggling with imperfect teeth, teeth that pain, teeth that are either partially broken or crumbling in your mouth, teeth that need to be extracted, and teeth that need the care of a dental professional.

The symptoms above are the consequences of poor dental hygiene or lack of proper oral care. Many times, the lack of proper dental care and poor dental hygiene can lead to tooth loss.

What causes tooth loss?

Tooth loss can be caused by many different factors. These include a poor diet high in acidic foods and beverages, not brushing or flossing regularly, certain medical conditions, and accidents involving the mouth.

When tooth loss occurs, you don’t have to live the rest of your life with unsightly gaps or annoying spaces when you chew. Dental implants are the most effective option for getting the best smile.



Dental Implants
Video Transcript

Dental implants are titanium roots that are replaced within the jaw bones to resemble a tooth or a group of teeth. A screw is inserted into the gums and into the jaw bone. A porcelain crown is then attached to the screw to become the new tooth or teeth. They can be used to support dental prestices including crowns dentures and bridges. Today’s treatments are so natural looking no one will know you had surgery. There is approximately a 95 percent success rate for all implants with modern advancements in dentistry some implants can be restored immediately with life like all porcelain crowns. For more details ask your dentist.


What are dental implants?

Dental implants are literally metal screws that are surgically implanted into the jawbone to provide a permanent anchor for crowns and dentures. The implant is usually made of titanium, which is strong and integrates into the body easily. During the dental implant procedure, the dentist will drill a hole into the jawbone and screw the implants in. A temporary cap is put in place to allow the area to heal and protect it from infection. After a period of 6 weeks, you’ll return to the office where the dental crowns or dentures are put into place, completing your smile.

How will dental implants help?

Dental implants, when combined with dental crowns, can complete your smile and help build your self-esteem. With dental implants, you can have the smile you’ve always wanted but never thought you could get.

The whole team is outstanding. I have been going there for the past 14 months. I had several procedures done over the span of those 14 months ranging from cleaning to bone grafting, tooth extraction and implants. During all those visits, I found the whole team very compassionate. Their goal was to make me feel better. I strongly believe that it is not just one person who makes the experience good or bad, it is always the teams that can make it happen. And Dr. Munira’s team certainly made me feel extremely comfortable. They were very flexible towards adjusting appointments, extremely personable, very passionate and knowledgeable about their work. All the doctors were not only good doctors but very good teachers as well. They explained the whole process in a detailed manner with pros and cons. They made an otherwise expensive process very affordable. All in all, my experience was fantastic. They gave me my smile back; the least they deserve is appreciation and due credit. I strongly recommend this place.
