Why are dental implants so popular for tooth replacement?

Do you have late-stage periodontal disease and are noticing loose teeth? Are you or your dentist concerned that your root canal may fail and require replacement? Are you looking for ways to rejuvenate and restore the function of your smile after tooth loss and extraction? The team at Peninsula Dental Implant Center encourages you to consider the many advantages of a tooth replacement option known as dental implants. 

Dental implants are one of several tooth replacement solutions, but one of the most popular amongst our patients here in San Carlos and nearby Menlo Park, Redwood City, San Mateo, and Palo Alto, California.

What are dental implants, and how do they restore the smile?

Our team encourages patients exploring their options to consider using dental implants to replace one or more teeth. These titanium posts are placed by a dentist into the bone of the natural jaw during oral surgery, creating a false tooth root that can be covered with various restorations depending on one’s needs. These implants are solid, using the natural bone of the jaw to hold them in place and ensure they are permanent. The abutment is the fixture on the top of the implant used to hold a bridge, denture, or dental crown, depending on the patient’s needs.

Why are dental implants so popular?

There are several benefits to dental implants that make them a highly desirable option for many patients who talk to Dr. Shivani Gupta of Peninsula Dental Implant Center. Dental implants:

• Are permanent, lasting many years with proper care
• Are strong and durable as they use natural bone for their foundation
• Look and function just like one’s natural teeth once did
• Can maintain natural bone, reducing the risk of bone resorption following tooth extraction or loss
• Are affordable when considering their longevity and how long the tooth implants can last with proper care
