Patients near the Millbrae area who are considering treatment for missing teeth might feel overwhelmed at their options. They may fear that the decision they make is not going to fit their needs. However, with the help of a dental implant clinic in the area of San Carlos called Peninsula Dental Implant Center, patients can chat with a professional about their desires and find out from a dentist if dental implants are right for them.

What are dental implants?

Dr. Shivani Gupta describes the dental implant as a tooth root replacement that can be restored over the top in many ways to replace one or more teeth. These replacements are small posts made of titanium. An oral surgeon will place the implant into the bone of the jaw, and the abutment on top is restored with a crown, bridge, or denture. Dental implants are highly desirable for many reasons. They are long-lasting, beautiful, natural-looking, and fully functional, just like natural teeth. Additionally, they also maintain bone of the jaw, eliminating that sunken-in appearance that often develops in denture-wearers.

Are dental implants versatile?

Our clinic finds that dental implants are one of the most versatile dental restorations available on the market today. These restorations can replace one, several, or all teeth in the dental arch by providing the foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture. Dental implants cannot be surpassed in function with any other restoration, including bridges and partial dentures. The implant can be restored on the abutment in many different ways, ensuring patients have restorations that are best suited for their unique situation.

The pros of cons of teeth in a day dental implants

When you visit Dr. Shivani Gupta at our Millbrae location for “Teeth in a day” same-day dental implants, you will immediately reap the many benefits this groundbreaking treatment offers. Our patients report high satisfaction levels due to the convenience of same-day dental implants. No uncomfortable partial or complete dentures are required during the healing time associated with traditional dental implants. This is great news for those patients who are highly anxious when considering living without their teeth for any set amount of time.

However, as with any dental or medical treatment, there are some drawbacks you may want to know about. There is no shortcut when it comes to the process of osseointegration. The bone-to-implant integration process must still take place, meaning there are some restrictions you will need to follow during the 6-8 weeks following your implant procedure. Patients must stick to a soft diet, avoiding hard or crunchy foods such as nuts or some uncooked fruits and vegetables while integration completes.

Teeth in a day are more affordable than you may think!

“Teeth in a day” implants cover the cost of everything: the procedure, the implants, and the costs associated with same-day implant fabrication. Please schedule an appointment at our Millbrae office to discuss price particulars with our team.
