At Peninsula Dental Implant Center, Dr. Shivani Gupta is excited to offer patients solutions for their smile when tooth loss is about to occur or has already occured. Our dental implant center offers patients who are looking for a professional “near me” to place and restore implants in the Palo Alto, CA area.
How are dental implants used?
Dental implants are the “gold standard” in tooth replacement. These restorations are made of titanium and help maintain the bone structure of the jaw. Because they are firmly set in the jawbone, they are strong, durable, and fully functional as natural teeth once were. These implants can be restored in various ways. The abutment of the dental implant can hold a dental crown, a dental bridge, or a denture, depending on the patient’s unique situation.
Which type and brands of implants are used?
We offer either bone level or tissue level dental implants, depending on the state of your jawbone. Dental implants are made of titanium alloy, which promote bone growth and integration. We use premium implants manufactured in the USA, and Straumann or Noble Biocare may be inserted upon request. The success or failure of implants primarily rests on the surgical abilities of the dentist placing them and providing the appropriate crowns and bridges even though the brand or type is important.
Who is a candidate for dental implant services?
Patients considering dental implants will go through an evaluation to make sure they are a good candidate. This is to ensure the smile is healthy and free from decay and disease. Our office uses 3D, CT scan to view the jawbone structure and ensure there is enough bone to successfully place the dental implant. While most patients are good candidates, those who aren’t may consider other options such as zygomatic implants, dental bridges or partial dentures to restore the function and appearance of their smile. Our team can assist in choosing the most appropriate option for you!
The pros of cons of teeth in a day dental implants
When you visit Dr. Shivani Gupta at our Palo Alto 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 based on the convenience of this technology. 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 about 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.
