If you have missing teeth and have gaps in your smile then it is more than likely that you could be suffering from clicking and slipping when talking, pain and irritation while chewing, as well as looking older that just about everybody around you. This makes you a perfect candidate for Los Angeles dental implants as alternatives to the missing teeth. Installation of an implant results in you having natural looking teeth that work and feel as your very own.

Healthy teeth are taken for granted by many individuals to the point where they do not take proper care of them. When a tooth or two goes missing, the person's smile and confidence take a heavy beating. An implant is simply a technology that seeks to replace the teeth and is a permanent feature that is secure.

Installation involves a few steps that will provide you with a set of teeth that you can show off in many social and regular routines. For one, your dentist has to do a thorough investigation into the condition of your mouth, teeth and jaw. The examination aids him or her to see if you qualify for the installation of an implant as well as decide which type is best suited for you.

Two surgical procedures are carried out on most patients when it comes to the placing of an implant in the mouth. The first, involves the insertion by the dentist atop or into a jawbone and allowing the anchor to bond to bone. The second is having the new teeth attached to the dental implant and look natural.

The state of your general health has a large bearing on whether you do qualify for any type of implant. This is because some conditions such as diabetes, heart issues tend to interfere with the healing process after undergoing the surgery. Your dentist has to ensure that your jaw is strong and healthy enough to support the installation of any type of implant.

Implant are available in three different form, the most common of which is the root implant recommended for those with wide space available on the jawbone but those with narrow ones will require to have bone grafting done first. If the jawbone is too narrow, the plate implant is a favorite. Subperiosteal is recommended for individuals who have little space.

There are also different classifications that you need to be aware of and they include those based on implant design, attachment design, macroscopic body design, surface of implant and type of material. For example, those based on attachment mechanism include fibro integration and osseointegration. While those based on body design are the cylindrical, threaded, plateaus, perforated, solid, vented and hollow.

Once you have had Los Angeles dental implants, the next step is committing yourself to a strict mouth hygiene program. Regular visits to your dentist's practice should prove invaluable in ensuring the longevity of the implant. Compared to other types of tooth replacement, the implant is more expensive but many insurance firms only offer coverage to ten percent of fees.
