Almost all residents of Los Angeles are concerned about the welfare of their teeth. Some may not have a set of great looking and white teeth. Poor oral hygiene from childhood would have impacted the condition of the teeth to a deplorable stage where you might be considering dental implants.

Overview:

Implants are titanium screws that are placed inside the jaw bone beneath the gum. Titanium is a pure metal that has been approved medically in any Los Angeles dental implants as there is no adverse reaction or rejections but holds plenty of advantages.

These titanium screws are set in place between 3 and 6 months to allow a fusion of the jawbone and the screws. Once it is osseo-integrated, they would be removed and replaced by fabricated dental prosthesis. Implant dentistry can be used on removing prostheses, teeth retention and fusing bridges and metal crowns.

By getting dental implants you can replace one or more missing teeth for a biologically healthy teeth and gum state.

History:

Dental implants have been used in the past five decades to replace teeth that are missing. The shape, texture and style have evolved over the years to the currently popular osseointegrated implants which were originally developed by a Swedish orthopedist Dr. P.I. Branemark.

Standards & Procedures:

Los Angeles dental implants undergo the strict procedures of the Food and Drug Administration of the United States with numerous implant companies manufacturing them today.  These are used by Los Angeles dental implants dentists through an implant surgery of 2 stages. The first is the implanting the titanium screws into the jaw bone and the second is to replace the titanium screws with dental prosthesis.

Los Angeles dental implants are favorable to those who lose several teeth as only one procedure is needed to replace all the teeth instead of undergoing separate Los Angeles dental implants for different tooth.

Post procedure

As the implant procedure is a surgical procedure, it is performed under very sterile environment to prevent postoperative infection. There would be a prescription of a dose of antibiotics that can be taken as a precaution although the best precautionary measure is to ensure diligent oral hygiene regularly.

There would be no issue on chewing functions once the prostheses have integrated firmly.

The cost of any Los Angeles dental implants procedure is dependent on several factors such as the service charge of the dentist, the surgical phase charges and the prostheses as well as the number of required implants.
