What are the Benefits of Dental Implants in Beverly Hills?
Sep 12th, 2009 by Dr. Kourosh Maddahi DDS
Missing or damaged teeth are a problem for millions of Americans. Some are embarrassed because of their smiles. Others are dissatisfied and frustrated with loose-fitting dentures that are painful and problematic to wear. According the Academy for General Dentistry, dental implants may be a good alternative for the right candidate. They can even be used to help stabilize and secure traditional dentures and bridgework.
Some patients may think that they are not good candidates for dental implants because they have gum disease, but many patients have had successful implant procedures after losing teeth to decay or periodontal disease.
With the help of bone grafting procedures, even patients that have experienced bone loss because of periodontal issues can have dental implants.
Implants look and feel like natural teeth. But, more importantly, they function like natural teeth. So, patients can eat a varied diet without being worried about their dentures rubbing and irritating the gums. They can also speak clearly without worrying about loose bridgework.
