Beverly Hills Dental Implants for Tooth Replacement
Sep 10th, 2009 by shellem
Patients can lose teeth for a variety of reasons. They may have had periodontal disease or tooth decay. Or, like my brother, they may have lost a tooth due to an accident.
It is important to repair and replace missing or damaged teeth because they can cause other dental issues. Common problems include tipped or crowded teeth and there is a possibility of additional tooth loss.
In the past if a patient had missing or damaged teeth, the solution often was to fit them for dentures or bridgework. However, in some cases the dentures were not always natural looking, sometimes the color of the dentures was off or the denture shape was not quite right for the patient. And, if the fit was not right, the dentures could be uncomfortable and cause problems when speaking and chewing.
Today, many patients are choosing dental implants as an alternative to bridgework and dentures. Dental implants are carefully designed so that they look and feel like natural teeth. According to the Academy of Osseointegration, Implant dentistry can change the smiles and lives of millions for years to come. Academy member and cosmetic dentist Kourosh Maddahi specializes in dental implants at his Beverly Hills office and can answer many questions on this dental procedure.
