Yesterday, we delivered a dental implant case in which we replaced 3 missing back teeth for a great patient I've been treating for nearly 25 years. After he left, I was struck by how far dentistry has come in the 25 years I have been practicing. In 1985, dentists who did implants were ridiculed in much the same way cosmetic dentists were.
Replacing missing teeth with dental implants is just as commonplace now as cosmetic dentistry. Placing the implants themselves is a minor surgical procedure that's about as easy on the patient as a simple tooth extraction. The implants replace the root of the tooth in the bone of the jaw. After the implants are in and healed, replacing the teeth themselves does not even require numbing. The new teeth are simply screwed into the implants.
Implant supported teeth do not get decay, they can be flossed like your own teeth, they are strong, and they feel most like your own teeth. If you have missing teeth, replacing them with dental implants may be worth looking into.
I have helped patients throughout the East Bay area with dental implants including patients from Berkeley, Oakland, Piedmont, Emeryville, Lafayette, Orinda, Moraga and San Francisco. If you are interested in dental implants and live anywhere in the San Francisco area, please call us today at 510-601-7645.
