It’s easy to feel self-conscious if you have teeth that are broken or missing. Beyond appearance, diseased or damaged teeth can present significant health problems such as heart disease, stroke, anxiety, and depression.

Dental implants are a superior choice to replace teeth that you have lost to disease or damage.  To replace a missing tooth, a titanium post is secured in your jawbone. Once that has healed, a crown is placed on top of the post. The procedure itself causes little pain and post-operative pain is usually minimal. You can return to work quickly after having the titanium screw secured and again after having your new tooth placed.

Dr. Kiai and his team at Westwood Dental Esthetics can help you discover if dental implants are the right solution for you.

Here are some of the Many Advantages of having Dental Implants:

• look, feel, and act just like natural teeth;
• are affixed permanently to your jawbone (unlike dentures) so they can’t fall out or move;
• enable you to chew and bite better than tooth replacement options that sit on top of your gums like dentures or bridges;
• help prevent bone loss which in turn will keep your gums healthy and support your facial structure to prevent sagging and other changes that can make you appear older;
• don’t impair your natural speech or ability to pronounce words correctly;
• are as easy to maintain as your natural teeth—just brush and floss!
• support the adjacent teeth so your other teeth won’t get misaligned;
• can last a lifetime with no cavities!
