Are dental implants in San Diego worthy of the investment? Absolutely! A dental implant is a permanent tooth replacement that looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth. The actual dental implant material is typically made of titanium. A post is surgically placed into the jaw bone to replace the root of the missing tooth. The post meshes with the bone to provide a stable foundation. This is essential because the root replacement post helps prevent jaw bone recession that usually occurs after a tooth has been lost or extracted.
Improving Your Smile with Restorative Dentistry
When the dental implants in San Diego have integrated securely with the bone a smaller post is attached. This can take up to six months. This post extends just above the gum line, so the artificial tooth, also known as a crown, is then attached to the post. Same day implants are available for some patients that fit the criteria. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Ortega about your situation, and we’ll find out if you are a good candidate for implant dentistry.
